NEW as of 09-08-2017:

I wrote a couple new poems recently, and posted them to the blog, but only just got around to adding them here. There's a sonnet called Epistolary and a villanelle called The Thing About Mistakes. Enjoy! Thanks.

NEW as of 12-12-2016:

New poem! Woo! Its subject should be obvious...

ETA: By the way, the poem is written in anapestic tetrameter (yes, I had to look that up, too), and has a rhyming scheme that is very similar to a Shakespearean sonnet, but with more lines, because I never know when to shut up.

NEW as of 01-09-2015:

I've been adding a number of poems over the last few days, as part of a project I've undertaken called Fun-a-Day, where you make something new every day for a month. Hope you like them!

Oh, also, I've made it simpler to get here! You can now use the much easier-to-remember url http://www.feanorsworkshop.com/poetry/ to access the poetry section of my site. Yay!
