This isn’t a slam, thank God, this isn’t a slam.
My poetry is back, due to popular demand. As soon as I told people I wasn’t really going to write much poetry anymore, they emailed me to tell me that I must keep it up. So thank you everyone, for your support. I love ya’s, I really do! I’ll try to do a little drawing tonight as well..to keep my hand in it, so to speak.
Somehow the next day becomes easier than the last.
And sometimes the next day becomes a little harder.
But mostly there are improvements
Like being able to write more legibly.
To remember a little more
To string words together in a more complex
And deft way.
To make plans, even if they aren’t on paper yet.
Being able to communicate without faltering as much.
To ease back into smiling and joking.
And to cut the grass with the lawn mower.
It was getting to be a jungle out there.

Hey Suze!!
Well, I owe you an email. O.K. I won’t stop writing poetry then. As long as I’m inspired, maybe I’ll think it’s good when I have some distance from it. I may make a book of it. Printed some out the other day. Glad you and others like it.
Thanks..hope you are having a great day too!
