Note to Self 1: Poetry should happen as easy as a talk. Talk to self. One of those easy discourses that happens within and leaves you wiser ... If it's requiring more effort , the poem is not happening. Give up. Read. Come back. Try again.
Note to Self 2: Should I market my poems? Marketing is easy, poems are not. If the marketing gets tough (I mean if it gets desperate) the poem didn't happen. Poems don't happen everyday. They don't.
Note to Self 3: Be a patient reader. If you don't have the patience to read a poem - maybe you have lost the patience to write one. If you are still writing - maybe it's not happening.
Having said this -
My reading list for today:
1. Million Man March Poem - Maya Angelou
2.Don't go gentle into that good night - Dylan Thomas
3. The opening of the trunk - Jim Morrison
