Don't be a naysayer,
neither be you negative
nor constantly find fault—
that's my job.

Connecting dots can be challenging

My old knapsack,
compadre of the track—
son never brought it back.

Write everyone (see what I did there 👀). It is Friday and that means I get to do one of the things I love most about Mastodon... Which is spread the word about some accounts I love because there's no other way to find them!
Posting from this instance because I'm circumventing character limits and in no particular order I would definitely follow:
@feditips (head here if you have any questions about the #Fediverse and #Mastodon and also check their website where a lot of those questions are already answered)
@[email protected] (the brilliant mind that brought us #WynonnaEarp, a perfect source of snarky humour and irreverent hot takes on the state of the world)
@DeadSocietyPoet (an incredible poet who also reads his work over on the Gram and the Tok, and runner of 4 #PoetryPrompts on the bird site. I'm working on getting him to launch #VIVPoem, #CrowsTales, #TurningThePhrase and #15WordsPoet here 😂)
@mystavaria (A brand new, still in development MUD that will be launching their alpha/beta soon. In need of builders and testers so join their #DiscordServer!)
@teabeesea (an incredible poet who is also half the mind behind the absolutely brilliant world of the Between - check out their site linked in my bio!)
@FrostPoem (an amazing poet whose words I fell in love with the first second I saw them. Remind her consistently just how wonderful her words are)
@EllenKrupich (Another absolutely amazing poet whose skill with words leaves me slightly awestruck every time she comes across my feed).
The Right Sort of Friend
When you clumsily trip on a stair,
she mends your amour propre
with delicate savoir faire.

not to the page but to join
their siblings in dreams.

Neighbors wish me to abstain:
no disrupting their Goth brooding
uking "Singin' in the Rain"!
