Does a blog need a reason or an aim? I guess it does and that’s why I set up this blog weeks ago with the intention of saying something. Of pouring out words into the colossal void of silence which seems to reign when you live in a City that has been totally shut down. I didn’t know what I had set it up for or what to say or do.
I’ve always wanted to have a website for my poetry but this was meant to be a different place. Where I talked about politics or complained about society but I’m sick of thinking about the fast-moving currents that are sweeping in and which none of us will be able to get away from.
So back to the original idea, a blog for the poetry. I have been writing poetry for years and have been published in a few indifferent places. Mostly journals choose not to accept me, whether because of the quality of the poetry or for other reasons. So this blog will be the place for the rejected brain-children. If anyone is interested, they will read and come back and keep reading. If no one is interested, that’s fine, the wind will keep on howling as it is doing now.
