| ~John Updike, "Mirror," Telephone Poles and Other Poems I Have completed 14 poems as of yesterday. I was thinking about finding a little tracking bar to put on my blog- but I haven't decided yet. So I'm going strong with my writing goals. I saw the poem up top and new I had to share it with you. I think its lovely and worth some thought. I'm swamped this week in homework again- I have a 10-25 page story rough draft due for my nonfiction class, and in my other two classes I have some reading and close reading papers due as well. I'm also now officially a slush pile reader at EDF online magazine, It is Volunteer work- which goes great for my school grants, but it will take some of my time away. Have a great day everyone. | ||

Your poem came across in the reader like funny, distracting gibberish :) But I like the poem. Sending fairy power to handle it all :D

14 poems!? I'm impressed! I'm feeling overwhelmed with homework too! I have 4 books that I am supposed to have read by the end of the week for my English class. I'm going to need glasses for all that reading! =)
I have no idea how you have anytime to blog with your schedule and kids too. Sending glitter your way to make it easier. No vampires attached. LOL

A chapbook is a wonderful idea. You're half-way there already.
Congrats on the 14 poems. The Mirror is a very cool poem. It took me a minute to get it, I like what he did.
