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 :)

My plants help bring the outside in,

especially when the sunlight hits

the courtyard in the morning and

brings out the bright green ground

gradually blends itself away into 

shadow at the far end of the yard,

so that everything is one green

sightline on either side of the glass,

as if you could pass uninterrupted

from fluorescent to ambient, as if you

could smell the mulch and sweet

flora and walk away from the clocks.
