A poet asked me, for the issue of @Pshares.bsky.social i’m editing, whether I’m looking for poems on a certain theme. I answered, “I’m looking for poems that weave structure & meaning so they can’t be separated— Structure fully realized & expressed like the shape of a flower.”

"HAG is one of the magic words for which there is no male form, suggesting its original meaning was close to "diviner, soothsayer," which were always female in northern European paganism, and hægtesse meant "woman of prophetic and oracular powers" Later, the word was used of village wise women."

@katebelew.bsky.social reports in today's "Weekly Magic" that "the sound of birds singing tells our nervous system that we’re in a safe environment and our able to relax." Anne Waldman says birds are the original poets. To complete the effect, though, poets need to SING, and that means #MeterMagic
