[stylist] Phases of the Moon

[Jacqueline Williams]

Linda,
I have to download a kind of pac to be able to open your attachment. It is
because I have an older version of Word. I don't know why this makes me
nervous, but I have an old laptop and things often get messed up.
I am sorry I cannot read your "Moon" poem at this time. Perhaps I can send
this e-mail to my new computer with all the upgrades when I start to learn
how to use the new operating system.
I love your thinking process. 
Jackie

I want to share a poem I have been working on for a couple of days. I
attached it as a word document for more clarity.

This poem?  It comsumes me - I get up late at night, turn my computer back
on, so I can work some more. Move things around, change some words, inject
meaning, take away what is "too much." 

Writing a poem is like a construction worker. We gather up information, haul
it away in a turck, and take it from one construction site to the next.  We
build it; we tear it apart; we build again; and tear it down once more. And,
on it goes. Each time we destroy or move things, it creates something that
is new. We "construct" meaning through "deconstructing" it. It is hard work.
I am still working on this one.

The Irish librarians were a big surprise to me this afternoon as I worked.
And, this poem taught me so many new things about the phases of the moon and
the meaning of a new tube of lipstick.  lol

I have absolutely NO idea when I begin, where we are going. I begin with a
few words, ideas, and we go from there. It is an exciting journey. When I
had started this one, I had no idea who would be "showing up" to participate
in it. One by one, they come.
