1. MF draft 2. Revising my poems on here - goal: 30 3. Planning and writing a third (?) draft of Through the Amber Forest 4. Maintaining poetry blog 5. Posting 50 poems across blog and YWS 6. Liminal Experiments
Suspended
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. Guilty Patterns revision -- a long short story
* = 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)
Remember when dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth and your mom was your hero? Race issues were about who ran the fastest, war was only a car game. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and good byes only meant tomorrow?
And we couldn't wait to grow up. — Unknown
