Happy National Poetry Month! Here's my first #April3030 prompt (I'll use this hashtag throughout the month) Imagine a factory that, in various strange and surreal ways, manufactures sadness. Now write a poem cataloguing reasons for required maintenance at the sadness factory. Be weird!

April 30/30 - Prompt the First

Reasons for Required Maintenance at the Sadness Factory

Assembly line clogged with magnolia blossoms

The foreman dreamed of an orange Corvette

A perfect cup of coffee was found tucked into the gears of the mourning-shaper

For days the wailing machine spun mothers' lullabies instead

This rainbow appeared over the ocean as the rain moved in. I hiked 7.6 miles and got absolutely soaked by the storm. 100% worth it.

That late-winter light. Dang.

Working hard to befriend the neighborhood murder of crows. Leaving them unshelled peanuts each day, hoping they will do my bidding by springtime.

Wishing you all some peace today. 💙

I always have a handful of stories and poems in progress. I like being able to jump between them, tap into these different worlds, different characters. I just dove back into a short story I started a few years ago—and found my way into a new scene. Sometimes it feels like magic.

I’ve been plodding along on this novella for [redacted], but tonight was the first time in a while I read through all 50 pages. And, honestly, damn: It’s pretty good.

One of my favorite poems published in Frigg Magazine.

I have literally received three rejections in the last two hours. Is today a clear-the-queue day or something?!

If you’re in a place with a clear night sky, do yourself a favor: Step outside and look northward. The Quadrantids peak tonight, and you’ll likely see something beautiful.

I’m here to remind you that if you need to regulate your nervous system, there’s hardly a better choice than The Great British Baking Show.

Alternate idea: These folks share recipes for free, and they create a narrative to support them. You can always hit the “Jump to Recipe” button. 🫶🏼

Chicken-fried tofu, mashed potatoes, country gravy, stuffing, green beans, maple-roasted carrots, orange cranberry sauce, dinner roll. All vegan. Nine hours in the kitchen. 😉

One thing I love about this wild and precious life is how I’ll never buy an AI-created book for the rest of my life until I’m fucking dead, amen.
