Oh this writing--the poem-a-day-writing itself-- yes(!) but you are so masterful at capturing the unknowingness and wonder of what you (we) walk through (the days) into a sort of glimpse into the known. And I feel like the first paragraph is a model for artists who express/disguise guilt for not being in their social realms with some form of excuse but you express something more honest down throughout this piece and open the space itself as though it is the stranger to get known/you have yet to know---its all poetry to me. Beautiful. Can live in your pocket?
A while back, you wrote about being a starter, and have often alluded to not necessarily being tied to the finishing. I hear you!
I start writings in my head. Often multiple times a day, and sometimes the same, or edited versions of one writing, continue along for a couple of days. But I very rarely write them into being.
These short but twinkly poems of yours are inspiring me to *maybe* start writing on paper, in one of the many books I’ve made in which to start a something... *maybe*
Pink potatoes -- my favorite! I love this idea, am just now becoming comfortable with challenging myself to do something daily. Definitely going to try this, although not sure I have a pal to mail with but I’m sure they’d work in any old journal
I am catching up with the posts that I missed because of immigration chaos. This one was posted a week before we were about to leave Turkey and go to Spain. It was such a hard time. Very good for poems probably. I just wrote my first poem, Margaux. Thank you for talking to me about it ❤️

Oh my goodness yes! Come live in my pocket!
🤣 and thank you Deb.

I LOVE this project Margaux
Yes, yes! Write on paper! Thank you Samm, I do too!
Your "one of a kind" uniqueness shines bright within "Sometimes". So clever. Thank you for sharing Margaux.
Thank you for reading so closely and for your thoughts!
Hi Margaux! Love to read your poems and that bowl of potatoes is such a delight 🥔
Thank you Carolyn! The potatoes were a treat. How to match the magic with my bowl of figs and bowl of tomatoes?!
Very inspiring! This has made me want to start writing poems again - and maybe putting them in the post too!
Thank you and YES! It has been a most inspiring and ongoing project with sometimes very little effort for the magic that results!
Here for pink potatoes!
Ha! Kaly - does this mean i'm losing you after this one?!
Always devour your words and enjoy peaking into your world and look forward to more …
Thank you Claire! You are kind and spirit lifting in writing this!
