Carolee Bennett –> poet. artist. crankypants.
few poetic devices thrill me as much as powerful line breaks. i try to use them in my own poems to give the reader something other than what’s expected or to give dual meaning, and when i find them in other poets’ poems, it always delights me.
i will no longer be allowing comments on my posts here at wordpress. i know that’s not very social of me, but someone has created a fake persona that allows him/her to use the commenting mechanism here to harass me, essentially, anonymously.
how very different it is to be making something new instead of dismantling everything i’ve ever known. that’s going to be an adventure, for sure. it used to terrify me to think of what it takes to grow and change because i’ve had some pretty awful things interject themselves in my life. but when you think about friends and blessings and desire and warmth, you can see how these things change you, as well.
