@newberg_sean Has to do with a rather interesting situation at the National Society for Field Workers. Just google "Spanking NSFW" to find out more.

@RealisticPoetry I use a random number generator and pick those words from the poem itself, as it seems the truest reflection. Sometimes I'll need to tweak it a bit.
My latest sestina is "River Ferry Ghost."

I did a cloud backup
of me. It rained. Now
I’m everywhere.

Me 5.8 is incompatible
with most of you.
Some may skip reboot
for fear of weight gain
and hair loss.

Support provided.

Some people will be
stuck on the
blue screen of
“anxious as hell”.

Updates soon.

“Anyone who writes is a seeker. You look at a blank page and you’re seeking. The role is assigned to us and never removed. I think this is an unbelievable blessing.”

Read our Art of Poetry interview with Louise Glück, conducted by @ColeHenri.

“Books were my boyhood. I can remember my mother reading Moby-Dick to me when I was six years old. Each evening I had to know exactly where the story had left off the night before or she wouldn’t read the next page.” —Lewis Lapham https://t.co/LWalOvjLEX

Dear writers, poets and authors #WritingCommunity

In your opinion, can poetic talent be inherited or can absolutely anyone become a poet?

Your opinion is very interesting, I wish you all a great day.

Shit I've learned on writing twitter this week:
•dont trad pub
•dont indie pub
•dont self pub
•pitch your story on social media
•dont reveal details on social media
•dont research agents
•always research agents
•dont celebrate your own victories

Missing anything?
