This was a project I did basically during the pandemic. I started writing a poem a day. Once ‘real life’ started again it got harder to write everyday, which is interesting.

I have started to edit some of these mostly the kids poetry. I think there might be enough here for a book. We shall see.

I make no claim that much of this is “good” poetry. But I do make the claim that I loved doing it and I learned something and some of it makes me cry.

hear the thud
ain’t no dud!

to your own soul?

I tried to wake up at seven
But was in bed until after eleven!!

Sometimes right after the trying
You are left feeling like crying
But you have to keep on a-going
Because doing is not about knowing
