Poem-a-Day #5

[I remind myself that the goal is not to write, every day, a masterful, moving, original poem; a suggestion, a hint of a poem, is enough.]

Edges

There will be no edges, but curves.
"Sci-Fi" by Tracy K Smith

there are no edges
our eyes are not engineered
to see the embrace of molecules
that everything is just
one thing

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.
