"No, not as there is time to talk"

Just thinking about how hard that is for this introvert to remember sometimes.

WE GOT A PACKAGE! (Wingspan for scale)

And I know perfectly well what I said before, but I'd be lying if this didn't make me want to migrate to tabletop.social ::this is a hint for anyone who wants to give me an invite::

Inspired by Isobel O'Hare (on Twitter), I made an erasure poem using the text of Garrison Keillor's "apology" statement. https://writing.exchange/media/MyoVm3CUb4I8YjH2Dcc
Chapter 5. (I'm really struggling to get my mind going in the right direction this morning, so I figured a bit of mental exercise might help.) https://writing.exchange/media/7X0Lms-iOMjeiOTRf3I

I have all my grandpa's old poetry files and recently came across templates for a family Christmas card he sent out in the 80's, and I got thinking...

So I started working on a charNG poem using grandpa's complete poetic output (which I digitized years ago) as a source text, and now I'm really considering sending the family a Christmas card using his template and this new poem. I think/hope they'd like that.

Anyway, here's the poem.
Happy Monday, all. https://writing.exchange/media/HH1jjuSLtRgr-aSv_UM

Chapter 4. Still rather enjoying myself, thank you very much.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

On to chapter 3 of Moby Dick w/charNG, and my goodness, I almost forgot how much fun these can be. (Still not planning on actually doing 132 more, but thoroughly enjoying myself.)

Happy Thursday, folks. https://writing.exchange/media/X4aVT3kRKg-XjE7Culs

More weird poetry. Moving on to chapter 2, still using charNG.

It occurs to me that if I did one of these every day (be clear/do not worry: I'm not saying I'll do that), I'd finish up by... spring. Moby Dick is a big book is my point. https://writing.exchange/media/MukUfYhtp--kyo0S_6Q

It's been a while since I played with this stuff, but being here has put me in the mood, so here's a thing I made this morning.

I'm calling this poem "A love story", and the romantic in me immediately wonders if it might not be a high-level view of a larger love story, but most likely, it's just me messing around.
