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.

life force
grip
pull
snap
dead branches
drily break off trees
in backyard
no sap binds
unaccountably
living twigs sometimes grow
on these skeletal raven perches
grasp these leafy lives
and hold on
tight strands resisting removal
