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: November 18, 2019

Islands

 How nice it is to find spaces
to connect. Great, friendly
tables and art on the walls
and comfortable chairs, sturdy
enough for learning forward
and leaning back, places where
we smile and talk about what
matters- our families, our work,
the songs and books and jokes
we carry with us. How nice it is
to find safe and serviceable
spaces where we close the door
and step away from pain.
