A Writer's Notebook, Day Five-Hundred-And-Fifty

In writing poems, I find that I often have to just trust that I know what I am doing.  It can feel, especially when the work is in transition, as if the poems are somewhat random, at least when I am writing, but looking back I often recognize more.  I need to remember that a part of me is a far better writer, a smarter poet, than the bit of my mind that thinks it knows what I am doing.
