It used to be that the more exciting, or rather, eventful, my life became, the more material I found for my poetry. And yet I have experienced the most life changes I could ever have predicted or hoped for in the past year, and haven’t been able to write a thing:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
March 2008
I learn that I’m pregnant. My boyfriend of more than two years proves himself amazing by instantly proclaiming his love and loyalty for both me and my unborn child forever. We begin to build our new life together, and navigate the rough waters ahead (the roughest waters being imparting the news to my parents and his).
May 2008
I graduate from my high school as valedictorian and fulfill my dream of giving the final speech at graduation. It is inarguably one of the happiest and most cherished days of my life.
June 2008
Alex (my boyfriend) and I begin to look for a new home, as it is made obvious living with my parents will no longer due. We find a duplex and make preparations to move in.
June 2008
At the site of our second date and first kiss, Alex proposes to me, and I, of course, say yes. This replaces graduation as the happiest day of my life, and he is no longer my baby-daddy, but fiancé.
June 2008
I have my first sonogram and learn that on November 15 I will be giving birth to a baby girl.
July 2008
The last box is unpacked and we are officially moved into our new place!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, my understatement of the day is this: it’s been a crazy year so far, but I assure you that I never plan to give up on my poetry. Now I have the breathing time, the retrospective time, to look back and perhaps use these monumental events to write poetry again. We’ll see what happens. Glad to be back!

How strange and disturbing
this break in cause -
It’s not out of me yet
But somehow you got inside -
I fear to edit my poetry
to get irreversibly stooped in

Frances Nightengale on July 13, 2007Well, that's practically a compliment, saying I seemed 15 or 16, lol. And another thing we have in common, lol, my birthday's in November, too. Except that mines the 22nd.

Frances Nightengale : Hi on July 12, 2007I just wanted to tell you, that after reading your about me/thing, you sound so much like me. Like strangely alot like me, lol. You said you feel inferior to poets on here, I do too. I even feel rather inferior to you, lol. I had felt very proud of my 101 poems, and you have 405, so now, I'm like 'ok so 101 isn't really that great' lol. But just alot of what you said sounds like me. And I guess it's sort of comforting in a way. Not to sound creepy, tho, lol. Just that, someone else out there is like me, so I don't feel that odd. lol. Anyway, I think I'm gonna go read more of your poems
Cuz since that one I read was soo good, the other ones must be, too. Later! -
BlackWidow43 on May 15, 2007get well soon!!!!
i burned myself today with the iron. i thought about you. and how my tiny burn was probably nothing compared to yours.
hope you're feeling better
