One day left! Tomorrow will be the big day … how exciting. This has been an exciting way to explore a theme. Nurse Aide Sonnets. Not all of them well-thoughtout or to the point, but a theme regardless. Cheers, everyone who helped.
Someone dies and for six months you don't write.

and some thing other than joy fills you up
words stop being fun. Life is suddenly
ickily-poo. Better to bastardize
