We Write Poems: boxes (notes)

Today is the one-year anniversary of this blog. I have been blogging since 2005 (or 2006?), and I have had several blogs. I tend to use one and get tired of it. I am one of those people that throws things away too quickly. The opposite of hoarding. I de-clutter with vigor and usually regret it. But this is my favorite space so far of all the blogs I’ve had. Maybe it will stick. I know it’s not good to delete so much history and leave dead end links along internet trails.

I wrote this afternoon about boxes for the We Write Poems inaugural prompt. I began to investigate items one could find in the glove box of a car and decided to find some metaphors in manuals and maps. What could be more useful than manuals and maps for love? If I really created such a thing, I could be a billionaire and leave this poetry thing behind. 🙂

My draft is here in the post below this one. (Leave me a note if you need the password.) And here’s what everyone else wrote.
