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…]

Monday, Monday…
A day without drama or excitement or good/bad news, just Vincent & I hanging out. Vincent (aka My Little Petri Dish) has a cold, so he’s subdued and amenable to quiet reading & coloring time, which suits me perfectly any day (I have latent reclusive tendencies), but especially today — a poem’s been bubbling around…
