Been a busy week here - including major water leaks & no running water for 3 days! - so I'd completely forgotten the new @dustpoetry was due out. & that it includes a little poem of mine celebrating cheese!

So here's to cheese, poetry & being able to flush the toilet again!

[Atrium Poetry @AtriumPoetry]

Our @HollyannePoet has a celebratory cheese poem in the new issue of @DustmagPoetry. The issue is themed JOY! Some wonderfully uplifting poems here.
