Upcoming poems

The next poem I'm going to post really marks the beginning of a stylistic change, more so than the one from November 2009. Aside from song titles/music becoming a much bigger influence, I also began to take my poem writing more seriously, like I used to before. Instead of just carelessly writing my emotions out in the span of a few minutes, I really sat down and tried to channel them into something more eloquent and flowing. I don't know if it worked, and it's still very much an ongoing effort but I hope that my sincerity and feelings have somehow made it through.

My poems, for the most part, have also taken on a much darker tone, a bit reminiscent of my older ones. All this really means is that there's less heartbreak and more angst, heh. I've also been experimenting with slightly more uncomfortable subjects, though it's probably not obvious from the poems themselves.

Anyway, I hope these upcoming poems reflect my growth as a poet (am I qualified to call myself such?) and my desire to improve.
