WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

Came third in a slam ...


Came third in a slam today,

tied with one of my closest

poet friends and colleagues.

(Just as well – embarrassing 

if one had beaten the other!)

Also I sold some more books. 


A poet I admire told me

I ‘rocked the stage.’ A new fan 

said that my poetry was ‘very 

moving.’ Came home and poured 

a celelbratory glass: organic Shiraz.

My son says, ‘Living your best life.’
