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 28, 2019

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.
