Endings

      National Poetry Month ends today, and I'd like to close it by sharing this poem. The poet, Deborah Digges, took her own life last year during poetry month. I am not usually attracted to dark poetry, but this one speaks to me. Tell me what it says to you.

Tired Writer, Bad Writer

     It has been an exhausting week, and yes I know it is only Thursday. My kids are home from school this week, a relatively unhealthy drama is being auditioned for me (I'm not an actress), and Jazzmouth: The Seacoast Poetry and Jazz Festival was inspiring but tiring as always. It was great fun to watch former US Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky doing the white guy boogie to our local jazz band. I have written quite a few new poems over the last week, certainly more than usual. One I actually like a lot. Submitted my column due out next week. Finished three short papers for my writing workshop last night. Got a few other submissions lined up but not out yet. But still have a lot of writing to do so ~ am going to get back to work now.
     But first I thought this looked very interesting and would like to see the whole thing. If anyone knows how I can please let me know.
