I'm joining Beverly A Baird, Linda Schueler and others in a "year long poetry practice – on the first Friday of each Month," when they, and anyone else who joins, will be writing a poem based on the theme of the month and a photo taken relating to that theme.
You can find out more about this here.
This month has been busy. I usually write a poem and send it off to my two favourite photographers to come up with an image to accompany it. I didn't have anything to send to them and begged for help. My partner, Randy Rotheisler, sent me this. If Ron Peace sends me something, I'll write a poem for him too.

Here is my response:

lines,

what's ordinary
into the divine
Love this! I am wondering about your process here. Did you write a longer piece and whittle it down, or did the poem come to you already short like this?
ReplyDeleteIt was always short and I had the idea of what I wanted to say. The hard part was/is getting the right words and phrasing. I think it might be harder to do a short poem since each word matters so much.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree.
