Sit at Typewriter, Open Vein. March 25, 2014. I hate this. This back-and-forth, two-stepping, silent, music-less dance. The simple refusal to mark time as we ought, to step together and make our own music. I hate this. This pressure, building and crushing and cracking. My inability to discover "what's wrong", much less express it. I hate this. I just want to breathe, and believe, and be. Library Haiku →. 2 thoughts on “ silent.dance. August 7, 2014 at 10:37 am. I get it, not a literal dance. July 28, 2016.

Many things, but. I have to confess this slice has eluded me for the past two days. It’s been hiding, making me work to discover. What I wanted to say about a month of blogging every day. In the end, I thought about what is necessary to being open to and making discoveries. Carol Dweck’s Growth Mindset. I hav...

Reading to the Core. Just another WordPress.com site. Poetry Friday: “A Box of Pastels”. July 17, 2015. 8220;A Box of Pastels”. I once held on my knees a simple wooden box.

A friend recently asked me, “But what makes it a poem? 8221; I confess I was stumped for a minute, then resorted to a fairly dry, textbook definition. This bothered me, so I went in search of a better answer. I’m not at all surprised that I found one in Mary Oliver’s. A Poetry Handbook: A Prose Guide to Understanding and Writing Poetry. Isn’t that a wonderful explanation of a poem? We bought from the boy.
