2021-01-03 Final MFA Res Day ??!… 🤦🏼♀️
It’s official… I’ve lost track of what “MFA” day it is, what day or the week, and also what year. But I’m not ready for the new year yet and that’s ok. What? Did I just say that I was not ready for 2020 to end. Well, not exactly. I’m ready for 2020 to take…

2020-12-30 Final MFA Day 2: Gathering All the Internets
I’ve gathered all the internet in the house that I could do as to try to get a good signal in a more isolated location. Maybe I should put the cable modem, WiFi router, and signal boosters in my car and drive away. Never mind that. There’s a giant snow pile behind my car and…

2020-12-29 Final MFA Day 2: Snowmageddon Anyone?
It’s like 2020 is holding the mic, refusing to let go.. saying “I’m not done yet bitches!” All the living under the rock life and blissful denial that I use to shield myself from what goes on in the world outside my door can’t protect me from the apparent snowmageddon that is now “pouring like…

2020-12-24 A Perfect 4
I haven’t put on a dress in a while, but I’m pretty sure size 4 is still what would fit best. On a scale from 0-10, pretty sure my poetry is a 4 too. At least based on all these rejections. Another one popped into my in-box this morning. Like hello… merry fucking Christmas to…

2020-12-18 Time Doesn’t Give a Reason
It just runs and rolls and takes the days away. Years lost inside fragments of fractured mirrors or broken bottle glass strewn across the lawn, bits so small and clustered they look like the tee-box of hole nine. You know the one. Hard as hell to hit from because of the stampede of cottonwood trees…

2020-12-07 I’ve Got Crocodiles Now
I don’t have much. My attention span feels thin today. Reading Poem-a-day, something about a duplex, I’m left uninspired by the language and really wondering when “This” will appear. Some days are like that and I just want to let it be. I’m giving myself a pep-talk as I write this. You can do it.…

2020-12-02 Timeline of Grief
We all operate at different speeds. Something happens, an unexpected death and the ways society operates with such precision, dictating procedure and timing. Some of these are for good reason, necessary steps such as removing physical remains to more appropriate locations. I’ve never before been a witness of someone who has passed into the next…

2020-11-29 Rounding Up and Rounding Out
Every morning I get at least two new-to-me poems in my email in-box. About a week ago I decided that since I’m tired of writing about The same-old-same-old AND seem to be Most inspired to write Creatively after reading new material that I would use these little nuggets as a jumping off points for new…
