So I don’t know if anyone really sees poems posted on the middle of the night but whatever, I wrote a villanelle using Neko Case lyrics if you’re still awake on this full moon nite. Happy poetry month! #napowrimo

Came across this today in the “Big Ideas Simply Explained“ book that lives in our bathroom magazine rack, published 14 years ago

Saw this photo this morning; set the tone for the day. Art does not vanish from my heart at any point during the day ❤️ #writer4life

Day 4 of #napowrimo: Cat Power reference and a wetland of stars. I wrote so much more but the lines were trite, and there’s nothing worse than trite poetry #poem #poetry #blueskypoets

Ok, well then! I promised myself I would post all my #napowrimo poems this month, even if they are weird AF like this mashup of SurvivorMan and sea cucumbers and current politics. If anyone knows Les Stroud tell him I wrote a poem about him. #poetry #canpoli #blueskypoets #poetrymonth

First day of #napowrimo and I’m totally out of practice! Here is a very unfinished, charmingly shoddy poem with a great title 😉. The prompt: use a term from the MOMA glossary of art terms as inspiration. #poetry #blueskypoets

Saw this online today and was like fuck yeah, we still need to think about moss in times like these ❤️
