Announcing The Book I Conceived
Finishing the book proposed for the grant I received
My word for this year, twenty-twenty-six
is 'Publish'! I have a book due this year
I have been working on edits, and fix
the time to finish edits with some fear
~
The fear of my first art grant proposal
I never once thought that I would get it
Win made it a bad idea to fizzle
Working on it has made me have to sit
~
Sit still and write everyday, sometimes night
Most day and night, I think about the book
The sky is looking so bright, when I write
This could be one of the last books I cook
~
The message is: a book I'm publishing
No time to do much else and no fishing!
