When I saw "table of contents" I was taken aback. I've never known a poet to plan out a whole book of poems. For me, writing happens randomly, with a ton of serendipity. I have no idea where the writing spirit might take me this year. I give you kudos for coming up with some intriguing categories to write poems about, but I hope you'll hold onto this list loosely . . . let poem magic take you where you may not have imagined (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I agree. My poetry is truth. Not a word was planned, not is the "table of contents". I wrote this "table of content" one year after I wrote all the poems, and I just wanted to organize them by theme to make it more convenient to show others (cuz over 100 poems is a lot)

I got lazy, so instead of writing all the poems' names in the Table of Contents (some of them dont have names) I thought it would be fun to group them together under a category, and if you read the poems you'll see that the categories' names actually come from one of the poems in each category which I find most telling.
