Writing in March

Writing in March

The life story of a porn star sequence has reached its end. This month I have written a couple of poems that were drawing an end to the porn poems set, including a poem about gardening (of all things, quite a surprise to me!), one about Sploosh (there is something wrong with this poem, and I haven’t been able to put my finger on what it is yet), and a final postcard poem. I have also been doing re-writes on the poems I wrote last month, and in research mode, reading about a counterfeit king, Liz Taylor and Marilyn Monroe. I managed to track down a couple of books from America, which don’t seem to be available in this country whatsoever. I read two books about a cheesecake pin-up, and I hope they will help me to write one or two poems that will relate to the porn sequence (they will be about a different character, though still set in America, and in a very different and more innocent era.) I am also reading a book about female criminals, which is sketchy and sensationalist, but may provide one or two names for people I would like to research further at a later date.
