i so desperately want to write an erasure poem, but can’t for the life of me choose a source…

i’ve had this idea for a dark psychology thriller lurking at the back of my mind for some time now, just collecting dust…using the #JustWriteIt 8CC as a reason to get a solid start on it, even though it is going to involve a lot of research, which is daunting…nonetheless Misery is A Child has just officially been published!

          ‘death cannot harm me
          more than you have harmed me,
          my beloved life.’ — louise glück, 1943-2023.

Thank you for following me. I hope you enjoy the adventure! I am always amazed at poets with their craft--they have such a way with viewing the world and pinning it down with only a few words. Let me know how the Shiver Me Timbers contest goes for you. Best of luck!
