Magnetic Poetry 365:22

I usually work on these poems in the middle of the night, and Tom usually reads them when he's feeding the dogs in the morning. He said this one made him feel like he needs to defend his gender. I don't blame him. Then I wondered if people will think I'm writing about my life, which makes me feel I need to issue a disclaimer: Words randomly ( Read more... )

Remember when I said that the other poem was my favorite - well I was wrong, I like this one, which might make me seem like a man hater - but I'm not, it just reminds me of something personal. i like the narrator of this poem ... and I like the author too

Thank you, on both counts. Hopefully throughout the rest of the year, you'll get new favorites. Or you'll be all, ISN'T 2011 OVER YET?

Could be worse. Next year I might decide to take a photo of a different rock every day.

Hey, wait. I like rocks...

Nope, they were in the bunch I picked up. Sometimes I'll throw some words back because there are way too many, but except in one case where I went digging for a word a week or so ago, so far I've worked with what I pulled. There are lots of poems I start then have to scrap because the words I need are just not there. This finished poem, in fact, is the fourth of my attempts with these words. It took FORever.
