napowrimo #3: i didn't know this about myself

i asked
would words be different
if they came from pencils or laptops or typewriters?
so i wrote this poem
three times
in one the sand of our beach was still between my toes
in the other i never wrote what i meant
in the third i measured my poem in meters

what a pity

  2. I love the images here. You say so much with such an economy of words.

  3. Oh I just love this little poem- it packs a wallop! I just had a conversation about how Tweets and FB have really changed how we work. Confined to 140 characters, can we be our big selves?
    Lovely.

  4. I like how this twists and turns in so few lines.
