Absent

Sorry I've been absent the last two days... I know, I'm behind. I will pick it back up right away! I just needed a mini-break. I'll try to make up the days I missed. Wish me luck!

Not Today

I'm sorry, but I need to take today off from writing. I have a huge stack of papers to grade tonight. I will attempt to make it up tomorrow.

2011

Well, it's been two years since I did this, but I'm trying it out again. Feel free to follow along as I attempt to write a poem a day for the entire month of April, 2011. It's going to be difficult, and I think I must be a glutton for punishment, as I am super busy right now. But, it's been 2 years since I've written a poem, and it sickens me to think that. I need to get back on the horse. So, here it goes! I will post my first one later today, and I will continue to post one a day until the end of the month, if all goes as expected.

I will remove the poems soon, so check back often to see what's going on. There will probably be a lot of disasters, but hopefully I'll get a couple gems out of it.

Find Craig Arnold

If you haven't heard, a fellow poet, Craig Arnold, has gone missing. Visit this site: Find Craig Arnold for more information. It is being updated regularly.

The end.

Well, the month is officially over. I got 22 out of 30 poems written this month. I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get 30, but 22 is pretty good. That's more poems than I've written in a very long time. I'm thankful for this project. It's pushed me into uncomfortable territory. I probably wouldn't have written a single poem this month if it weren't for the challenge. I'm going to have to try this again soon... maybe on a smaller scale. Auf Wiedersehn.

I'm sorry I've not posted in the past couple of days. Unfortunately, I've been swamped. I had every intention of making up the poems I've missed... but I just don't know if, realistically, it's going to happen.

On that note, I'm satisfied with the amount of work I've generated this month, so far. But, I'm going to try to finish out the month without missing anymore days. If I find the time, I will make up the missing days... and if not... ces't la vie.

I am currently out of town for a friend's wedding. I will try to post a poem every day, but if I happen to miss a day between now and Saturday, I will make it up. There will still be 30 poems at the end of this month!
