Light And Dark, Quinn Marshall
The Agora
Some of my recent poems. They are melancholy, and many play on ideas about what is light and darkness and how they manifest themselves.

The first poem "Thoughts of a Dying Person" is written by an anonymous author whose speaker questions the things in life they would do differently if they had more time. Its form is more prose like than the others in the document and could be considered flash fiction or prose poetry but seems to fit the poetic category more through the usage of a triangular shaping of the poem.
The second poem, an untitled piece by A. …
