they need space to
move around in.
they don’t fit into little
petty places. these hips

they do what they want to do.
these hips are mighty hips.
these hips are magic hips.

Saw this on Cam’s blog so now I’m stealing it. I haven’t done one of these in ages.

I did this on my other blog and it was horrifically boring, I’m hoping it will be better here. From Nickie’s Nook via Denise.
January: After university I didn’t have access to a library and my bank account couldn’t quite afford to keep up with how fast I read. (2005 in review)
February: This book was [...]

Lesley tagged me for this a couple of days ago but I haven’t had time until now.
What’s the first poem you remember reading/hearing/reacting to?

I’ve been sitting on it all week thinking that maybe I’d remember something. But I DON’T. I don’t remember a darned thing. I only barely remember not being able to read. I think [...]

Meant to do this yesterday but I forgot…
