Yesterday was a great day of folks showing their #loveforpoetry and a #bookstore. #25years of support for @woodlandpattern and I've #readpoems for two of those now. #betterlatethannever 😁 Getting dressed I thought, maybe #poetryreadings are my chance to try the Terimarie #uniform I truly sometimes hate deciding #whattowear maybe my next #poetryreading I'll just wear the same stuff 😎 #neway besides #readingpoems it was wonderful to be there to witness the #passingofthetorch to Margaret Rozga as the new #wisconsinpoetlaureate #congratsagain Peggy! 🏆🎉🎊 #lastly so #awesome to end the day #reunited with a couple of my #onedraft #poems thanks to @vegetarianalcoholicpress Secret Words was one of my #favorite #writerevents #lastyear honestly the name of the press #drewmein 😊 #lookingforward to the next event! #ps #thisweather is the worst! Before I read my first poem (about #jadis #whitewitch from #narnia creating everlasting winter in Wisconsin 😁) I told the audience not much else would get me to leave the house, but #poetry did, the #writercommunity did. As the saying goes, what you give your time, you #treasure. I had tears in my eyes at times, witnessed another moment that didn't move me but the writer seated next to me quietly wiped tears away - and really that's the essence of it all. A place where diverse writings, artists, the community are all invited, welcomed, celebrated. There's still plenty of time to donate to #woodlandpattern for those who did already based on my involvement I thank you 💜 (at Woodland Pattern Book Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJU93Rh_RN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v634hmjm993f

On the penultimate day of National Poetry Month, I happily made my way back to AllPoetry.com. After a four-year absence, I'd nearly forgotten how fantastic many of the writers are over there. Highly recommended. #poetry #poets #nationalpoetrymonth #readpoems #poetrycommunity

I messed up a little bit on one line but, hey, it adds ~realism~ right?

Don't be frightened by the loud bang in the middle, there were balloon sculptures going around, and one popped during this poem.
