Waking Up Poetry

 

For poets, there is a brief window of opportunity between sleep and consciousness.  Spiritually it can be called a “liminal space,” a connection between this world and the other, between so-called reality and myth.

It doesn’t last long.  Sometimes only seconds.

A regimen of daily writing is what captures the essence of that brief moment.  

Dream journals can be used for Waking Up Poetry as well.  A weaving together of the infinite into the finite.

Give it a try for a week and let me know what happens.
