Thank you for joining in conversation with poems. 

In 2006, I began writing a poem a day. At first it was just a challenge to myself. Could I do it? I didn't think so!

I didn't realize then how this practice would change everything. Poetry was no longer something on a page, it became a way of being in the world, changing the way I move through the day. In 2011, I created A Hundred Falling Veils to share the poems.

It is perhaps foolish to put my first drafts into the world every day, but as Rumi said, "Be a fool."

If you enjoy these daily poems, please support me writing them with a donation (I won't really buy coffee, I'll buy groceries). And if you're interested in buying a book (to see what the poems look like beyond their first draft form), please visit  http://wordwoman.com/ 

And, friend, thank you.
