Dammit. Every time I commit to a writing prompt, I’m left to write a poem–something I’m not terribly good at, but an internal promise is a promise. Let me explain. Sometimes when I’ve been staring at a cursor for well over an hour-and-a-half, I decide to go search for a writing prompt. Today is one… Continue reading A Poem Made From A Letter
