Thanks, Samuel!

By the way, I loved your poem, "Aubade with Birds," in @stonecirclereview.bsky.social. It seems perfect for our current time and also perfect for October & Halloween!

My TBR pile is calling loudly but it's taking forever to finish my current book because I have to stop reading after a couple pages to think about it for a while.

A successful moment of poetry won't let you calculate anything, for as long as it lasts, it is a mental force that silences all other mental forces.

receptive to good.

NEW POEM #272: "Lying at your grave," by Christian Paulisich

"and say you rise

through six feet of dandelions and dirt, the sewers
rushing through
you now like rivers and byways

to a place better
than this, or worse?"
