A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 100

Day 100: “100”

Today I hit a milestone

I’ve been reaching for

100 days of poems

Not consecutively, but that wasn’t my goal

My goal was to not get stuck in the black and white

The 0 to 100

The writing out of obligation

I wanted to write when I felt inspired

When I wanted to

Not because I had to to meet a quota

In that time

Those 100 days

I’m at a place now where I want to try to write daily

Not obligated to

But I want to try new things

I want to write about feelings

And situations

And songs

And movies

And my passions

It’s fun

I feel proud

Brave

Strong

Aligned

Loud

Excited

Cheers to 100 poems

And whatever the future holds

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 61

Day 61: “No Questions Today”

I’m going to try not to ask a question in today’s poem

I realized I do that often

As I’m thinking about what to write

I’m wondering

Questioning

And that wondering leads to something

And that something is a poem

But I want to challenge myself

No questions today!

Just writing

I guess I’m still inspired by questions

Just in a different way

What do you think of this questionless poem?

Dammit!

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 48

Day 48: “Process”

It’s interesting what gets left on the cutting room floor

I try to keep an open mind

Write from the heart

But sometimes

I just need to delete

And rewrite

And try again

I started today’s poem with

“I wish I was a witch

And sisters with Sandra Bullock”

Which I liked, but how do you follow that?

What do you write next?

Then I started a poem about gluttony

And that stopped right when it started for obvious reasons

Now

What’s left?

Something pretty meta

And I’m okay with that
