10:10

I recently finished the 10 day-10 poem forum at Inside the Writer's Studio, but started again 5 days back. I like the format. Sure you'll be pressed but it's not as bad as the 30-day forum. There's space to breathe if a poem comes up you need time with. I also like ITWS because it's a closed board. It's easy to join but you can't just flip through posts if you aren't a member. It's good doing 10:10 again now, also because Michi and Liz are in.

I'm having a really shitty day, and my eyes hurt, but I managed to write a few lines anyway, and that's the point. In fact, coming home I was looking forward to writing, but then found a guy in my bedroom fixing my windows for 350 euros. Carlo had already agreed on the price and repairs, so I was a bit shocked. So writing didn't turn out to be pleasant, with me in a crap mood and a guy in my bedroom. Anyway, here are the 5 poems I've done so far.
5. 1978: And my heart burns in my wrists / burns berserck....
4. Jellyfish: There are rooms underwater / we can't imagine, pellucid rooms...
3. Out of the Nowhere of Afternoon: Noon comes on blue to end the morning...
2. Maestro: The beggar who dregs / the tony avenue ...
1. The Woman who Hates the Word Moist: Because mosquitos skim...

Sarah, I hope your day gets better - I like taking hot baths when I'm in a "mood".

I'm glad to see members happy with ITWS. =)

10:10 sounds much more reasonable. That jellyfish photo is gorgeous!

THanks, Rachel. My mood was huge.

Valerie - I'd be thrilled to recommend you at ITWS if you aren't a member. I'm sure you'd walk away with a poem or two from 10:10.

cheers
