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: July 10 , 2019

Just Playing

There is something about watching
those guys play guitar, when they
get real comfortable, when they
settle in and maybe bow their heads
and close their eyes and smile, no
strap or pick, no furrowed brows,
just leaning into what they're playing,
and their hands just glide between
the chords- G, E minor, C, and D-
like they're swept into a stream, like
there isn't anything they need to think,
just chasing each other around some
playground like kids and losing all
track of time as if the sun isn't going
down, as if the streetlights won't
come on, as if it might never be time
to go inside and wash up for dinner.
Just playing, just playing, and just
staying there as long as they can.
