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 :)

A Poem for Emily Dickinson on her Birthday

Happy Birthday to you Emily.
You are often on my mind-
Having written so prolifically,
The poetic passage of your time.

I wonder if you were driven
By the Muses or the Task?
And I hope I'd be forgiven
If, were we to meet, I asked.

Don't think I've not considered
The Notoriety that would ensue,
If before my Last Bird flittered,
I had written more than you.
