The BLUGH: September 27, 2023
“Done is better than good.”
Hey guys, my writing juices are exhausted. I am taking a poetry class for the next few weeks and had to write my first poem this past week. The task proved almost lethal. The teacher just set us loose and said, “go, write a poem.” Like, she just GAVE us permission to go do that. Wild. I finally pumped my poem out but it was rough getting there. I’d love to share the prompt with you guys:
Write a poem of your own, in which the speaker celebrates her body/ self/spirit, her being alive--whether in isolation, or in relationship to someone else.
Does that do anything for you? Does something come to mind that you would write about? I swear my mind when blank. It’s a great prompt!! A lot to work with. Unless your brain just fizzles out like mine did. But I’m working on it!!

A glimpse into my future
Jason and I went to the AKC Museum of the Dog a couple of weekends ago and I was a little creeped out because they actually had a portrait of me on display. Even weirder was it was a portrait of future me, with my 2 feisty Schipperkes, Bartok and Batso, in my lap. Spooky that some curator from the museum travelled to the future to snag this art piece of me for display in 2023 but I admit, it’s a nice image.
