thescotchsonnet.bsky.social @thescotchsonnet.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I submitted variations of this effort to a few publications but I guess it never made the cut. Nevermind, that's just how it goes I guess. So off you go my wee ramblings, out into the void you go. Run free! 000 0

thescotchsonnet.bsky.social @thescotchsonnet.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Not a lot of time today to write anything from scratch. Here is one I wrote about 5 years ago. Turns out it took almost as long to tweak an old one as it did to write from scratch. I know tautologically named geographical features are quite common but the thought of it gives me a chuckle. #poetry 021 0
