Five Reasons I Have Not Posted:
We moved from Harlem to the People's Republic of Brooklyn. We didn't just move, we bought property. It’s a three family brick in Bedford-Stuyvesant. I can sing all the songs from Rent and no one will hear me. I am a homeowner.
I have been writing poetry. I have been learning poetic forms. I know what a villanelle is. I have written a sonnet. I have read and met Quincy Troupe. I belong to a community of writers. We will be reading at Poets House this Wednesday. I am a Poet.
I have a new job. I will start in July. I will work for the city. I am a poet who owns a home and must meet mortgage.
We'll I actually don't have five reasons; it just sounded good as a working title. I have to get back to the poetry.
Life is good. I have other reasons life is good that are just too personal for this blog.
