2020-11-14 Doing the Math ➖➗➕
Broke my streak yesterday. Worked on my workshop submission both fine tuning the lines and deciding which poems were worthy of such rare attention. It’s really a confidence game at this point. I was tired and had an unusual day that went astray from my normal routine. With my dauber down, not a poem in…

2020-11-10 Freezing Rain, Memory, and Poetry
A freezing rain greets me as I accompany the trash carts to the end of the driveway. It tears my attention away from what I don’t remember. It feels good to feel the rain on my skin and how it forces me to move faster, look forward to being back inside, strip down to dry.…

2020-08-10 It’s Definitely Time
I happen to have pulled some long days lately covering for my PM who was out with a serious emergency. I happen to bust my ass and sacrifice quality time with my kids in these waning days of summer before school is back in session. I happen to decide that enough is enough and begin…
