I'm really enjoying writing a poem a day, but I am thinking of them only as drafts, and trying to keep entirely away from any judgment of the quality.

By getting ideas down really quickly, I avoid wasting that energy.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14397387.post-65470863672310417522007-04-13T00:50:00.000-04:002007-04-13T00:50:00.000-04:00Goodness, what a beautiful poem.
