Love this post! Thanks for the knowledge of the bells. All makes sense. Enjoying your posts! Wrote this in a poem a few weeks ago, been thinking about rules a lot.

I say, fuck poetry rules

that exist—

keep your

carefully curated

list of

dead artist references

whilst staring out

the window of

your breakfast nook

at said bird, flower or tree

which only you know

the scientific name of-—

sipping

a cup of tea

pinky finger

raised at the

right angle

or nursing a

hangover with

black coffee.

Yikes! Please forgive the spelling in e-mail- there was so much esoteric junk I was trying to lay clear,, my poor brain got spun and I mucked up a few - hopefully, better now!
