Some Recent (And Not So Recent) Poetic Forms And Projects
Introduction I decided to write a drabble (a story in exactly a hundred words) and then, like I often do, thought what if I turned it into a poem, with a constant line syllable count as a series of consecutive ABAB rhyme quatrains and was shocked how much harder it was than writing a simple story. I also could not use emojis to split the verses because they are counted as words, although I could have used a graphic, but I didn't think of that. Maybe I will find one and add it.

Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Introduction I was listening to Bob Dylan at Budokan, and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" came on, and I thought, that is the way we all eventually disappear, although hopefully we will be remembered, and I also thought that would be a good concept for the Vocal challenge.

Current Writing
Introduction I often write about where I am with my writing and why I am at this place, so this is just another one of those. I write these to hopefully give people ideas and let them know that whatever they are doing is the right thing for them.
