Picking a poem and subject is easy.  Finding the right words and lines to use is quite difficult.  I originally had planned for only 1 poem, and that in itself was rather difficult to write.  I looked up plenty of poems about Time and a few about Death, and a few about War, but the problem is picking out and using lines from the poems in a way that not only sounds right but also conveys the meaning correctly in an efficient manner. 

 Developing the poem and its message is a work in progress in itself.  Oftentimes I would discuss the poem with a friend only to find that I have already created a new meaning for the poem or another message I want to convey that I then had to change in the poem.  Those poems which actual styles, such as diamond or the haiku, I had to really pay attention to wording to convey lines properly with a word or syllable constraint.  

For the pictures I borrowed ready-made pictures from other sources and made them into my own by combining different pictures together to make something new, then adding the poems to them.
