Poets can submit up to 4 micro poems of 50 words each, or one poem no longer than 15 lines.”

A weekend busy with work, but I managed to finish the prep for all five of the classes I’m teaching this semester. I also got meal prep done for the week, and got a jump on a project not due for a couple of weeks. Feeling all kinds of adult-prepared right now 🙂
Make art about being ready.

Make art about rest, about the struggle to rest, about your restful place, about finding real rest.

I love thrift and second hand stores. Not only does thrifting feel like a treasure hunt, but it’s good for the planet. After a rough couple of weeks, I rewarded myself by doing a little thrift shopping yesterday.
