From that time when the #wisconsinpoetlaureate used a line from one of #mypoems as a #writingprompt 😎 this day was mostly #blarg but it also had ultra special aspects like this, like #prayer like connecting with #mysons that were so precious the #goodstuff #thankful #lifeofapoet #wisconsinpoets #poetryisnotdead #igpoet #poetsandwriters #instagrampoets #poetsandwritersofinstagram #catapult #bewhatyoudream #whileyoustillcan 💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/CIXCBtUlVZD/?igshid=l6nx3q7kts9v

The #nintendojournal got some use today 😎 I'm looking forward to learning about #protestpoetry from the #wisconsinpoetlaureate Margaret Rozga. The #protestpoems I've written thus far have been organic outpourings not based on form, style or any other intentional structure, just getting my emotions out. I'm sure her feedback as well as that of the other students will be valuable. #anyhow two hours flew by this afternoon! Now I'm going to take in what's left of this #fakespring day 😁 #nintendo #poeminprogress #lifeofapoet #poetlaureate #poetryclass #protestpoet #resist #beobservant #observationpoetry #poetryisnotdead #igpoet #poetsandwriters #instagrampoets #poetsandwritersofinstagram #igpoets #catapult #bewhatyoudream (at Woodland Pattern Book Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9NXMpul9m1/?igshid=bo72l702o9my

Yesterday was a great day of folks showing their #loveforpoetry and a #bookstore. #25years of support for @woodlandpattern and I've #readpoems for two of those now. #betterlatethannever 😁 Getting dressed I thought, maybe #poetryreadings are my chance to try the Terimarie #uniform I truly sometimes hate deciding #whattowear maybe my next #poetryreading I'll just wear the same stuff 😎 #neway besides #readingpoems it was wonderful to be there to witness the #passingofthetorch to Margaret Rozga as the new #wisconsinpoetlaureate #congratsagain Peggy! 🏆🎉🎊 #lastly so #awesome to end the day #reunited with a couple of my #onedraft #poems thanks to @vegetarianalcoholicpress Secret Words was one of my #favorite #writerevents #lastyear honestly the name of the press #drewmein 😊 #lookingforward to the next event! #ps #thisweather is the worst! Before I read my first poem (about #jadis #whitewitch from #narnia creating everlasting winter in Wisconsin 😁) I told the audience not much else would get me to leave the house, but #poetry did, the #writercommunity did. As the saying goes, what you give your time, you #treasure. I had tears in my eyes at times, witnessed another moment that didn't move me but the writer seated next to me quietly wiped tears away - and really that's the essence of it all. A place where diverse writings, artists, the community are all invited, welcomed, celebrated. There's still plenty of time to donate to #woodlandpattern for those who did already based on my involvement I thank you 💜 (at Woodland Pattern Book Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJU93Rh_RN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v634hmjm993f
