It's with baby steps that I am getting back into it. I do find myself unable to write a lot. Not writers block - that implies that I am sitting there with a blank sheet. This is more an inability to sit down and write. But I did do just that today.
Yknow I never considered poetry before, but I am loving it. The poem in the above post is a joy to read. Oh, and I did enter that NZ Poetry society competition, with four poems and a haiku.
I wanna go where noone knows me
drink a beer I’ve never heard of on the lower east side of Manhattan
put on a record - any record
and dress in drag
Sit on the street and smoke
and purchase a cheap book
Take a picture of a nice building
and be told I am a clever boy
Get all this done before the world explodes
My wants are simple
Yes, the world needs saving, but it won’t help itself
So why should I fight that battle
I want to be where there are people to ignore me
I could cry, and they would not look my way
Some people want to see jungles
others want to meet celebrities
I just want to disappear
and drink a beer in the warm weather.
