I started the new year with the best of intentions: I was going to do and complete #52Poetry. I was going to read 52 books of poetry and I was going to write about it all.
After week four came and went…after I subscribed Netflix…after Mad Men, Portlandia, Arrested Development…after SGRho…after I decided I wanted to create stuff instead of read stuff…well, you get it.
I honestly don’t even know what week it is! I checked out Lucille Clifton’s entire collection, most of which are now overdue.
The year is not over and I can still reach my goal. I am just behind now…way behind.
But here’s what I have been doing instead of reading and writing! the sisters jones collective.
I made some upcycled brooches:

I also participated in the @nypl poetry contest. This happened, too. I wasn’t too excited, then I was *shrug*and “it’s okay.”:

So, while I haven’t being doing #52Poetry that well so far, I am doing other stuff.
