Dearest all!

Just to remind you that Week of Poetry is starting tomorrow and it's not too late to join in!

What is involved? Basically, you pledge to post a poem per day every day. This could be a poem you wrote yourself or a poem by someone else.

Sigh. So I did say I’d put this up about three weeks ago, but then my interest in the whole thing waned. Normally I’d be all over these masturbatory writing memes like lamprey eels on a heamophiliac  (…yeah, okay, I disgusted myself a bit with that simile) but lately I’ve been rather meh about my writing. I poke at it with a stick and the words ( Read more... )

I'm working on new stuff, I swear. But before that, comes traditional 'omg is this all I achieved last year' round-up of posted scribbles. With some self-indulged ramblings.
