@kaddish_s I somehow missed the last line and the two words. It is a quadrille my boner. 🤣

[Veronica Hosking @HoskingPoet]

@kaddish_s This made me laugh. And it’s almost a quadrille for the Monday prompt at dVerse.

[Skeptic's Kaddish @kaddish_s]

I learn, just now, that boners
once meant blunders—inked in red,
slips we laughed at, gently.
The surprise—and what it opens—
stirs a quickening—cerebral—
a bright, ridiculous thrill
at error named so bluntly;
my thoughts stand at attention, hard—
in fact

@kaddish_s The only thing missing is bicycles. 🚲

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let's recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) Secretary's incompetence - and keep stepping up the political pressure.

around the same block
his bicycle keeps circling
~ limited orbit
freedom to explore new space
begins with slow, cautious turns
a satellite blinks
far above quiet rooftops
tracking new borders
screen #anxiety
doomscrolling… https://t.co/Of3DI6bFD0

@FreyaPickard Thanks 🙏 for recommending my blog. It’s much appreciated.

[Veronica Hosking @HoskingPoet]

@LouDPhillips It lists you as 5’11” now. Not that it makes a difference. Does the general public really need to know your exact height, age, income or car you drive anyway?

[Veronica Hosking @HoskingPoet]

@timothygreen You grew up close to me. I was raised in a suburb of Buffalo, NY.

[Veronica Hosking @HoskingPoet]

@HeterodoxHaiku Love this call. I’ve been contrarian since birth. I’m glad you included me in this edition, Jerome.
