I'm really pretty proud of this blog, not because it's the latest and greatest thing I've written, but because I've spent a lot of time finessing it to a place where I think the writing is descriptive while dealing with abstract thoughts (I lean heavy on the latter) and to get it to say what I really want it to say. This is 3 rough drafts and 3 line-edit sessions, plus unknown time thinking and turning over my feelings in my head, after the event that began this whole post (my two-hour rejection from a journal which tends to take about 100 days for feedback - hey, did that sound like a slammed door to anyone?)
Because this is probably one of my favorite blog posts I've written all year I am shamelessly tagging some folks. - those who I think would like to read it, have enjoyed my blogs in the past, or who are somehow sideways mentioned. lil kleinbl00 humanodon nowaypablo Complexity thenewgreen
No shame necessary, thanks for the tag. I always read your blogs, but usually lack the intellectual capacity to add anything valuable in terms of comment on them.
As an aside though, I don't know why you're scrapping the potential of those brunch poems. Here's a guide to making use of how awesome they are:
Step 1) compile into a 6-inch by 6-inch book with recyclable ink and hemp paper binding. Big font.
Step 2) submit to UrbanOutfitters
Step 3) preemptively order one(1) marble bathtub
Step 4) profit from book sales
Step 5) deposit profit directly into bathtub
Step 6) literally doggy-paddle through your figuratively poetic success
