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 25, 2019

Folding Laundry

 Socks. Warm. Paired and rolled.

Your shirt, untangled,
arms crossed and behind the back,

Mine, missing a button. Torn.
Still a little damp.

Your jeans. Those back pockets.
Worn at the knees.

My khakis unbuttoned, unzipped.
Legs folded together.

Bra and underwear, undone
and tossed in the corner of the basket.
