I should be doing the cleaning - unashamed self-promotion

-
Dear lovely all,

Just a quick one (so many other things to share, but I need to somehow clean the house and myself in the next 15-20 minutes before heading to Keats House Museum for an afternoon of poetry near the Heath).

I just started an online portfolio to better present some of my photos - I have Flickr but that's a bit all over the place.  So I started a gallery on photoshop.com.  You can check it out right here:


I'd really love if you can give me feedback on it, with your critical hat on.  Things like are there too many photos in each album, should I arrange it differently (e.g. have pictures grouped by type/content such as live/music/landscapes/portraits etc instead of by when they were taken), quality of photos chosen etc etc etc.  I promise to not be crushed by any advice you have to offer that will make it better. So yes - there you go. Check it out. Tell your friends.  And let me know what you think.

day/poem 13

(just had a bit of a cinderella moment. went to an amazing poetry night, Poetree at the BBC, and realised as it ended that it was already ten past eleven, and i still needed to write today's poem.  which made for some odd non-sequitur goodbyes 'sorry, i've got to go, i need to write a poem before midnight'...weirdo! so i did it on the bus. it is an example of why i hardly ever even attempt to rhyme...) -- after fool's -- out of time and chasing rhyme and searching for a piece that aches to be sublime attemptng genius, attempting smart looking for some lines that justify the term 'art' as i scribble, pen scratch graze ink onto the page writing as a fool aspiring to be a sage never for a wage, rarely for the stage fingers fumbling, poem rumbling, tumbling from my my mind cage but the padlock's got stuck so all my lines suck and the rhyming scheme i've started's run completely amuck but i don't give a hoot about the lines i unroot only care a...

 “National Poetry Writing Month (also known as NaPoWriMo) is a creative writing project held annually in April in which participants attempt to write a poem each day for one month.” (Wikipedia) So... I realised recently that January was the last time I actually finished a poem. January!  That's over two months ago!  Since then, I've started stuff, scribblings in various note-books, but never finished, as I tell myself 'I don't quite have time yet', or 'I need the right space' etc etc ad nauseum.  And all along, the truth is actually more that I'm just terrified of just allowing for the messiness of producing stuff that’s just not as good as I think it could be, and so, just ending up not bothering at all (there’s a lot of ‘just’ in that sentence…).  I wouldn’t call myself a perfectionist, exactly,  but I’ve grown up with constant repetitions of ‘what’s worth doing at all is worth doing well’ (resounding in my head, nearly always in the deep and mellow...
