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: February 22, 2019

Up High

I'm sending you a virtual high-five.
You can decide what it's for.

Maybe you filled what was empty
or emptied what was full.

Or maybe you imagined
the exact right thing to say

and maybe you had the good sense
not to say it.

Perhaps you were the only one
who saw it hidden in plain sight.

Or was it that the right numbers were down
or that you found that twenty in your wallet.

If you finally solved the puzzle
or went one more day without a drink,

I'm holding my figurative hand in the air,
up high, to the side, don't be slow.
