https://t.co/30tRcxtcsx I heard you were writing me a letter. Not a postcard, but a treaty.
|
Pity. People say, write him a letter because he won’t listen.

https://t.co/30tRcxtcsx @EmCecilia50 @edemazah Thank you so much.🥹❤️ I’ll receive the welling tears and

serve the glass of mountain water

With a blooming breath

the warmth of the dinner table
|
I will decorate for you

the well bucket draws water

With that water I’ll wash the rice

I’ll serve a delicious dinner

https://t.co/WrfeYzi21X One time in France my friend said to a Parisian "Oh yeah, Emily and I live really close to each other. Maybe 6 to 8 hours driving from Minneapolis to Chicago?" and the French person just started laughing in disbelief @patriphobe @dchiasso I’m so sorry for your loss, Chase. May Gerald Rest In Peace. Thank you for sharing the poems. Update from @SkunkBabePoet : @JihyunYun2nd @PaddingtonF So far, 146 dead and 150 injured. I’m in shock I’m … speechless. 100k people crowded into Itaewon, Seoul, for Halloween festivities and 146 people were crushed to death. 150 injured. Numbers may rise. On the night of Saturday, Oct 29 (local time). 🥹✨💛 Thinking of the teenage & adult years I spent believing I had a timid personality because all my elementary school teachers had said so (since I was quiet in class)… But I wasn’t shy, I just couldn’t speak English 😭 With words from "obituaries published in the New York Times (May 27, 2020) to commemorate the lives lost to the pandemic." By Kanika Ahuja. Full poem here:

https://t.co/2ls0dYtkWh Lol I had been standing in line for the women’s bathroom for 10 minutes, a man comes up to the men’s bathroom, sees that it’s occupied, waits 5 seconds then grumbles “Are they giving BIRTH or something?” (The person had been in there for maybe a minute) …😒 Is Phantom of the Opera just Ratatouille except creepy-romantic and set in an opera house —But I am here,
|
nestled nicely in narcissus, rippled with redbuds,
|
shaking cherry blossoms from their boughs. Back home,
|
blood is water spilled from flesh. Flowers bloom
|
in the wake of the dead, but will they wake?

@aaww https://t.co/z1YI2uIQIT @aadeleon @UNC_Press congratulations!!! Desperation is a specific reek; the ground

fraught with it. At fault with it.

protection if it followed me.

I wanted to walk alone. His jacket

knew me when the breeze

bit me: I never took it off.

https://t.co/nepk3BBVUh @YoungohJung Safe travels, and come back any time!! See you in Seoul in 2 months :) What I did to fight hunger,
|
to keep nothing God-like,
|
to be fine if I was ground
|
for prison. But it’d be my myth
|
if I didn’t keep living.

https://t.co/nepk3BBVUh For a second I thought this bird was missing a head https://t.co/KD95BXuGuO Is it the law of the universe or something that the ONLY time you achieve the perfect messy bun is when you’re home alone, and all the other times you make a bun, you either look like an austere headmistress of a British boarding school or someone who was attacked by a wind gust? @cathylinhche David & I got both shots on the same day (he got the pfizer, I got Moderna) & both felt mostly ok but took the next day off. It seems reactions vary a lot, so I’d def do it the day before a free day & in the late afternoon so you can eat din, relax, and go to sleep @chenchenwrites Happy anniversary!!❤️❤️ @samsax1 @mcsweeneys Congratulations!!!🎉 ❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨❄️🍬✨ See you in less than 10 minutes!!

https://t.co/wOdeAW5mI9 @kazumiochin Kazumi, i am so sorry to hear this. How terrifying and awful. Wishing your stepfather the smoothest recovery possible and holding you in my thoughts. Still one of my fave moves! (Retweeting because someone liked it today 😮!) @JamesBazan @dizzycatdesign @poetrynw @lavbonesmag @FlowerSongPress @poetrymagazine @EduardoCCorral Thank you, Jim, Cat! It warms my heart to know that my poem / feed offers some tenderness 💖 @sandrahpark omg see you there~~ I had the opportunity to visit many places.

Climbed more than 150 steps to see “Callao Cave,”
|
took a bath with our clothes on,
|
stayed until 6 P.M. to see thousands of batsfly from one hill to another.

@aaww https://t.co/j9tSliF0LH I need to stop thinking "I didn't do anything today" if I spent the whole day at the desk & tried to produce but didn't. Just thinking, gathering, planning can be so much work 🫠 Can’t wait for my bestie’s book to come out!!!! @lol_focus Caitlin!!! YES, you selected it for Reservoir. ❤️ Got my bivalent booster and flu shots on Thursday and am glad to report that I was only a bit woozy and achy yesterday, but am perfectly well and bouncy today! 💪 @leogilg I’m so happy it was worth your while.☺️☺️ @PequenoPete The world is cold (in many ways) and beautiful😭 @NurayOnoglu Thank you for reading it🥰 @rebeccaromani I’m so glad you found it lovely!! @blscktimbs Thank you❤️❤️ @BierVicki Love the neon and the mismatch 👌 @amyrose4801 I appreciate that so much!🥺 @RobertP59043094 Thank you! ⚡️ @SunnyandSheryl Thank you, Sheryl 💕 @CRaeReilly ❤️🧡💛 @HMeltChicago @tamaranopper I miss Chicago!! but I miss you more @NerjaWiFi Thank you 🙏! @sarahmagdelene Thank you for sharing 🧡 @chenchenwrites 🥹🥹thank you, Chen🥹🥹 @haolun1 You have a fan in me 🥹🥹 a luminous new poem by @haolun1! @_joseolivarez It means a lot coming from you🧡 @aboy_bug Oh, thank you so much!! 😭💖💖 Happy autumn equinox!🍂 I wrote this poem (a ~surprise hit~) during my first autumn in Chicago. I don't love cold weather but I do miss that feeling of stepping into a warm room, peeling off layers & being greeted by a hot drink. My memories of Chicago are always cozy https://t.co/fci2bjK6yJ @MeanMisterKien You taught me that my thirst for knowledge isn’t unquenchable I really don't think I would've become a poet if my high school creative writing teacher Terence Young wasn't so excited about sharing poems and reading our drafts. I often fell in love with a subject because the teacher very obviously loved it and showed that it is something worth caring deeply about @samforbreakfast mo def lives @samforbreakfast changing hearts changing lives 🥺🥺 @samforbreakfast 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️ living is such wet data.
