If you didn't have at least a little shame, you wouldn't say "shameless self-promotion" about your thing. You'd just promote it.
Courage, come stand me as I stir the world's pot.
Set your solid back to the rim and hold fast.
Let's not lose a drop. Let the ladle pull deep,

@scearley hello! I used to follow you on the birdsite when I was @ineffabilliken there.
Found a nice spot outside to fall deep into a reverie. A poem is on its way.
A longer poem tonight, too long to toot.

Official Post from Amos J. Hunt: Why is it that at any given time,when I’m at table, trying to crack a rhyme,there’s one and only one fat, stupid flybuzzing around my head, but after I,one hand held high and threatening, corner him,closing in slow (for I a hunter am),till I can see the fibers on his backbristling, I’m sure, in fear
Candle flame, you bodiless creature: bless you!
Unreluctantly you release your whole self.
Your entire existence is nothing but this
constant bestowal.
Never have you stopped to admire your own light,
never dreamed of clinging in vain to false gold.
Every moment, ever again you give God
glory forever.
