When was the last time you wrote a poem?

Me? Just finished one (Sunday, 1/7/07, 4:00 pm).

I know this doesn't sound particularly ambitious, but I am going to try to write at least two (good, revised) poems a month this year.

How about you?

I wrote two early morning poems yesterday. I was thrilled with myself.

Two good revised poems a month is a good number. I tried a poem a day this past summer and couldn't stand myself at the end of the month.

A poem a day? I don't even think I could write a haiku on some days. Wow! And Justin, you must be much more of a morning person than I am.

Of course, after posting this I ended up changing a zillion things about the poem, but it's still written.

I wrote one about a week ago.

I would ideally like to write one a week, but that is unlikely, especially this semester. Maybe one or two a month will be more likely.

I aim for one a week, but usually two good finished poems per month is about right. I'm actually working on a poem right now (well, not right now, but within two minutes of right now either way).

I have four new poems in the works right now. I'm almost done with revising two of them. The other two are just emerging. I probably start a new poem once a month, and it takes at least two months before I am satisfied with the revisions.

Hey, I never said they were GOOD poems. I wrote 'bout 25 pages of crap.

Charleston gratitude and overdue update

I've been good about keeping things updated over on my website, but not as successful in updating this dear old blog. Many apologi...
