I am collecting a list of poetry on the following themes for art project and select the ones that flow well with my work. I have a list of my own and also the list I received from an OTA as a response. But since some of the poems were a bit too long (I need short poems), I requested for an additional list, but she's preoccupied with her own work and she is not able to help me out today. Could you please add more lists on the following 4 themes? And if you can, please respond soon after you post out because I will need to find out more on the particular poems that you select on my own. Thank you!
