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: May 18, 2019

It's Not the Heat

The first day it happens,
it slaps you and sticks
to you like wet Saran Wrap,
a sliding, sagging 
second skin, an oppression
made of sunlight and 
the rotting remains of 
thunderstorms.
Get used to it. It happens
a lot around here.
