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 :)

Passion Project

So I will take my hammer,

my drill and saw, 

and in an open space, 

I will build some joy.


With plane and lathe

and hasp and file

I will do my best to shape

the great happiness.


With sand and paint

and a yellow stain

I will create the shining thing

that sings and sings.


And I will place it 

in a public square

and, smiling, greet the friends

who join me there.
