Sharing the process of creating my list poem around Macbeth, Act One.
I have started to tutor home educated young 'uns. We are reading and responding to Macbeth together at GCSE level. I have never engaged with Shakespeare until now. I absolutely love Macbeth. I am so annoyed with myself that I waited 56 years to hang out with Lady Macbeth! What a character!

Try Again
One thing about me is that I keep trying. I keep coming back. Unfortunately, I I've learned this by bombing out so many times.

Disapproval
I guess the disapproval is for myself. I feel like I've crossed a line today. It's only in fairly recent years that I've realised that I have a disordered relationship to food, but I don't think I ever had an actual eating disorder.

Enraged
There's so much to get enraged about, that I can't bring myself to get mad about any of it. I'm just sad and tired. I couldn't find an avenue for my rage, so it's all just petered out and I'm an empty husk.

Talking Hearts Cards
Author's Note: John picked the cards and answered them first. I didn't answer them at the same time. It gave me time to think about the answer as a couple were tough questions. Some of the answers brought humor, and laughter.

Weathering the Storms
Somewhere, between the urge to fade away And the instinct to live to see the dawn There lies a place where my mind goes astray And rides a tempest it alone could spawn With fetters broken, it's a merry ride A wild excursion through what life could be If something along the way had turned the tide And opened different doors for you and me Perhaps I would have sold a million books Maybe I'd still be working nine to five I view my life from different overlooks And in each view, our love is still alive My mind's wanderings may not be needed But the messages will be well heeded

Le Guin Apprenticeship Journal VII(a)
It would be wrong to lie to you. I wasn't all that excited about this week, which is about perspective. Or point of view (you'll see writer-y folk use POV if they love an acronym, which I do not, generally).

Laura
I was in the bathtub the first time I saw Laura. I was playing with my Barbies, and the water was getting cold. I turned on the faucet to warm it up and there she was, sitting across from me. I was startled at first, but she seemed nice. We played dolls. When Mom came to check on me, she was gone.
