Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my daily poetry blog. The following poems are improvised based on my day, general reflections, or by just allowing my mind to cruise in neutral without a filter. I have been working on this for something around two years now and have amassed a lot of words. You can either go through them page by page, or check out the "Hall of Better Poems" option in the right column. Please feel free to comment on what you like or dislike, and also subscribe below if you like this sort of thing. Thanks!

(typically I will write down my ideas on paper throughout the day and I may not get in front of a computer to transfer it. So I then dump a few days worth of poems at once.)

My Own Boss

I am staring at the business end of an entire day.
Blinking in the sudden sunlight.
Drinking in the bewilderment.
Where did the darkness go?
An early meeting perhaps?
There is no external motivation.
There is little in the way of provocation.
Can I keep this up until I die?
I must decide the fate of me and mine.
I trust my ideas and the simulations agree.
The mind is willing.
The body is slow and distractible.
I am the only one that can steer this vessel.
I am the only one that can clean up this mess.
I am the one who made it.
