A Prayer Like Gravity

You hit it.

My home page.

Hopefully you didn't bellyflop.

Or end up like that poor fellow up there in the header image...

I try to take great photographs.

I subscribe to the "Blind Squirrel" school of photography.

Every once in a while, I find a nut.

(Thank the gods for digital.)

I am serious about poetry.

I am not always serious about poems.

I sometimes write poems that are not serious.

I am willing to wait years for a serious poem to finish itself.



~~~



I strive to write great poetry.

Otherwise, why write poetry? 

Every once in a while, I like to think that I come close to achieving something 
vaguely resembling that goal.

If I'm trying hard enough to not try.

I try not to take myself too seriously.

Sometimes I fail.  

Meh.


~~~



And sometimes I post trash on this blog because sometimes my best material 
just isn't very good and sometimes producing trash is better than not 
producing anything.

Sometimes.
