Nasally

I think this state has something against me.  I’ve experienced the worst allergies since living here and I’m currently miserable with them.  Rag-weed. Pollen. Grass. The Devil’s Bush. Stone Wash. Milk Bone. Laced Ivy.  Just kidding.  I made most of that shit up.

I happened across a blog the other day that took note of two poems I read for Linebreak.  She said they were “well-read”, but in one of the poems I lost steam at the last line.  An interesting thing that is – having someone critique your reading skills.  I’ve never read in front of an audience, my only experience with reading poems to/for the public has been for Linebreak.  I hate the sound of my own my voice, but I do love reading for them.

Dear Joe Lieberman: suck it.

I’m half way through writing one poem.  The first in months.

Pass the tissues.
