@SarahNotGellar I’ve been using it less and less, so if you don’t catch me easily in the future, it’s not b/c I’m avoiding you. :)

[Greg Dyer @Greg_Dyer]

@SarahNotGellar Yes, you probably should. ;)

[Greg Dyer @Greg_Dyer]

@SarahNotGellar If you’re talking about Mt Dew Legends, available exclusively at Buffalo Wild Wings, then, yes, I have tried it. I was underwhelmed. ;)

"Unfortunately, poetry can’t oppose propaganda. I would say that poetry ends up where propaganda starts off. The audiences of poetry and propaganda almost don’t overlap. These are different psychological types of people."

@abigail_jean98 @BreatheChili Preach it, sister!

[Greg Dyer @Greg_Dyer]

@BreatheChili @abigail_jean98 It’s not required, but it is acceptable, especially as a procrastination tool for avoiding grading.

This clip reminds to recommend that everyone read W. P. Kinsella’s short story “Butterfly Winter.”

It's that time of the year for butterflies in Mexico.

@abigail_jean98 There’s no way that paper was below average.

[Greg Dyer @Greg_Dyer]

@SarahSadMatcha They miss you, too!

Poems are kinda tough to teach in a test-based school system, so instead they’re often framed more like riddles, as things that need to be “figured out” or “solved.” To me, the difference is:

Riddles have 1 answer.

Poems have 0 answers, but many secrets.

I really don't know how you expect me to write if I don't spend at least twenty minutes choosing my font, and another twenty choosing my font size.

A normal person sees a pile of notes as chaos. Maria Kondo wd start slamming down warm beer. But to a writer, it looks like potential Something. I don’t think we get “blocked”, just empty. So SEE some life today, remember stuff and scribble it down. We’ll figure it all out later

What you read will become the company you keep. The worlds you imagine will shape the world you encounter.

Choose well what forms your imagination.

Stephen Dunn has died. I’m a little stunned and certainly saddened. His poetry arrived for me at a key moment in my life, and the world without him seems a little less kind. RIP. https://t.co/I3OFuNHJzt

@MarkGWagenaar So sad to hear this.

@BCDreyer Am I justified in feeling annoyed every time I hear a sports commentator talk about a player being able to “score the basketball”? I get images of paring knives being applied to leather.

@cameronofbrooks While I'm trying to persuade myself otherwise, this feels like a subtweet.

[Greg Dyer @Greg_Dyer]

@jcbangsund Did you see this? What say you?
