My goal is to complete 30 poems! And hopefully maintain good quality throughout.
Roadblocks that I see is the potential business of this month! Half of my friends and families seem to be Aries/Taurses and so there are a lot of birthdays, a lot of work events, and a lot of late night things I'll be involved in but hopefully getting up early everyday in the morning and getting my poem in will help me overcome that

Poems
Among Women by MARIE PONSOTWhat women wander?
Not many. All. A few.
Most would, now & then,
& no wonder.
Käthe Kollwitz by Muriel Rukeyser1
Held between wars
my lifetime
among wars, the big hands of the world of death
my lifetime
listens to yours.
The Couple by Mark Rudman1
The woman stands on tiptoe to kiss the man and for a moment,
with their twin-teal backpacks, parkas, and other gear—
they look like one new creature. A mutation.
The Sanitarium Window by Leland JamesA small stand of trees, unremarkable.
I don't know their names.
They're like a knot of folks waiting
for a train, or for a store to open
—a gathering, that's all. They don't
seem to know each other. They didn't
plan to be together there in a field of weeds.
Avocado Lake by Gary SotoA body moves under the dark lake-
The throat is a tube of water, the hands
Are those of a child reaching for his mother.
It may be hours before the body rises
To the surface. -

With a spouse, parent, employer, teacher relationship - everything is defined. There are rules. There is paperwork. Syllabuses. But a friend - that is the only relationship we have which is unrestrained! And perhaps it is this quality that keeps it free

Am I really just the collection of ideas and impressions that others have of me?
