To free write for X minutes. I wrote for about 5 minutes.
The “Poem”
my uncle said how much
he liked Alice in Wonderland
before he died
“It’s not a kid’s book,”
he said
connected with Alice
he said he wanted to do
cool shit in his life
he died less than
a month later
and I can’t let it go
I want to do
cool shit in my life
with my life
I want to do cool shit
make cool shit
help cool people
and maybe
connect with happiness
along the way
Processing
At first I didn’t know what to write. But that “stuck” idea came forward.
How do you connect with this “poem”? Any feelings come up? Any of your own stories?
Enjoy what you’ve read and want to support my art business?
Buy me a brew!
If we were together, and I read you my poem, you might want to buy me a brew. Coffee at a shop is $5. A beer at a pub is $8. Any amount would be appreciated and well used! And let’s continue the conversation! Share your thoughts in the comments!
