Welcome!
In my class, we have recently finished up a poetry unit and I figured I would share some works with you.
Please note that a couple of these may cover material that is a bit sensitive. All poems will be in spoilers, and if needed will have appropriate warnings.
Want to see more? Let me know and I'll see what I can do!
Comments and criticism are appreciated.

Alone
I behold my previous dwelling
Fingers spread out upon the turf
Grass puncturing my elementary gown
The construct in the distance
It drifts elsewhere from me
Atop the bluff
Torment

Type: Villanelle
The melting glass slipper, threaded through blood
The sun is an enemy, cue the sick
Pain rocketing through my body, flash flood
My stomach is hallow, empty, sound thud
Every night I suffer with needle prick
The melting glass slipper, threaded through blood
It's torture lying in bed, hush in cold blood
Filled with vomiting and midnight kick
Pain rocketing through my body, flash flood
I'm frustrated, I dream of bright rose buds
There are sores on hips, devil's walking stick
The melting glass slipper, threaded through blood
At times, I can't breath, can't drink, drying mud
All I can do is wait, too weak to crick
Pain rocketing through my body, flash flood
Embarrassment, scarring words, denial like mud
Rash brandishing like a lit candle wick
The melting glass slipper, threaded through blood
Pain rocketing through my body, flash flood
The sun is an enemy, cue the sick
Pain rocketing through my body, flash flood
My stomach is hallow, empty, sound thud
Every night I suffer with needle prick
The melting glass slipper, threaded through blood
It's torture lying in bed, hush in cold blood
Filled with vomiting and midnight kick
Pain rocketing through my body, flash flood
I'm frustrated, I dream of bright rose buds
There are sores on hips, devil's walking stick
The melting glass slipper, threaded through blood
At times, I can't breath, can't drink, drying mud
All I can do is wait, too weak to crick
Pain rocketing through my body, flash flood
Embarrassment, scarring words, denial like mud
Rash brandishing like a lit candle wick
The melting glass slipper, threaded through blood
Pain rocketing through my body, flash flood

Another day, they say, won't hurt at all
But the pile of letters, it's gotten tall
Light from the windshield
A hidden front
Danger
But they pay no mind
All lost in their own worlds
Distractions
Of their own thoughts

A titled bar of steel
Walked by a man.
Legs stiff, walk forced.
High.
So high up.
A wind taunted him,
His sorrows peeked from his eyes.
Sadness.
The steel beam shook.
His knees locked.
Suddenly,
He was tilted,
His neck askew.
Plummet.
He lacked the bullet in his chest
To call himself a victim.
Instead,
His grave was filled with cowardice.
