Excel Poems

Good news, Bloggers: I've been writing (just not on here). I think as a way of avoiding fiction, I have been writing poems, which is strange as I would much rather be writing fiction. I've also been doing weird things like writing poems in Excel and in the shower.

Now, I'll admit 65% of what I say is made up or exaggerated for the sake of humor. But when I say I don't really get poems, I am speaking from squarely within the other 34% (1% of what I say is neither true nor false). I've decided that just because I can't understand poems, even ones written by me, doesn't mean I shouldn't write them. Also, since I can't tell whether my poems are any good, I've decided to start sending them to people and saying "Hey, you wanna publish this?" So I bought a copy of P&W and highlighted (though I prefer "highlit," I don't think it's correct) places to send them.

I'm such an accomplished poet. (Please don't tell anyone that this secretly isn't true.)
