I look the same over there as I do here, and same handle.

[Crystal Taylor @CrystalTaylorSA]

I just received a rejection with feedback. It was the kindest combo they could have sent me.

@brecht_dp You’re the best! Usually when people are good with words AND numbers, I hate them very much. You’re the exception. 🥰

[Crystal Taylor @CrystalTaylorSA]

@RobertAllenPoet I just read this the other day since it was recommended to me as a possible form. I didn’t understand it, but enjoyed it all the same.

@ewenglass I have been reading, both to myself and anyone who will listen, your poem, “My Child” from @havehadhavehad. It gets me every. single. time.

[Crystal Taylor @CrystalTaylorSA]

@poetjohncompton Fan-freakin-tastic, man! I saw your recent poem in @OneArtPoetry1 and loved it!!

[Crystal Taylor @CrystalTaylorSA]

Hi everyone! So, I have 650 word flash that is spec, black comedy and satire. Anyone know of a market that appreciates such madness?

[Crystal Taylor @CrystalTaylorSA]

Two of my earliest poems. Possibly my favorites. (Sheetrock and Particulate Matter)

@mooninabucket That’s a heck of a day. I hope it inspires art, at least. Yikes. Hope everyone is okay.

[Crystal Taylor @CrystalTaylorSA]

Poetry is the only circumstance in which I would voluntarily contemplate Math. And even then, only to throw shade.

[Stone Circle Review @stonecirclerev]

POEM 292: "Math" by Crystal Taylor (@CrystalTaylorSA)

"thumbtacks the moon to a paper sky,
draws a tangent line where the sun sinks
and a constellation rises."
