Pine Barrens Poet
Even though I did watch Twin peaks, my first thought was, of course, Audrey Hepburn.

By the way, if anyone on #PoemsAbout #NoFuture @thebrokenspine.co.uk was wondering how my puppy, Audrey, got her name, my son is a huge Twin Peaks fan. A boy dog would have been Bishop.

Yes, we are living through that no future!

I will post a special reading in the comments. I am on new puppy time this week, so it may take me a while to get to all of the poetry. Cheers!

Received issue #82 of Presence haiku journal. So psyched to have a # haiku in this fantastic journal.

I don’t usually post #PoemsAbout @thebrokenspine.co.uk this early, but I’m taking some antihistamines and may sleep through a good portion of the night, or not. Will post a reel for #DogTags in the comments.

Do you know telephone meditation? I found it in Happiness, by Thich Nhat Hanh. I shortened it for everyday use. When the phone rings I say I “calm” and on the second ring I say “smile,” then I answer. It worked so well when I was still working an office job. It works! I encouraged my staff to do it.

Unless I am bingeing old videos late at night for nostalgia, I rarely listen to music not released in the current year. Every January, I open a new playlist and add songs that catch my attention as they are released. My 2025 playlist is at 83 songs right now. I play chunks here and there.

The meteor or ufo is in the upper right corner just before the little one jumps.

Thank you, Frank. This poem bubbled up from the subconscious and I never really felt in control. Something really struck me when I saw the logo on the boot in the photos on the internet.

Did you see the Trump FAA’s new anti-woke air safety instructions and the guidelines to disable masks for anyone who won’t sign a loyalty pledge?

Children’s masks then and now…

Due to the numbet of quotes, I might consider this a found poem. I will put a link to the video/commentary in the comments.
