reflecting through poetry

For the second week of Graduate Project Writing, we were tasked with the in-class exercise of creating poems. I consider myself a very self-reflective and philosophical person, so I decided to incorporate this side of myself in my writing. i'd love to know which of my poems (if any) resonate the most to you.
Learning Outcomes:
I am quite experienced at writing long papers (due to my undergraduate liberal arts education), but have little to no experience writing poetry. Doing so was very liberating, and felt more creative / artistic as opposed to objective and logical. I'm really interested in combining this poetry with graphics / imagery, and would love feedback or inspiration in regards to instances where this is done well. Specifically, do you know of any graphic designers who also happen to be skilled poets?
