Go ahead, be particular

I like writing that moves: moves from the abstract to the concrete, moves from showing to telling, moves from the general to the particular. Sometimes this movement goes in one direction, sometimes the other, and sometimes back and forth. But move it must. Move, move, move! Go, man go! . . .

Found - Ripped from the Headlines

Found poetry, stories and art can be discovered any where. A daily walk can be a creative opportunity if you look around you.

Try this: Look at signs, billboards and ads that are all around you. Write down a few of the phrases that appeal to you and try to arrange them into a poem. I wrote this reading the headlines and ads on the subway

A police spokesperson said,
"We're on it,
under it,
inside it,
through it,
above it,
across it."
