Had a great time in the workshop at Poets House. Participants on all levels came together for a wonderful weekend of writing and sharing.

And the view wasn't bad either.

The Poet Outlaw

The short long story is that my 9:05 PM departure time turned into a 2 hour delay. Bus didn't leave Ohio until 11 PM. Add an additional 2 hour delay in the Pittsburgh layover + numerous traffic delays + passenger pickups and drop offs in out of the way places = a New York City arrival time of 8 PM 🙀🙀😭😭

When I finally got to my cousin's house it was 9:05 PM, exactly 24 hours from my original departure time. WHEW! What a day!

PROMPT FOR THE DAY: Watch the cloud formations overhead for the next few days, then write a poem describing the various shapes you saw.

My poem hunting Expedition #2 started out on the wrong foot. To make a long story short: UNFORSEEN delays at Greyhound has The Poet Outlaw behind schedule.

Expected arrival time in New York City has gone from 11:40 am to 6 pm 😱😱. 

Will fiill you in later. Meanwhile: Finally leaving Pittsburgh

Today's prompt: Write a poem describing what to do when there's nothing you can do.

PROMPT 18 - THE EFFORT

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

1 IS THE LONE NUMBER

i am the

lone wolf 

running with the pack

sometimes

running away

refusing to conform

doing whatever it takes to

keep them safe

not always playing

nice being wild

unpredictable always

on the prowl always

looking for new

prey
