Hey all,
Not sure if you heard but lots of people are doing a poem a day being that
this here month is poetry month. I think every month is poetry month, but
hey - we gotta do something every now and then for everyone else to
celebrate it.
I'm following Robert Lee Brewer's Poetic Asides -
http://blog.writersdigest.com/poeticasides/ and adding a poem a day. I
thought I'd post them here as well as I've been quite quiet lately.
Also thanks everyone for answering my story questions. I'm putting it all
together this weekend to send off to my dramaturge. Hopefully he'll like
it...

POEM DAY 1:
In the Institute
Her floors still sparkle
years after her brain melted
and disorder reigned.
It started with string,
a loose thread that unravelled
her tightly wound self,
his barbed words poking
holes in clammed up memories
until they slipped out
and she, like the egg,
sat in pieces on the floor
scrubbing and scrubbing
it clean.
