writing

I'm going to start using this as a platform for my writing. Here are two versions of a poem I wrote, one strictly imagist and the other I deviate from the imagist values.

brown, used coffee grounds
cover the surface of a blue and green trash bin
morning mist
sticks to the man in gray
drinking from a mug


or



Brown, used coffee grounds
are piled up to the edge of the rim
on our blue and green trash bin.
Hazy morning mist sticks to the man
wearing the gray flannel suit
standing on the corner
drinking from a mug
alone.
