Run, Forrest
You know that scene
in Forrest Gump
when Tom Hanks
takes off running
and just keeps going?
That's me.
My own wind-up toy,
I am full of my own
forward momentum
and mysterious purpose
until, one day, I'm done.
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 :)
