Later today (May 23rd) I will be posting the last two new poems I will write here. (They are done.)
After 40+ years grinding out a few thousand poems, I think I’m done.
I’ll take a break of indeterminate time and then return to this blog, revising and editing older pieces and bringing them up to date. I will likely “repost” those revisions so subscribers will continue to see poems in their feed.
Thanks in advance for sticking around.

I try to stop writing. I have 45 books of journals and I keep reading and writing now for 40 plus years. I hope you keep the site open. Good to rebirth old thoughts and places. Maybe create the masterpiece to be shared.

The site will remain open. I intend to dive deep into revisions and edits and such, perhaps compile works into manuscripts, etc. I’ll repost heavily revised pieces as if they were new works. I’m just done with the generative work — no more new work. That’s the plan. 45 years and several thousand pieces is enough for one lifetime’s raw material.

Life is constant learning. We will never stop. The pen is never content. I need to spend time editing and re-writing also.
