I found a site that threw down another gauntlet at me: OctPoWriMo. That is right, a challenge to create one poem a day for the entire month. Who knows how successful I’ll be, but I’m a glutton for punishment, so we’ll see how it goes.  At  Without further ado, here is my first contribution.

words careen across

bare ivory landscapes, their hearts open and

bleeding,

staining yesterday’s path with

ink-hued

remembrance.
