I’m a regional poet, tho not even the best on my block ( see@Anne Fricke1) but aim to crack the recognition code for the next level if I knew what that meant. What was your break out journal? Asking as if I had friends...#poetrylovers #WritersCafe #amwriting #smallpress #journal

2nd local murder this week last night. This one a few blocks away. Police search planes overhead as we took our after dinner walk. Suspect at large.

Can I block 600 blue checks accounts in one day and still make it to work on time? Do gold checks count double? Where is @elliott_downing

Thai came in the mail today. Just in time for my birthday. I believe this completes my collection of the author’s works. Hopefully there won’t be anymore or I’ll have to jettison my thesarus to make room! ⁦@MalarkeyBooks⁩ ⁦@LeighChadwick5#poetry #Bookboost #read

Came out of covid to find 3 poems accepted. One of them 30 years old! And I got laid off, just in time for my 72nd birthday. First time in over 50 years I’ve been unemployed. Must be time to finish my novel!

How many words constitute a novel and how many of them are ‘the’ & ‘and’ ? Asking as if I had no Google. #writerscommunity #novel #MondayMood #AskAMan #Siri

Go ahead and judge this book without seeing its cover or content. All publicity is good publicity! 4 stars!
It is factual that you don’t have to actually read SOPHOMORE SLUMP in order to review it on Goodreads goodreads.com/book/show/1280…

Saw this band in NYC. Early 70’s. Caught the Dewey Redman featured Quartet in Chicago same year as well as a few solo Jarrett concerts in between. I think I saw 12 Jarrett concerts all told. music.apple.com/us/album/lon…

Been told I was ‘too negative’ many times in my life, finally it’s a positive!

(1,3) Thank you Boston @RedSox for all you did last night to honor survivors of gun violence. I was honored to have the chance to work with the Red Sox & my friends at @bradybuzz to plan yesterdays events. As some know, I was supposed to be there & throwing out the first pitch.
