Poetry / Automatic Writing Challenge! (Patreon)

Guys - this is an extremely tough time for all of us. I have not been coping with it well, to be honest. But let's not talk about that.

I was thinking: maybe we can ALL do something connected. Every day. Maybe we can all write poetry - 1 piece per day or more. Whatever style you want. Long or short. Doesn't matter.

Get the thoughts out of our heads and onto paper. Doesn't matter if the poem sucks.

I wrote this one right now and maybe in a few days I'll be embarrassed and think it sucks but I don't care right now.

I am going to take this step for my mental health. I set an alarm to do this EVERY DAY.
Writing a song feels like such a gigantic cerebral commitment right now and my brain does not have the capacity to do that at this time. The vibe is fucked up. But that vibe could be okay for poetry and poetry can eventually become a song.

So I say, let's write poetry. Or paint. Stream of consciousness. No judgment here.

If you want to share your pieces with me and the rest of us here in the Fan Club - I would genuinely love that. Please do share them in the Community if you are comfortable with that.

Maybe today's poem will become a song, or maybe it will nothing but a used page in this book. All I know is reality is not the place for me right now so I want to exit and go to a place of creativity instead.

Love you all. I really do.
