Safety. Courtesy. Show. Efficiency.
First, safety.
No one afraid.
No one at risk
of pain or loss.
An oasis,
allowing an open
mind and heart.
Next, courtesy.
A kind smile.
A welcome.
The sense that
you belong here.
You have friends.
You are important.
Then, show.
A desire
to surprise
and impress.
Big moments
beyond the basics.
Extraordinary.
Finally, efficiency.
Anticipating need,
solving problems.
Sidestepping
unnecessary frustration.
An easy life.
Simplified.
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 :)
