This year’s theme for everything I’m doing on Experience Writing is Depth, so for this year’s daily posts in April I’ll be exploring the A-Z of Depth, and writing daily poems for Poetry Month about the A-Z of Depth. The word depth has many different and interesting meanings which I presented in my post “OurContinue reading “The A-Z of Depth”

Depth of Mess from a New Perspective
Today, I am celebrating making a deep dent in the depths of papers stacked around my office, and hiding in the desk drawers. 🥳🎆🎉 At the start of this month, I gave myself the tiny goal of throwing away ten pieces of paper a day. That could be anything: receipts, ticket stubs, old mail, anything.Continue reading “Depth of Mess from a New Perspective”
I’m Thankful for Some Fun
The new issue of Gold Man Review is now available, and includes my poem “Taste of Temptation.” I really love the cover. That shark fin makes me so happy. Yesterday, at my parents’ house after attending a family friend’s memorial, I glanced through a bookshelf in my childhood bedroom that my parents keep insisting wasContinue reading “I’m Thankful for Some Fun”
Find the Joy in Grief and the Hope in Despair
I thought I was exhausted from Writober, but it turned out I just needed the election to be over, or perhaps both. I unplugged yesterday, and didn’t peek at the results until kitty was curled up next to me, I had delicious baked plums to fill my empty belly, and cocoa-coffee to wash it down.Continue reading “Find the Joy in Grief and the Hope in Despair”

Isolated Incident
These are my responses to the Writober prompt post Fear of Isolation. OctPoWriMo Today’s poem was really fun. During Friday Gathering we did a revision exercise.

Reclamation
These are my responses to the Writober prompt post Fear of Abandonment. I really enjoyed how the prompts came together today. Like my experience with my photo-walk yesterday, looking for fear of abandonment made me think about its opposite, reclamation. When a building is abandoned, nature reclaims it. When objects are abandoned, they may laterContinue reading “Reclamation”
