It is a shame that I have not maintained this blog since I began university in the fall of 2015. No doubt, most adults know that time gets away from you while in school and especially as you grow older; my writing has fallen victim to this disease of busy-ness and time. 

Even though I do not write as often as I did when I started 1000 Paper Cranes, inspiration strikes me on occasion, as it did on a recent rainy day. Here is a poem inspired by walking my dogs, as I daily do, after a downpour.

"Bougainvillea Scatterplot"

pink bougainvillea

scattered across the sidewalk after rain

with weak correlation 

pink bougainvillea, 

not unlike freckles,

thoughts,

or stars --

scattered across space

with weak correlation

pink bougainvillea 

like freckles,

thoughts,

and stars,

are beautiful, 

random things

pink bougainvillea

scattered across the sidewalk after rain
