More Less

I need to write more poems again.
I miss the way my brain worked then.
I also need to play more songs,
design more websites, right more wrongs,
find more clients, make more cash,
do more with my craft-stuff stash,
speak more Spanish, read more books,
spend time proving I can cook,
make more friends, call friends more,
do more with my Etsy store,
give my toddler more of me,
be the best that I can be,
yes, the very, very best–
okay, so what should I do less?

About Design

My husband says, "Write a poem about design."
And he's right. That's what's been on my mind.
The reason I haven't written poems this past week
is I've had a dozen vector graphics that I had to tweak.
It's amazing what some points, some lines, some colors in between
have the strength to say. How much they can mean.
And how much there is to learn when each mistake's a class
and the notebook is my brain and I have to write so fast.
