After the lovey dovey of last month, I figure it’s about time we get back to the harsh realities of life. This month’s theme was going to be “Simplify, Simplify, Simplify” a nod to Henry David Thoreau and then a brief comment on my own (book) hoarding tendencies and the pain inducing process of liberating some of them back into the wilds of Goodwill. Instead I’ve decided on:

Theme: Turning a Blind Eye

Structure: Acrostic (Single or Double, writer’s choice)

Why this change? I’m writing a longish rant about that to be posted soonish. Until then, happy creative interpretations and furious writings!
