Full circle

I keep forgetting to tell you

I did complete the reading

of your latest book.

I was so pleased that

Alexa does include the reading

of your Acknowledgements and

other peripheral material.

I find these sections so very interesting.

I look forward to

reading all again when life settles down

when I can just enjoy reading the book

and take some notes on it.

I know that you must be so proud

the publication of this book

brings so much of your life and work

full circle.

Backstory:

I started to  write “found poems”  during my freshman year while working on the BFA degree in painting.

“Full Circle,” is a found poem I created from an E-mail letter I received from a friend.

For the past couple of years I am writing a series of found poems from letters and e-mails that I receive.  I call this series, “Thinking of You.”  Writing these poems is my way of honoring and celebrating everyday jottings for a variety of sources.
