I recently posted a poem on my regular blog and got zero feedback on it. This discouraged me a little until I contemplated the fact that very few people I know are interested in reading poetry. This got me thinking about the chapbook I have sitting on my hard drive that I worked several months on and a total of about three people have read (including me). I have no intention of ever trying to publish any of these poems, and yet I'd like it if somehow more people could interact with them.
The end result of all that thinking was my decision to post the poems from my chapbook and any new poetry that I write in their own separate blog. They can sit here on the internet for all eternity and perhaps someone will stumble across one or two of them and find something they recognize.
I'm going to start by posting the Introduction to my chapbook and then each of its 18 poems in order. Once they're all up, I probably won't update this very regularly. However, if I do happen to write any new poems, they'll go here once I feel they're ready for sharing. If you're reading this, thank you. You're the reason I bother writing at all.
