Between my (so-so) job, (lovely) relationship, and (burgeoning) other projects, I don't have much time for a social life, let alone a poetry blog. This modern-day crunch is one I'm sure you are all feeling as well. Therefore, I will keep this brief.
Every day in April I draw a card from a shuffled deck. Each card corresponds to a poetry topic. I write and post a poem on that topic here. Most poems will be 140 characters or less (tweet length), but there will some variation in form to my discretion.
If you want some context, past projects can be found here:
