I love the outlet that the poem has provided me.
After I wrote the first one, I was very sad.
But after the second one, I felt so much lighter.
As you know, I have a problem.
I am working on it.
But I figured, I can use it just like any other subject to write about.
And if it helps anyone else too that much the better.

I don't know if I will have enough for a book, but if so, it could be something about what I am going through dealing with this, and maybe it will help someone else.

I don't want anyone else to go through this.

After I read Bukowski, I saw how he just wrote about trips to the store or to the track or not being able to sleep.
Just what he was going through every day.

I can do that.

Whether it is good technically or not, well, I don't really care.

Honestly, the way I write sometimes reminds me of poetry anyway.

You know, the pauses, the punctuation, the rhythm, where I put the sentences and the spaces....

Just like that.

Just like this.

See, I can't stop.

Ha!


Well, I might take a break for now.

It's kind of addictive though.

My ex wanted me to start writing poetry a while ago.
But I didn't want to force it.
But after reading Bukowski, well, here I am!
I love it.
And I love little these days.

Till next time....
