This past month and a half has been the busiest month -- working through what my next steps are after my position sun downed, figuring out where and what to apply to, but also how poetry fits into my life now. During this time, I wrote haiku. It's something that comforts me and helps me focus. Three images or parts -- one line at a time, and one word at a time. Sample below:
No New Year's Haiku
until the third day; cashing
my final paycheck.
But there were other things going on the end of the year. My boyfriend went to the ER, and I drove up to San Francisco and took care of him for a bit: cooking, taking him to the hospital, watching What's My Line.
Constructing poems
helps calm my mind. I write a
poem a day sort of.
Toward the end of this process, poems were written on different digital areas -- for other poets, for gaybrosover30, in a e-writer where I need to type up the poem again. I got there, but I need to spend some time collecting, reflecting, and editing.
But...
I also joined the 2026 Stafford Challenge with the mindset of being more open, more connected, post more, and be involved.
Keeping busy, and seeing how far I can go. Into the Woods.
