Today is overcast in Colorado springs.  This doesn't happen that much here, and it reminds me of home.  That said, I've made some very large plans and changes for myself in the last couple weeks, and I thought I'd post for those who are curious.

Many of the poems I've been writing recently are poems that I can't post on here.  For one reason or another, they're not things I think people from home should read.  Not right now at least.  Maybe they'll be in another book that I'll have ready by summer.  Maybe not.  Let's just say I'm opening chests that up until now I have more or less left ( Read more... )

who thunder loudly,
and act proud,
flap their ears like Dumbo,
and fly,
and then are called storm clouds.
