“A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone’s knowledge of himself and the world around him.”

I know what you mean! Blink and half a dozen fly past, miss a day and it’s a gazillion email notifications… and that’s before we actually do any writing ourselves! 💖

I can’t even do the email anymore, so I’ve been relegated to the reader. Too many friends, so little time. ❤

I’ve toyed with doing that too. Ages ago I set up lists intending to use that reader capacity to organise who was on what. Then check each list to see what folk were doing. Must look back into that as I think WP changed its functionality!

I created a separate one just for the blog. If I miss a day it fills with hundreds. Rather pointless as I just have to mass delete lol
