This is the flash story that never ends
It just goes 'round and 'round, my friends
I started writing/revising it
Not knowing what it was
And I'll continue writing/revising it forever just because

Met this guy while walking my dog at lunch 🌝

A smiling face with leaves for eyes and nose and a stick for a grin.

Thrilled to have three tiny poems up on @havehashad.com!

Here’s one:

A city bursts inside of me
My head becomes heavy from bloom.
The lake leaks out of my eyes.
I'm pregnant with families.
They spill onto my toes and set up tents.
I can hear crying on my kneecaps.
At night, a train shivers with longing.

Pumpkin spice Submittable. It's the same as regular Submittable, but the rejections are pumpkin spice flavored.
