Ames Tracy

Hello everyone! My name is Amy and I've been writing since I was in elementary school. When I was young, my mother passed away. Needing a healthy way to handle the grief, I turned to writing poetry. My 5th grade teacher recognized this and gave me a journal. She said "This is your healing book. Write in it until it's full".

12 years later, I have explored some of my styles and I am considering publishing the healing book with my best work. But first, I need your help. I haven't taken a formal poetry writing class (yet) so any constructive criticism you offer can help me learn and gain skill in writing. Please tell me what you like, what I do well, and what I can work on. I'd really love to edit these and make them their best! Also, let me know which ones you enjoy the most.

I have poems with rhyme, poems that are intended to be songs (although I don't know how to write music yet) and freewrite poems that need structure and a second look at their themes.

If you enjoy my writing then I would really love to publish it! But only if the writing gods find it worthy. Thank you for your time - I'd love to read your work too! This means a lot to me.
