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 :)

My notebooks say a lot about my brain:
Everything, everything shoved in tight
wherever I can find a place and in no
particular order- not chronological or
in order of importance, just a hoarder's
fortress, a snake pit of tangled words
and the occasional doodle or drawn
partition in an attempt to create order
amid the bits of inspiration, images,
and grocery lists, notes from meetings
written mostly to have something to do
with my hands, outlines and bullet
points left behind and adrift eventually
boxed and stacked against one another
as if crowded into an attic, Exhibit A
in the evidence of my state of distraction.
