Maybe it's that if we develop an interesting consciousness, even the mundane will appear spectacular. #poetrycommunity

This is a glad sappy post only to say that I'm grateful for the community on here and the nice poets and writers I've met. Oddly, I guess, it really hasn't been stressful! #poetry #writingcommunity

I think my time on here has been without too much stress because I really only see other writers. I don't get too much stuff about current events. And anyway one gets bombarded with that everywhere else!

Every day we write a bit of verse. And then something happens and we write that down as well. And we shape it and try to make it sing. It's fun. It's serious. And we would know no other kind of life! #poetry

I think Thoreau said something like, if you work a little every day towards your dream, well, you're winning! #poetrycommunity

I guess I had to go to hell.
And now the stupid bell rings
when I walk by Richmond Place
and it freaks me out like it always did...

So, I always used to talk about the soul. I didn't know what the soul was! And maybe I still don't, but I did love when someone said it was "Pure Concept"...which is as baffling as any other explanation. BUT I believe the soul is involved with the writing process...#poetry

There was a time
during my violent incarnation
when I felt my soul being ripped apart
that my dad offered
to make me a little office to write in
in his little print shop.
But all I wanted to do was scream.

I guess I have to confess some degree of ambivalence about the people who influenced me most. And who, as many of you understand, are very much alive! Love...

One reserves his harshest criticism for poems that are a lot like the ones he himself writes. #poetry

And in the end, you are both subject and object of the search!

I really think one of the loveliest things in life is to return again to a poet you've always disliked and find that now you really love them. #poetry

Sometimes it feels like anything absolute you think about poems can turn into the opposite the next day!

Proud to say I've got a new very innocuous poem up with Anacapa Review. Hope you like it!
