Unfinished. This is the first poem I've submitted to workshops this semester, and needless to say, it came out from workshop a little worse for wear. The tendency to get lost in abstractions is hard for me to overcome, so I've tried to stick to the concrete imagery as much as possible. My professor said there needs to be more, but I have no idea where to take it. Probably because the only intention of this poem was fulfilling an assignment...

Beautiful, was this the line she really liked?

Who is this blog directed at? What is your intended audience?

That is indeed the line, along with a few others.

This blog isn't really directed at anyone. I just like to see my words on computer screens. Specifically, I like to imagine seeing my words on other's computer screens. OR, it's a way of staying motivated and productive.

Alternate response: yr face.
