Sometimes you write the feeling of a thing rather than the thing itself. If the feeling you have about the thing you're writing lines up with the feeling the thing creates—that's a good thing.

One dog tag,

One of the benefits of Bluesky is that it allows you to set up Feeds as tabs. I have one for #PoemsAbout and one for #PromptCombo. It means that you don't have to search, and therefore you don't miss any activity on them. Their history is always there in your feed.
