Welcome to My Poetry Site
Surviving The Dream
I hate the business of writing
the commerce of word craft
the tedium of publishing
the deadlines imposed
I hate the word count
the editing and proofing
the book signing travel
and agents exposed
I hate the promotion
each workshop and fair
the reviews and the podcasts
the bookstores that sell
But I love the writing
when the words come together
releasing my spirit
-my fortune to tell
(The New Room: January, 2022)

But I love the writing

releasing my spirit
