With a great deal of difficulty I am trying to remember my poem, "Dead Girl Dance" for performance next week. Grace taylor who is leading our workshops and has a great deal of experience working with new poets is very encouraging and patient but I am pretty close to giving up. It is so frustrating.I can remember poems I learned when I was 15 and now I can't get something I wrote to flow freely. Get older is obviously no fun.
The other poem I have in the recital is much shorter and easier to remember because I can see the pattern. I know that is the key, to recognise the pattern and then I will have it, but what if there is no pattern? Also I think my poem is not working with the other poems in the group, it is too sombre.
My partner in crime was not in class last night so we did not work on our collaboration.
