Twitter poets

Tonight we had a poet party on twitter- it was a blast!

Some heady names were there.

You missed it.

Voting again! Caption contest!

Go vote for someone- me, for instance, if you like my caption!

CAPTION CONTEST

Serious fun. Read the Project Runway commentary, too- voting is at the bottom of that.

Poetry Resolutions

Poetry Resolutions 10-17-10

1) To pay attention
2) To revise and reorder poems
3) To organize my time around writing poetry
4) Submit submit submit (contingent on #2)
5) Set aside reading times (poetry first, fiction after)
6) Clear my desk, clear my head
7) Walk everyday (I should probably move that up, it's doable)
8) Continue eating well, and plan meals better for the husband (who is quitting smoking)
9) Keep better contact with friends, near and far

Cooler weather brings more energy- I wish it brought more money (but I can't let that hold me up from doing these resolutions). It's very tempting to huddle under a throw and moan about details- I have certainly done  enough of that recently.

Forward. Outward display. Inner Peace.

Poetry.
