Weird in what way? The content, the form? Is it actually just sort of normalish but totally atypical for you? Is it about your sorrow gown?

And no, it isn't about my sorrow gown. It's about my love of salad bar pudding.

It's a good thing that it's not like anything you've ever written. Whether it's a failure or a success, you've broken out of familiarity ("comfort zone") and that's always good.

Almost anything is out of my comfort zone right now since before these workshops, I hadn't written a poem in over a year. I know: isn't that tragic/disgusting/typical?

I had been taking notes (lots and lots of notes), but I hadn't actually put together a draft of anything.

And, okay, I'm posting it. In secret.

Glad to see you--there has been positive movement on my own poetry front. (After typing it sounds like trench warfare, and that's not a bad image for it.)
