Though most of these poems were dedicated to some person or another, none of whom probably even care anymore =(, I'll post them up anyway. For the not-so-literary-minded, don't read this! Go to my fanfic or my other links. For everyone else, enjoy this admittedly-sentimental colleciton of poetry. The fires of genius are lit by one another.  Not unlike lighting another's cigarette with one's own...thankfully, I don't smoke.

Most recently, I have been heavily influenced by Chinese poetry and Japanese haiku.  The simplicity and elegance of their concise style has greatly impressed me.  Unfortunately, as my competence in the Chinese language is at best passable and my Japanese limited to a couple phrases and curses, the English language will have to do (albeit poorly).
