My Year of Writing Dangerously

On the spur of one of my (increasingly rare) moments of inspiration, I decided that in order to maintain my artistic integrity, and because I can't keep calling myself a writer for much longer without actually WRITING something, I am going to write a poem a day for the next year. The first poem will be posted on August 10, 2010 and the last poem will be posted on August 10, 2011. (Unless, of course, I decide to keep going.) Not all of the poems will be good, and DEFINITELY not all of them will be interesting, but I will gaze around my kitchen, my living room, and Coming Home Cafe until something inspires me, then write a poem about it, as well as my random thoughts on the mundane things that no one notices, but which it is my goal to immortalize over the course of this year.

Guest Poet - Michelle Chevalier

These poems were N.O.T written by me. They were written by a friend of mine: Michelle Chevalier. And she's sort of incredibly talented, so please enjoy.

LOVE

Heart Hurts

Two Cold Hands

Squeeze



A Credit Card

not to be used

In Deep Freeze



And Still

I Claw

Impatiently

Fingers Bleed



An Endless

Unfulfilled

Need



STRANGERS
Signed Permission

Children Conditioned

To Fear THEM


A Smile Offered on a Tray

They'll stare blankly Away

It's best to Avoid THEM

Everywhere you Go

Careful - Someone Follows

Never Trust THEM


People are Unknown

Dangerous, Misunderstood - Clones.

Why is it a Wonder we feel so Alone?

WE ARE THEM...
