Ramblings and reflections of a part-time poet.

  1. Looking Forward by Looking Back

    A little something for our Thursday at Two Poetry group today, a week after a week's postponement due to the Mosquito Fire threatening our foothill communities... at least it gave me something to write about... lol ?

    In honor of Earth Day we had a poetry reading for the community. Very sparse turnout but it was my first time in front of a microphone reciting poetry outdoors - so all good... the only butterflies were the ones flitting about in the abundant sunshine just before noon. We had three poets from our little group, including myself, and one from a sister group from a community across the South Fork of the American River.

    Afterwards we poets journeyed down the hill from the amphitheater

    (wait that should be on Alexa... adjusting
    bluetooth settings) binaural beats belt out
    on Alexa... buffer... binaural beats belt out on
    Alexa now hunting and pecking on wireless keyboard
