Poetry Review Project

Three Phase Project: Phase 1: Finding the Poems You need to choose three poems that have one theme that reflects your life either past, present or future. If you are unable to choose one that reflects you personally, it may reflect a theme you think represents you or you enjoy.


 * The poems
 * ... must have been written at least 100 years apart
 * ... cannot be about love
 * ... only one poem can be written by a dead white guy.
