The #corn is up about seven feet now, the young cobs maybe twice the width of a man’s thumb. Time to read Shirley Jackson’s ‘The Lottery’ again—an annual ritual.

Poem of the day: Inspired by the just-discovered work of Scots children's author @SusiBriggsAuthor.

Robert Garioch's 'Quiet Passage', mostly for the romance, the narrow passage shape of the verse, and the use of the word "quietlenwise" #nomoa #scots #poetry #makar #edinburgh #robertgarioch #embro #quietlenwise
