So the purpose of this blog is to be a space to practice creativity. I am currently using it as a place to record a single, unedited poem for each day in 2019. While I attempt to write everyday, I may not actually post daily. Instead, I will post poems as they are completed, but one for everyday of the year. Not sure I can make it, but we'll see. It's fun to try regardless :)

Poem: January 1, 2019

Daily Cosmology

In the beginning...

Nothing. An empty page.
Possibility.

Or

Everything. Chaos.
Possibility.

Name one thing-
Pen, Zero, Circle, Sea-
Any one idea can grow roots
And define itself through comparison.

Black pen, greater than, concentric, raging.

Then,
Systems, relationships, hierarchies, symphonies,
Lifetimes.

Order. A full page.

Selecting is deselecting.

Everyday, the task of taming possibility.
