headline poetry: November 2008

headline poetry

This blog began as an excursion to reintroduce myself to both “the news,“ which I abandoned nearly 2 years ago, and with creative writing, unvisited for over 10 years. The experiment returned me to writing, and convinced me to remain inattendant to the distractions of “the news”. Now my poems don’t refer to the reported doings of the world, but rather, to my own life’s headlines, the news worthy stuff in my direct, personal and unmediated world. See 9/11/06 for more.

hands of lines of

Crumbs and cobwebs
my dog has fleas
furry mane to catch things

Big as a house in my pocket
creaks the cracks running
Deaths and loves
that never catch up
