The Poet Reading



Istiqlal (Majesty), 18 Sharaf (Honor), 164 B.E. - Wednesday, January 16, 2008 about 8:42 PM PST



This is a photo of me at a poetry reading several years ago. I enjoy going to poetry reading. I haven't been to one in several months. The poem I'm reading is one I wrote and submitted to a 9/11 anthology. The reading was to raise money for children who lost one or both parents in the Twin Towers.

I'm working on a poem title The Poet Reading. This is the inspiration for the poem. My problem right now is deciding whether to use a poetry form or just start writing and see where that leads. Since I'm having a bit of a problem writing the poem, I think I'll use a form. Using a form helps me focus on the theme, subject and the words.
