The first rule of writing is to write small. Small, but not diminutive. If you want to write about love ... write about, spreading a blanket across the driveway at 7:30 a.m. to eat your breakfast of toasted pitas and raspberry jam, as your son winds his body inside the shape of your lap, and delights in the construction that is taking place across the street. Hammers and nails will be poetry for you then.
