In the spirit of working on blogging and writing more in 2020, and my ultimate goal being to finish my book of poetry, I plan to share some poems I intend on including in said book over the next couple weeks. These poems are those I consider to be as close to “done” as a poem could be, and I encourage any feedback along the way to help my editing process. This particular poem won second place in the Spring 2019 University of Hartford Poetry Competition in the Abrahms Poetry category. It was written in 2012 as part of my Senior Portfolio for SUNY Purchase. I still made edits just now. No poem is ever really done unless you tell it to be.
