*blushes* thank ye all. I find that when I do break down and try to write poetry, if I'm happy, it comes out feeling forced and fake. For the most part, I like to do a lot of free writing, in a journal or on scrap paper. The three poems above, I remember exactly where I was, and what the circumstances were for writing them. I'll post a few more at some point when I've found the notebook they're all stashed in.
