Snapshot 21 April 02004

pear-blossoms-2

night rain
brings this
green day

thick
with mist
wet scents

crows
harvesting
the lawn

pear blossoms
fog
ribboning

mountains
ornamental rain
drops cling

to spring
branches
darkness

again white
blooms glow
in this

quiet night
garden oh
how i miss you

I can smell the flowers in your picture and words. We haven’t had a chance to garden at our new house, so we’re watching yours develop intently.

Wonderful fresh flowers, I potted around a little today, and a student brought a colored bunch of tulips from her garden

Artificial Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. I believe writing is thinking, and I prefer to do my own. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
