In which the plague inevitably spreads & Marie somehow writes NaPoWriMo Draft 8.
Thank you, yes, I am improving at last, but horribly, Vincent has caught it. From me. Which means I didn’t get it from him, and I’m a bad mama to have intimated that I might have done so in my last post. I am happy to report, however, that so far, though he’s plenty sick,…

Andrea Cohen & Memorious
I’m now 4 poems behind — haven’t managed to write another poem since finishing the Pleiades poems — but I’m trying not to get too worked up about it. I’ve really enjoyed being so poetry-centric, and I’m happy with what I have written, but I have to say, between a full-time job, Vincent, poetry readings,…

NaPoWriMo Draft 7.
If my last draft seemed a bit hostile, well, that was more or less where I was last night. Tonight, the beast sleeps, I’m bleary-eyed, but I did complete my Spring Pleiades series. After this, I’ll have to find something else to keep the words flowing. Maybe a few good hours of sleep will help.…

NaPoWriMo Draft 6.
Due to a beast of a child and other nearly insurmountable obstacles, I almost didn’t finish this. It was not a good night. No, not a good night at all. But it’s done, and I’m going to bed. For a short time: […gone…]

NaPoWriMo Draft 5.
Warning: Cloying Child Story Ahead: Vincent had just woken up, and I was changing him from his pajamas to day clothes. “I love you,” said I. “No way!” said my baby. “I love you,” I repeated with some consternation. “No way!” said my baby. “I love you!” I wailed. “Hug!” cried Vincent. “Kiss!” Already a…

NaPoWriMo Draft 4.
I’m two poems behind, but never mind — 4 poems in 6 days is lightning-fast for me. Having a project in mind helps. The Collected Poets Series reading with Annie Boutelle and Jack Wiler was phenomenal — what a mix! Annie’s Scottish burr was mesmerizing, strongest as she read from Nest of Thistles, my favorite…

NaPoWriMo Draft 3.
This one was rough, maybe because I’m still recovering from last night — great reading! — but I’ll post it anyway. From my Spring Pleiades series, for a short time only, my third poem for NaPoWriMo: […gone…]

NaPoWriMo Draft 2.
I was miraculously able to eke out enough time last night to write another poem, another Pleiades — I’m really enjoying this form, have decided to write a series of poems, Spring Pleiades, based on it. This poem flowed much quicker, probably because I spent so much time last go-around, and had a better idea…

NaPoWriMo Draft.
The Pleiades form introduced to me by ReadWritePoem turned out to be a great challenge. I managed to complete one draft of a poem thus far. It took nearly 5 hours. I’m not going to get very far at this rate. But I work slowly, tediously really. I was thinking of attempting the Rothko poem,…

NaPoWriMo 2.
I stopped by Arts & Letters Daily and my head almost exploded. Seriously. Have you ever been there? All that text…my brain is bleeding. * Now that I’ve decided to trail along behind the NaPoWriMo bandwagon in my own little red wheelbarrow, I’m, well, dare I admit, feeling excited, like I’m catching a wave(let) on…
