On the poems on this blog and on Twitter -

They are my commercial breaks in between travel articles.

Think of them like the commercials from the Superbowl - adored and looked forward to (by me)almost as much as the main event (although hopefully they dont start to suck halfway through the game).

I LOVE poetry.

I love the way it makes me feel. I love the way the words flow from the page like a dance that I need to see from different angles to understand. I love how one sentence can mean a thousand different simple things, or just one clearly intended thought.

Poetry is not as simple as an article. A poem is far shorter but takes just as much time to consider as an article. It is not for everyone. I totally get that.

My one request is that you pick one and try it out. Take it line by line, give it five or ten minutes. Read, re-read, let it sit, let it settle, let it sink in.

After that, if it's not for you, f*ck it, another article will come shortly. I'll try to I.D. the poems until I figure out how to separate them into another area. Do with them what you will.


Cheers!~
