Midlife Chrysalis
Yeah, I'll borrow my subject line from a title of an episode of The Venture Bros.
I know I've gone around the bend when I find I've joined a poetry community on LJ-poetssociety-and am actively posting to it within minutes of the join. If I'm having a midlife crisis, (I turned 40 just under three months ago) I can at least take comfort in not finding myself behind the wheel of a sports car I can't afford, burning rubber circles in some unfortunate parking lot's asphalt.
Anyway, the signal-to-noise ratio in poetssociety isn't the best, but I've read a fair number good bits within the last 50-or-so posts. I hope my attempts will turn out as signal rather than noise. Should you wish to subject yourself to what might be either halfway decent amateur poetry or needles to the eyes, the links are: 1) Unspoken Compliment, and 2) a poetic version of my post under the subject Passing Fancy.
