10 Poems That Define Me

My writing has been fragments of my life-   little snippets in time.
I do write of death and sadness but I also write of love and nature.
Below you will find a list of the poems that I feel define me _

Andrea Dietrich April 19, 2020 at 5:55 PM Dear Heart, it's so cool that you have this file of your ten defining poems to put in your bio. I hope when I ever get more time, I can check some of these out. So we do not need to put the poem's title as well (even though it can be seen inside the link?) I am going to take a look at Line's bio again to see if she did it that way. I love how you described the reasons for the poems that you picked! Constance La France April 20, 2020 at 5:05 PM Andrea, thanks for visiting and hope when you have time you can visit my poem collection, I did put them on my bio. It took time to pick these poems from the thousands of poems I have on poetrysoup, but I really like the result _Constance
