Symbolism

[Leanne]

Going through my old poems has been interesting (well, interesting to me anyway) as I have been reading them from a greater distance, which allows a more critical viewpoint. I've found a few more dominant symbols and spent a lot of time analysing why I have used them. The most dominant are the desert, reptiles (especially lizards) and the ocean. If I presented them out of context, anyone would think I was a cold, heartless, merciless type who would do my best to make you suffer... so, fairly accurate I guess!
