Last week's poetry fishbowl went well.  I am still writing, and have more sponsored poems to post as well.


Poetry in Microfunding:

There is one open epic at present.

"The Best Understanding of Their Differences" belongs to Polychrome Heroics: Calliope. Calliope and Vagary start on couple exercises.


The weather has been clear and pleasant here. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a flock of mourning doves, a flock of cardinals, several sparrows, a Bewick's wren, a house finch, and a squirrel.  

This poem is spillover from the November 3, 2020 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired and sponsored by ng_moonmoth. It also fills the "mental or spiritual distress" square in my 11-1-20 card for the Sense-Ation Bingo fest. This poem belongs to the series One God's Story of Mid-Life Crisis.

Today is partly cloudy and warm.

I fed the birds.

I cut dry weeds from the tulip bed by the parking lot and hauled them to the firepit. 

EDIT 11/9/20 -- I got back out to cut more weeds.  The tulip bed itself is now pretty clear, although I'd like to get the rest of the weeds removed from that area.

Two new species of greater glider have been discovered in Australia.  \o/

I am amused because they are cat size -- the biggest airborne marsupial.  Apparently our Torn World skycats weren't so fantastical after all.
