@mcmichaelcarter Oof! There's a reason they call them clownstabbers.

@writermstone You're very kind to share this, M! 💙💙💙

[Julia Beach Anderson @ElderflowerJam]

@writermstone @melostrom Those were my favorite lines/images too! ❤️

[Julia Beach Anderson @ElderflowerJam]

@writermstone @susanlleary Agreed! There is nothing extra in this poem. It's perfect ❤️

My favorite project of 2025 (and 2024, tbh)!

Prose poem or CNF...I have an opinion on that.

This is a gorgeous piece of writing from @melostrom

[Melissa Ostrom @melostrom]

Excited to start the new year with a CNF flash in the latest issue of Prime Number Magazine. Happy 2026, friends.❤️ https://t.co/HdDShN0pzo

[Julia Beach Anderson @ElderflowerJam]

@melostrom There are few things I'd love more than to have coffee and a conversation with you about this piece.

You say CNF flash, I say prose poem.

"To wake to frost and circle the paper shell." That bit of language is stunning. ❤️

Merry Christmas Eve from my family to yours. 💙

@melostrom These are beautiful!

@AllyMalinenko You've been to Hell and back. Whatever your feelings are in the moment you have them, they are justified. ❤️

@TomPorterDC Brick Alley used to be my favorite in Newport (their Lobster Ravioli is soooo good), but Buskers edged them out in my book this summer.

I didn't care for Black Pearl, but I clearly didn't know what to order. I'll try this next time. 😃

@LeePottsPoet like secret
creatures bound to an old deity
of edges, waiting to offer
up the blood of anyone
crossing

Oof. That's some gorgeous writing right there, Lee. ❤️

[Julia Beach Anderson @ElderflowerJam]

@TomPorterDC Nope. Still mad. 😆

It was a great series for both teams, though. ❤️

[Julia Beach Anderson @ElderflowerJam]

My new favorite podcast.

I could sit and listen to Martin Sheen read poetry all day. He has the gift of music.

[The Martin Sheen Podcast @themartinpod]

With one of my favorite men, my son and namesake, Ramon. Hear our talk on The Martin Sheen Podcast this week.💙

@PearlsFromMyrna Agreed. She was a national treasure. ❤️

@TomPorterDC Have you ever lived with a cat? One of their favorite things to do is jump in your lap (or prance on a table in front of you), turn around, and stick their furry little butt in your face.
