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: August 31, 2021

Today

I am celebrating the last day

of bus duty until next semester, 


and this shipment of new novels,

which means new questions to ask,


and I am celebrating one week

until my fifty-third birthday and


the antibodies my COVID shot

provided to keep me safe,


and I will celebrate Jim Morrison

and The Doors, who I heard


on the radio on my way into work, 

and I celebrate that people are strange.


There are more things in heaven

and earth than are dreamt of


in my philosophy, so I celebrate

and take them as they come.
