Hope everyone had a good Poetry Month. My poem today was just about the process itself and it ended up being a rhyming poem. Just for fun.
Prepping my house for the invasion of the little people this weekend (as if the sister who is bringing them and myself aren’t little people as well). Need to [...]

Almost done. Still haven’t gone back and looked at the bulk of my work for the month, but today’s poem was about Fire Ants. Yep. They got me today while I was weeding the tiny little flower beds I made in the front yard. I have some hives but I have cleaned the up, medicated [...]
NaPoWriMo Starting to Wind Down

Just another quickie little poem today for my NaPoWriMo work and only two more days to go. I don’t know how many poems I’ll get out of this month, but I still think the exercise is worthwhile. I was thinking today, that before I knew about NaPoWriMo, I essentially did it back in 2006. Just [...]

I even planned but still screwed up. Such happens when you are trying to overcome years of bad habits and ingrained bad behavoir. Had reasonable breakfast and lunch, but then ate a [...]

Just got back from the Small Press Festival at UNCG and I had a great time listening to readings and purchasing-of course-more books and journals, but I was a little disappointed by the attendance at the festival. From what I could see it was very sparsely attended. I know this is only the 2nd year but [...]
NaPoWriMo at 4am

I should know better than to contemplate ideas before I go to bed. But, I don’t know better.
In the back of my mind lately I’ve been thinking about my thesis/manuscript even though I’ve promised myself I’ll focus on my final full MFA residency etc and only start on the t/m in June.

For Girl
When I was working on my closet reorg I found my old Girl Scout Vest. I think I might actually try to take some pictures of it for fun. I don’t even remember what all the badges are for, but I do know I don’t have them all as I was too [...]
