With Some Degree of Lazy Hiatis I'm Back...

Submitted work today after a bit of a pause.  I've still been writing, but I did take a break from The Grind for November. Mostly because I have been working the 9-5 slave of late, new semester in school, and having an over abundance of migraine headaches.  

Reading has not helped, the headaches I mean. I am one away from my annual goal of books read and I will update those titles at the end of the year. The big change this year has been more non-poetry titles.  Even though my favorite reads are still poetry, memoir, and biography.  Go figure. 

We've lost too many significant people this year. Poets Louise Gluck, Charles Simic, Milan Kundera. Matthew Perry from friends was a really hard one. David Crosby, Tony Bennett, Tina Turner, Harry Belafonte, Suzanne Summers, Diane Feinstein Daniel Ellsberg, Bert Bacharach, Raquel Welch, Cindy Williams, and Lisa Marie Presley, Sir Michael Gambon, Brooks Robinson, Vida Blue, Gordon Lightfoot, Wayne Shorter, Traute Lafrenz, and Bobby Hull.  Poets, politicians, baseball stars, actors, actresses, musicians, individuals who stood out  in times great human strife.  I'm sure nor all, and we've got till the end of the year, yet.  Perhaps the good Lord above will spare us more losses. 

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The only journey is the one within.
