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: March 2, 2019

Architecture

To write
is a form
of delicate
making,
a taking of
architecture
from mind
to page,
from blue
print to
breaking
ground
similar to
stacking
playing
cards to
form a
house,
leaning
paper thin
ideas against
one
another
in pursuit of
a whole,
each card
located
and pulled
out of the dark
vortex
of the mind
and given
flickering
life, set
in some
lean-to
arrangement,
and you can
stack a good
number
of words like
a tower
before
the nature of
their juxtaposition,
or worse,
the weight of
their totality
necessitates
editing,
which can feel
like the moment
someone opens
a window.
