3. I use the practice of writing poetry

as therapy. Its unregulated and unproven self medication which works. A whole world of poetry exists that I never knew about or looked for. The practice of studying and analyzing poetry and its forms I haven't done. I just read stuff and decide arbitrarily if I like it or not.

I'm going to buy a dictionary at a yard sale to better understand some words.

Been thinking about that free flowing consciousness thing. Its very difficult for me I have to be in the right frame of mind.

Eagerly looking forward to reading Davenport now. Hope I can understand some of it.
