Deadlines, Oh, Deadlines

THE POETRY PORTFOLIO IS IN. Now, the fiction portfolio. Then the Statement of Purpose.

My brain is bleeding.

...

So of course I'm planning the essay I'm going to write for the Hopwoods this year. Big clue: it involves birds.

Bet you're not all that surprised.

haiku sequence --

I am much too fat
to be any bird except
a great gray owl

or, perhaps, penguin.
Everybody loves penguins
because they are cute

and because they are
narrated by Freeman;
I must be the owl.
