10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell Mike Bell In Sussex My daily writing is a 30-year (+) experiment to see if writing a poem a day offsets dementia & other cognitive failures associated with my Parkinson's Disease diagnosis. By then, it will be over 10,000 poems. My inspiration comes from daily events, connections, interactions, and small things, which all seem to demand bigger attention from me. These poems form a narrative to my life, politically and emotionally, which I hope to find engagement with other individuals who are also just trying to get by, with, or without any diagnosis. Summary: – It is not what I am paid to do – It requires a daily commitment – I cannot complete a crossword, but I will attempt to complete verse complexities – my mind needs engagement beyond paid work – my children will need something to fill the vacuum we all create when we pass – these words help me to cry out, cry, and work out why – I am not political, but poetry removes the politics from my words, a reduction in a good way – If I make someone respond, then I will have lived a life worthy of life. I have been published in the UK & USA, although submissions often are not possible as all my written works appear on my site 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell’s tracks Before l Go by 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell published on 2021-04-30T17:02:30Z Carnival Rides by 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell published on 2020-06-23T13:01:57Z BLUEBIRDS OVER by 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell published on 2020-06-19T12:50:39Z How I Am Doing by 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell published on 2020-06-17T21:50:25Z Elder Respect by 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell published on 2020-06-17T21:42:01Z A Taste Of Honey by 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell published on 2020-05-25T20:23:33Z Pleasure Demolished by 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell published on 2020-05-25T20:06:23Z News At One by 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell published on 2020-05-25T19:43:41Z QUADROPHENIA by 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell published on 2020-05-23T23:00:33Z Christmas Island by 10,000 POEMS by Mike Bell published on 2020-05-23T22:48:02Z
