100 Poems

Hello, 

Welcome to my blog. My name is Magnolia Thade and I created this corner of the Internet to be a home for a special project I am starting. I stumbled upon a talented writer who created a list of 100 different Themes to write poetry about. I was enchanted by this list and felt compelled to test my skills with it. 

A normal poem takes me at most 10 minutes to write and I will rarely ever go back and proof read it again. My goal with this project is to slow myself down and actual savor the words I write, instead of letting my thoughts float away from me. I hope you will enjoy taking this journey with me, and I hope we can learn from each other. Feel free to [constructively] critique my work.
