Living the Fictional Dream

My poem, “Inspiration,” is the poem of the day over at Every Day Poets. 

I wrote this poem back in grad school, so it’s nice to finally get it out there in the world.  I’m typically too prose bound to write good poetry. When I try to tell a story in a poem, the language becomes too plain. When I wrote this poem, and a couple of others around the same period, I was experimenting with language over meaning/plot and portraying an image with lush, deep words.

So, if you have a chance, go over there, give it a read, and comment and/or vote on it while you’re there. Or let me know by a comment here if you enjoy it.
