My thoughts on writing and other random things as they come up.

This is a blog where I keep my thoughts and daily comments about writing and WDC.

I really like his paragraph at the end, talking about it, too!

Just lovely! Kinda sideways, but it reminded me of my old Buick that I inherited when my grandfather passed away. No gloves, but little remnants of his pipe tobacco everywhere. Completely different sentiment, I know, but the poem still too me there while it was also bringing me along with the poet. I love it when reading poetry is like that!

I love the line, "where his growth scared him."

I'm also glad to be introduced to more female poets. I feel like I'm not familiar with enough of them.

I stumbled on the same line. For me, it's because it wasn't the same voice as what I'd perceived up to that point.

Gorgeous poem, though.

I am loving this activity for getting me to articulate why the poems that stick with me do stick with me, but I'm not experiencing any surprises in my personal preferences...yet.

Oh, gorgeous! Thank you for introducing me to this poem! I'm marking it to read again and again later.

I love where the first line breaks off, as well as, "playing music with words." I bet she was an inspiring teacher.

Oh, I love this poem. Thank you for introducing me to it, and for your personal perspective. I relate to your under- or over-reacting. And to the poet's depiction of the latter.

NERVES

Grad school orientation is today and I'm VERY nervous. Which is really kind of unlike me. I don't get nervous often.

I think it has less to do with the fact I'm so old.

It hasn't bothered me to attend classes, but it feels different to actually be part of the program.

I'm constantly feeling funny about it. Like I don't deserve to be here. And I'm afraid that others will look at me and wonder why I am here, so late in life, and taking a place that might belong to some young person that will do more with it...

Maybe writing this will help me get over the nerves....
