On Sept. 22 2009 - my birthday, I embarked on a project to write a poem a day for 100 days (until December 31) to mark the completion of the decade. Since then I have completed a number of similar projects. My next goal is to reach one thousand poems.

valentine lilies
open up one by one
reveal your pink softness
pointed petals arcing
like a swan dive
your brown anthers
green pistol
attract fliers to pollinate
to find the sweet nectar
vase sits on table
ready
willing
beautiful
unloved
