Four symbolic poems about you

Here you may upload a variety of different potential submissions regarding a simple idea, but a tough project due to it being personal: four poems that describe you, described with symbolism (and any other vocabulary tools we've discussed you'd like to use!). They can be of any length, but should be complete (don't leave us hanging! Show us the whole "story" so to speak), but probably no more than 10-15 lines each, anyway.

If you get stuck, think of it like this, and complete a sentence below to help you start:

The image/picture, keepsake/memento, best memory (etc, etc) that best describes me is...

My life is/is like a...

The thing that broke me was...

Beauty is...

                                   I love my garden as a descriptor for me and the way I plant and tend to things carefully (then they die anyway and I get no tomatoes), or my willow tree in the back that bends over a little more, weighted down by what it has grown into, but anchored firmly in the ground...the list goes on!

Please DON'T be your phone, or your XBox, or your car, unless your car really IS unique (like my friend who drove a "Death Cab," which is a VW beetle with saws and razor wire sticking out of the roof. It's horrifying!)

Submissions: you may upload one document with four pieces, or four separate files if you wish, or pictures of work (if you prefer to write on paper), or you may even, if you're so inclined, deliver spoken-word poetry and read it aloud via a video (how cool is Canvas?).
