I can't believe that I am almost halfway through the year on my Frizt365 poetry blog.
I wasn't really sure that I'd be able to maintain the interest required to do it every day for a year. But it's looking good so far.
I don't know if you've been reading them all, but occasionally, I think four times so far, I've inserted something old that I've done. For the halfway point, I'm putting in what I long considered to be my finest, my bestest.
Tumbleweed Addiction. It was my attempt back in 1990-ish, to write a Bob Dylanish thing. I even had a melody that I sung it to. Much to my friend's annoyance I think. For I had it memorized, and sang it often for a year or so.
I don't know if it is all that great, I think it is good still. It's actually the piece of writing I spent the most time on I think, all things considered. I tinkered with it on and off for a while, changing this, changing that. It's still not quite right. But I can't bring myself to change it anymore. I like the phrasing on most of it. Even if it doesn't make the most sense in the world.
So look for it in a few days: #183 Tumbleweed Addiction. From 1991. Fuck me, 20 years ago.
Cheers
