Poetics: last spring

It is important what music I am listening to, at times rhyming with it instead of what I write. 

Finding more trouble in developing a theme around a poet, poem, or collection of either.

I hope you write poetic statements on the side at least have some half written big statements.

Constraints can be used to collect more concentrated flux in the instance of tying together intense moments of being. 

Cut grass season a few days at the lake at the very least. 

Bringing things together takes time. Gaining elevation every day. 

Two months ago a person was not happy that I didn't care if no one gets my poem, or what did I say, feeling defensive at the time, I don’t write to be easily understood, or something else, more an emotional uprising than a well articulated thought. Are you content with your own writing without any awwed audiences following along the whole way? What we really need is a poet we look up to to call once in a while and compliment our work.
