example of poetry from 80 Works

this is a lipogram that i wrote on thursday
a lipogram is a poem that can use no "e."


abundant living is all I want.
full with
knowing many humans,
manifold failings,
abounding in faith.

a myriad of thoughts
a thousand births
sharp pinpricks
God to talk with,
child to mama.
journals brim-full with sprawling ink
swarming flying fish, and
unnatural ways of growing in this world

I want motion. a vivacious
spirit, full of turmoil.
dynamic, vigorous, and
truly conscious.

living past limits.
in margins, in doorways
liminal, luminous
past functionality

I want to finish this
day hour infinity
far from normal.
