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 :)

and as useful as a knife,
as honest as a fist,
but you won't enjoy your life.

Better to be honest as a kitten
and as useful as a pen,
as clever as the solution
missed by other men.

Be bold as sugar maples
and as effective as applause,
as enduring as the ocean
and as patient as a pause.
