Well, that didn’t work. Â The last time I did a “30 poems in 30 days” project, it was two years ago and I wound up writing them poems in huge blocks. Â They were much shorter and all followed a similar theme. Â This time around I tried to do longer works on wider themes and, well, it didn’t fly. Â Part of this is because I haven’t been feeling very poetic lately due to my brain being stuck largely in analytic mode due to work — lots of writing being done on the MIT side of things. Â More on that in a minute, but the upshot of 30|08 is that it was a great idea but faltered on the execution. Â Oh, well — I’m still proud of some of the stuff it generated, but next time I’ll be sure to set aside more time just for that type of project.
