1. A motionless beech
2. The window pane
3. The point at the back of my head
where tingles start and end
4. Nap dog
5. Eight listeners and their smiles

Gosh Roman! Your dedication to write constantly is an inspiration! I enjoy this list — somehow lists are calming. (8 listeners=nice!). I enjoy the verticalness of your poems, which allows the reader to focus on and savor each line and hear the beats of the syllables. I like knowing about your wrenching free of big business/”the Man'” in order to be free in a world of poetry and bicycling. YES! Thanks for al this. Now — I must stop slacking and write more! Have fun. (I’m already looking forward to next year’s WFOP conference!)

Thank you, Tad! I’m looking forward to next year as well : ). What are you writing lately?
;). You are writing so much, Roman! Very inspiring, as I’ve been hiding from writing. Biking and weeding more instead! But I dabble with some poems, and am attracted to my novel again. I think I know what I need to do to flesh it out and make it final. A few in my writers’ group are publishing their books on Amazon, so, professionally jealous as I am, I better get going! I still prefer the ease and savory nature of poetry though — where every word truly resonates. Are you doing any readings? -tad

Biking and weeding are intensely creative acts! And every novel could use more poems inside : ). I don’t have any readings coming up, it’s one of the pans getting scorched on the backburner.
