Poetry Novice

I’m not a poet. Or rather, I AM a poet but never think it’s anything to fuss about. Free verse is just a convenient way of expressing ideas about things I encounter in my daily life. I usually don’t bother to write it down, but a few years ago the National Poetry Writing Month exercise caught my attention, so I decided to give it a whirl. Besides, it’s given me an excuse to use my photography too. With every poem, you’ll see the picture instead of the thousand words I might have written if not for the concise nature of poems.

I don’t promise to continue to write every day, but I might. Stay tuned to find out…
