perhaps the dedication
to the art of writing poetry
comes with a certain mindset.
For not all understand
the flowing freeness
of the verse,
the delicious structure
of the form.
And even amongst those
who do write criticism
is rampant still.
did not like the prompt today. my kid suggested this one.
As the ink flows
the poetry is lighter than prose.

So I normally do a small break of sorts during two months of the year from my normal posts. April and November. The reason for this is I am posting daily poetry and the other posts are just a bit much to add on. I will return to the weekly posts in May (Maybe. I am considering doing mermay this year. Which would mean an art post daily instead via instagram links.) Regardless there will be content, just not the Same posts I usually do.

For though I had not written
in a score of days,
the pen seemed to have

joined as one,
and I myself
found poetry done.

faster than
tears fill the ocean.
writing for art

writing for emotion.
so I think I
will write my poetry
for sake of poetry.
removing the weight
of love, hate,
joy, and sorrow.
