Muse is a Yellow Bird
If you’re here, the clock’s already ticking. You might be stuck somewhere inside a line break or lost, adrift, between the edges of the page. Maybe you’re stalling, poking at fragments or worrying over the white space that keeps growing sideways. Stop. Before you spiral into the abyss of the blank screen, I’m going to hand you the sharpest trick I know: straight from the Word Witch’s Desk—a thing called “The Canary Method.” It’s saved me more times than I can count. I wrote a poem about it in my first-ever chapbook I published with Noble Swine Press.
