I told myself I’d write a poem a day.
I found that each attempt inspired more.
I wrote – that triggered words I had to say.
Now editing’s become my favorite chore.

I found that each attempt inspired more,
and let myself express another way
(so 49 is titled 54).

I wrote – that triggered words I had to say,
responding or developing before
I finalized and put the work away.

Now editing’s become my favorite chore
but I can’t see next Monday’s yesterday,
so please excuse if current news is poor.
