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 :)

Today is a long stretch

Of a day. Today is 

a warm cat napping in our lap.

Today is a tall glass of clear water,

effortless and essential,

a winding tide that laps

at the best and gentle part of us.
