@earthbrowne The lilies! Also dog-eared dusk. 🙌

#poetry #poetrycommunity #canadianpoet #nature #countryliving Good things arrive slowly, like the quiet gratitudes of a summer evening. This one finally found its way home…

They’re everywhere. 🧡 #Micro #Poem #Lily #CanadianPoet #FulvaFlowers

@GaryLegg12 @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith @blackboughpoems I like the way you’ve used modifiers to convey movement in something that takes a long, long time to move. “splitter-crack”!

Here for #Elements is an earthy one. Some good reading to be had and happy holidays to Matthew!!🙂👏☀️ @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith @blackboughpoems

@MatthewMCSmith No, but that’s fabulous.

Anyone else get this? ‘I looked you up on the internet. Didn’t realise you were a poet. Very interesting!!!’ (Knowing smile) Also get stopped in the street sometimes. Mostly in Swansea but it’s entertaining .

why is there never an outbreak of something nice

@katrosenfield 😂

The freshest of breaths for @TopTweetTuesday hosted by @MatthewMCSmith. Happy Summer, everyone. 🌅 #Poetry #Prompts #Summer #CapeTryon #ItllCureWhatAilsYou

Just a bunch of people going to each other’s islands

Extinction for this week’s #FragmentsFriday. Thank you to @blackboughpoems and @MatthewMCSmith for keeping the light on. #Poetry #Fragments #Drafting

@justrandomwords @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith Parameters in prompts are helpful, certainly.

@MegsDregs @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith I don’t think Whitman ever knew. He always thought the next edition of “Leaves of Grass” would be the perfect one. As for me, I knew my poem was finished because I’d used up my 80 words.. 😉

I’m as old as Walt Whitman in Leaves of Grass. I don’t say this disparagingly; I rather like aging. But such thoughts inspired the following. Thanks to @TopTweetTuesday and @MatthewMCSmith for hosting. #Songs #Poetry #TopTweetTuesday #WaltWhitman #Aging

@justrandomwords @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith I took a liberty from this third stanza: poetryfoundation.org/poems/45477/so… I play a game called “I’m older than…” and it’s getting increasingly interesting with time. But is any poem ever finished? How do you know when yours are?

@MegsDregs @TopTweetTuesday @MatthewMCSmith I don’t know what you mean by the age thing. Whitman wrote “Leaves of Grass” as a young man and it is full of a young man’s vitality and optimism, though he continued to edit and add to it throughout his life. I guess you mean you are ageless. You contain multitudes.

If you’re a writer, an Author , or someone who loves books, feel free to say hi

@earthbrowne John Kerr has passed, unfortunately. Gord is the Senior Editor of the publication. If you like, I can put you on our Editorial queries callout (usually in March). DM your email if it suits, I’m the current Digital Editor, and always looking for engagement opps.

@MegsDregs Ontario Out of Doors..? I use to know John Kerr and Gord Ellis - I think John has passed..? Did my fair share of writing for fishing mags, back in the day..😉

Some fishy fascination for weekly #FragmentsFriday hosted by @blackboughpoems and @MatthewMCSmith. Thank you for hosting and tending the fires. #MicroPoem #CanadianPoet #Summer #BiologyPoetry

@earthbrowne @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith I just think they’re neat!

@MegsDregs @blackboughpoems @MatthewMCSmith Rock Bass...😎

@JodiesJumpsuit I went to Kawartha Dairy, and there were only a couple tubs left. Reminds me of those little chocolate liqueurs.

You have no idea how hard it has been to acquire this, and no idea how proud I am that I finally have

Hello, Poets. On the eve of the Fourth, I give you Blue Hour. Many thanks, @MatthewMCSmith @blackboughpoems #FragmentsFriday
