Day 21 / Poem 21

It's hard to believe that here I am in the last 10 days of the 30/30 Project!

One of my favorite parts has been getting words from people - I love knowing they've supported me by donating to Tupelo, helping to keep poetry in the world, I love the challenge of working with five words I didn't choose and finding their way of fitting together, and I love being able to post and tell people that their words have made an appearance.

Today's poem has two points of genesis. One is that in browsing the Academy of American Poets' web site I found a link meant to help you find poetry events in your state. North Dakota is not even on the menu. Sigh.

And the other point was the words my mom sent me: tether, corduroy, plummet, ephemeral, illuminate.
