MESH! Okay, I still am really loving the sticky-note poems! They remind me of like more organic note-app poems, and I love the aesthetic and your pretty pen colors too!

"sometimes I would rather race the dawn / just to see the sunrise"

Ahhh beautiful!! And I see a lot of ways that could be interpreted - maybe about skipping steps / life-stages to get to what we feel is the sunrise - and the desire for what we're waiting for to arrive, even if we have to run towards it. (also love how this plays with your poem #16 & #17)

#12 - love this observation about breathing! because it is so very true that we forget the effort behind wind-instruments because it "sounds" effortless!

#21 - AHH this is another beautiful observation (and see! what did I tell you about needing more music poetry?!) I very much feel this though - our church organist is GREAT at technical like keeping up with a metronome evenly, but sometimes accompanying the choir is a challenge because she doesn't always hit the "listening" part very well - and you're right that is one of those kind of key elements between "playing" and "creating music".

#24 love this one - short sweet punchy, and YES.

#25 </3!

You're ahead of schedule it looks like! Have loved reading along! <333

you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

Here's yesterday's and today's! I think this is technically 30? But I still plan to write through the end of the month.

I think this is three separate things? But I haven't quite decided yet.

Who has two thumbs and forgot to post yesterday? Me! And I had to type it up from my notebook, because uh. It went really messy. So. That wasn't happening at 10 last night so you get it today after work.

I tell the neophyte: Write a million words–the absolute best you can write, then throw it all away and bravely turn your back on what you have written. At that point, you’re ready to begin.
