Embedded Files
I did’t realize until about 2023 that I hadn’t touched a line of poetry since about 2010 or 2011. So, when a good friend called me out on putting writing off while pulling me back into the rooms with other poems, I found myself making up for lost time.
Poetry might look easy, but it needs momentum. Through prompt marathons like Escapril and finding community inside of workshops like those held by the folks @poetry.orchard, I got back into the rhythm of just loving wordplay.
This page is here to remind me how far I’ve come and how much I’ve written since.
