1. Nothing Like the Sun - a poetry scrapbook + pledge to read all of Shakespeare's sonnets which I have yet to complete
Suspended (because I don't know what to do with it)
1. Short poem collection (forests and tales)
Abandoned
1. From Arachne <-- will maybe compress the idea of this into one poem 2. Project Garden Realms - series of narrative poems 3. Miscreants - a novel (trilogy) 4. Project Vows (poetry worldbuilding / character development project) 5. Guilty Patterns revision -- a long short story 6. Planning and writing a third (?) draft of Through the Amber Forest
* = absolutely sure I want to pick this Going for maybe 5 'big' poems and then 15 as an expansion pack
Other poems I'm thinking about
An Echo, Through Trees <-- might replace this with 'A Moving Through Glass' or some future revision of it called 'Forest School'. And then that could contend for one of the top 5.
Door-stopper Snapdragon [Hate Sink] --> If I put this one in it is possible Screensaviour or the Secretary poem might be an interesting accompaniment? Because of the irony? Maybe not
7. Bus Ride (hard to believe, but this was actually a rewrite of The Cottage from NaPo 2023 - about the same core idea but very different presentation) 8. sunset corridor (revised from the version in NaPo 2022 - I tweaked the form to fit the imagery in tone and atmosphere, changed and cut some words, and also tried to give each part of the scene more space by making the lines further apart... not sure if that works, but maybe...!) 9. Time Passes (revised form of 'Water Sun' from NaPo 2022 - though there is still a whole second half of that poem I might turn into something one day)
Poems Revised 2025
10. Screensaviour Complex (revised form of Screensaviour Syndrome, written in 2018) 11.[some ruins] (revised from the Literary Center version)
