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 :)

swallowed like wine from a chalice

or poison from a cup. And the you

who just read that is gone, too,

leaving only the you who is you, fading

every moment, as people tend to do.
