Of Boredom and Gauntlets

Ugh.

I just erased the few paragraphs I'd written. It seems I don't really have anything to write about tonight.

Before signing off tonight, however, I thought I'd drop a tease about something that's coming up: The first annual "Five Poems a Week" poetry challenge! That's right, shortly after I get back from vacation I'll be posting a least one poem a night, at least five nights a week. There is no end date, and the challenge is to see how long I can do this. They will doubtlessly be awful poems, and I'm sure some will be as short as haikus, if not exactly haikus. (In the case of a day spent writing haikus, however, I will post all of the haikus that I write that day, not saving any for a future post!)

I've always wanted to write poetry but I rarely make myself do so. No more! Mark March 23rd on your calendar!

Until next time.
