I think I’m going to have an actual blog entry soon. I’m not sure. My brain is pretty fried right now.
But I read a couple of poems at Seldom Seen Poets this past Wednesday that folks were asking about, so instead of just linking to old entries, I’ll post them here.
(Also, if you want to find more poems, here are the most recent entries marked under the category of “poetry.” Most of them have poems in them. They’re also, unfortunately, the most recent pieces I’ve written. But that might change soon. I’m feeling some poetics rising up, from, uh, somewhere.)

I’ll call this one “experimental,” only because the end is not like the beginning. I’ll just say I was trying to be poetic or something.
It turned out okay. Writing this month was a challenge because of starting the new job, but I powered through. Or tried to, anyway.
The next two months will be working on a collaborative project, so there won’t be full pieces posted, but I’ll get some previews up before I leave for vacation.

I have to admit that I love humorous writing, and I love being funny in real life, but I’m not a big fan of writing funny stories.

Every story has an ending. For some people that’s a difficult concept to grasp.

I can’t count how many times I’ve had to walk away from something because it was frustrating me.
