i am going to san francisco, back to san francisco, to try to find roots - can i do it?  is anything ever the same as it was when you left?  i am leaving with my backpacks, and hope and fear for the future.  if i am scared, it is because i made the decision in a day, and made this crazy life even more.  more?  expansive. i will be submitting work to be published.  therefore, i might be taking down most, if not all of my work, if it is deemed that it can not be previously published.  so goodbye, significant part of deviantart, part of my love, part of where i first ventured my small possibilities.  i don't know, but i do, that i must write, m

outside.  for the summer, to live in a tent, in the highlands of colorado.  to get out of my stifling housing situation and expand.  live large by living small.  that has been a goal for a long time. i know i do not get a lot of visitors here; i do not claim to want many - i am not for all.  for those that do read, i will still be writing, but computer access will be limited so most of my writing will be the old-fashioned way, and slow in coming.  i will submit eventually.  thank you. good luck, and good night. project for the summer - when the children grow: a book of perception

there are three types of poetry writing, as far as i can see: inspired:  flows from somewhere and the poet is a conduit.  almost the entire piece is written at once, in a short period of time relative to its length, and merely needs to be cleaned up and edited later. patchwork:  a poem sewn together from inspirational scraps.  a postit-note poem, comes from those momentary random flashes, conversation, recollections.  when stitched together properly over a period of time, can form connections (metaphor) between the most distinct of ideas.  editing is peticularly important. constructed:  a poem planned, words pondered upon, agonized over.
