Specialization

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert Heinlein

At Arm's Length

Figured I'd post this one, as it's already up on the blogosphere.

Crash

A lot of my poems are a bit depressing. I'll work on that. I posted a more uplifting one just now called A Special Democrat

Salinger

I wrote this one from the New York Times article on Salinger the day after he died. I think it sums up his life pretty well.

Newspaper Blackout Poems

My last few posts are examples of some poems I've written by blacking words on a newspaper. These poems are a blatant copy of the work done by Austin Kleon, but hey art is all about stealing ideas.

I have finally gotten my hands on a scanner so I'm posting some of the poems from the last few weeks. I'll try and keep the updates coming, but no promises.

I would really appreciate some feedback on the poems (content, layout, etc.) so let me know what you think.

Lastly, you should check out the inspiration. He's got some great stuff (even a book!).
