where did my last post go? oh well

Talking to myself

I had abandoned this site. But I think I need a spot to talk to myself. If anyone of you guys is still checking in on me Hi. I haven't written a word in almost 2 years now. It is a deathtrap. Write or forget how. So I am just going to use this place as my own little thinking out loud spot. See if I can get motivated again.

Usually my poetry comes from somewhere. Something I see or hear or read. In the past 2 years I have felt overwhelmed. Busy with work in a new creative way that just about sucks all the originality out of me.......worried to death over J and his illness......dumstruck by the destructive force of Rita and the mess it made of our lives. Along the way I have sat down...typed a couple of lines, frowned and hit DELETE. Nothing has sounded right to my ear or my heart.

Well, anyway. I am going to try to put a little something in here each day. An observation, a joke, whatever...try to jumpstart my brain.

Troubles on Homefront

Ivan the Terrible..part 2

It seems Ivan made his distructive way through Alabama....began his decline as a tropical storm ..and now has turned around and is heading back at us. they ae predicting a tropical storm landfall around Galveston early tomorrow. Right around the time we are supposed to fly out of Houston for Hawaii.......could make for flight delays at very least. How is this even possible? What are they making hurricanes out of these days?

Hawaii

Will be leaving Friday for a short 5 days in the islands. Looking forward to sandy beaches. Can't get Paula's Sand Woman poem out of my head. Really inspired. Can't figure out where my language has gone. Maybe inspiring scerery will help.

first blogging

Home after a week in New Orleans with very creative people that I love. Thinking about "real life" as Shi calls it. This morning when we talked about our lives as objects that could be picked up, turned at different angles and veiwed in various light. After a week in the big easy, things here definately look different....can't say better or worse. Thanks for the clue about "weblog".
