I eat my bad poetry like a goat, and
eat my good poetry like a gourmand.
writing
Spring’s sure well-done over, at 100°
Poetic words flow out much better in pleasant climes
Springtime and autumn, more friendly for rhymes
Winter’s good too, the self reflects well in cold times
But blazing summer melts words and numbs minds
Insomnia ink
3 a.m. ink is pure and unfiltered,
specks of truth glimmer in candlelight
S.W.A.K.
Love letter: an inky heartprint.
Aglow
A writer’s aura is the color of ink.
Writing styles
After all these years I’ve finally pegged my writing style — simple, soulful, silly.
On the days I’ve had too much coffee, my writing style turns to overcaffeinated spiritual warrior.
At age 45 — after thirty-four years of writing — I feel that I’m finally about to break free from my juvenilia phase. In a few more years.
But the morning sun could make no sense of them
Blazing starshine ink bled from her midnight pen and left glittering trails of angel words.
Fugue
The ghost traipsed over the typewriter keys and left wordprints in black ribbon.

Other than actually putting pen to paper, I can’t think of another more important duty of the writer than to stare wistfully out a window.
