after midnight
all fired up
under the milky way
you talk too much

be still my beating heart
hold on to the nights
don’t shed a tear
love bites

Day 21 of 100 completed! 79 more days to go to crush this epic challenge that will hopefully bring me back to writing. The poem above is a collage of song titles that ruled the charts throughout the year when one of my favorite Tim Burton’s movies Beetle Juice was made – 1988.
My terribly overambitious goal is to create one “collage poem” every day for 100 consecutive days. So far it’s been a delightful experience that as an added bonus is showing me how much fun I can have by “force writing.” Somehow I “feel” that while I’m far from reaching my goal I actually am slowly inching closer. Fingers crossed!
