Part of my challenge to self, writing more verse.  Didn’t write one yesterday but not caring at the moment.

Poetry need be more uncut, raw yes but more truthful, capturing everything in the immediacy…

STUDYING…

Plath, Maya, Shakur, even the old British chaps.

Needing something different, now.  NOW.

No deliberating or meditating, or measuring.  Just in the moment, verse, thank self for thinking about nothing and just putting to page what’s in thought – boat, island, espresso, Paris, escape, quiet –
