sometimes I wonder
if I really do sing well
or if people lie.

instead, perhaps I
should stick to writing lyrics
that voice never fails.

i have made the executive decision that 2008 will be a fantastic year. with so much to look forward to, i’ve finally come up with a concept to resurrect my suffering blog and turn it into something of a more organized and regular thing. (i do this every year, and it never works out… maybe it will this time). A good number of folks do the picture a day for 365 days thing, and i’m set to do my own version of that with poetry. Haiku is like crack for intellectuals , so i feel this is a good geography to unleash a barrage of it upon.

anyway, best to all in 2008 – i look forward to seeing you on the other side of my writing.
