Stopped by the Wordsworth museum on my UK trip and spent some poetry time in the Dove Cottage garden #OurPoetryX #AroundTheWorld #BlueSkyPoets
Photo of a cottage garden with text of the poem "A Cottage Visit" by Pauline Altman. 

A puff of purple past the green, 
stood up proudly for the bees, 
And made me ask why ones at home, 
were not as calm as these.
but then I heard the flower song
conversing with the trees.

Somewhere five thousand miles away, 
a house much sized as this, 
has given way to low cut grass, 
left pollen's scent mere wish. 
I have much work in coming weeks 
to recreate this bliss.

An image of the poem "Nonsense Poetry" by Pauline Altman.

Nonsense got the best of me, 
Stick around and you will see. 
I slipped on air and grew dead leaves, 
'cause nonsense got the best of me.

Image of the poem "Stopping By for a Snack" by Pauline Altman. 

A carrot lost its top again To a great recipe. The beets had warned that summer nights Might leave them diced with peas. The corn bent down to offer Kindly advice to their roots. The onions nearby grumbled At the status of their shoots. And somewhere deep beneath These many busy rolling rows, Potato plants were humming So the squash nearby would grow. 

In quiet feathered flurry Of emotion landing sound, A brave, big hearted crow Approached another on the ground. And oh the greatest tragedy Of this farm did unfold (It's not the overcrowding
Or that beets can be too bold), But that all of the offerings Can lead to loudly crunch, And the crow could not hear love professed Over sound of his own lunch.

Go listen to @dodoborne.com even if you know nothing about Daggerheart. It's such a fun (and sometimes heartbreaking) show and I've been having a great time catching up on episodes on my commute!

Had such a fun/ successful Gen Con learning about (and practicing) better GMing, better networking, and breaking free of comfort zones. Left with a big creative boost that was definitely needed.
