Jenkins Street Poetry Project: Then I Turned Off the Phone

Then I Turned Off the Phone

Something sad on the radio
Something bad on the news
Something white on a dark shirt
Something quite out of place
Something missing a piece
Something hissing downstairs
Something blue in your eyes
Something new has been born

Welcome to Jenkins Street!

Thanks for visiting! Here you'll find poems I've written since May 2009, when I began a "daily poem" project. I don't write a poem every day anymore, but I try to put something up two or three times a month, at least.

Ginsberg famously said, "First thought, best thought." I doubt that's usually true for most poets, but there is something to be said for freshness and spontaneity. Yes, these are very rough first drafts, but I hope something worthwhile occasionally leaks through the holes between the defects.
