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.

Day 52 - Back to Sugarland

I really should leave for school now. But too bad.
Also, I have added the NEWSUPERAWESOMEALBUM to my Sugarland poems playlist, so I will be doing those too.

Settlin`
No is not acceptable.
No makes me forgettable.

Yes is the better word.
Yes is what passion has heard.

I could settle and be happy but bored
Or I could walk on my dreams, a highwire cord.

I will not back down from potential mistakes
I will swallow my failures with utter grace

That any life will not be drained is a lie
But I refuse to be until I die.
