Proud of my Herculean efforts to fix/clean/improve @iambapoet.com over the past two weeks. I'd feared the amount that needed doing would take an absolute age. But, by being a little smart about things, I've managed to reduce the site's 'weight' by 100+ pages ... without sacrificing any poet's work!
Not one for regrets (seriously, I don't have a single one – though I am sorry for a great many things), but I do often wish I'd taken ecstasy when the 90s club culture was in full effect. Or, y'know, at any time since, really. Love to know how it is to feel THAT connected to everyone and everything.

If the 1487 items I've just deleted from its history are anything to go by, my PC's clipboard app is unquestionably my most used. Who knew?

At the risk of patting myself on the back, I do feel poets who appear in online publications should perhaps appreciate journals like @iambapoet.com and @afterpoetry.com a little more than they do. I've maintained both diligently, while other titles have vanished ... taking authors' work with them.

No secret sauce – just all the right ingredients: talent, talent and more talent.

Winter arrives beneath the cloak of the old blue-faced one. She moves over hills, through woods, in shadow. Tightening the land with frost. Shaping the weather. Come in out of the dark to where poems gather like embers. Listen and drink in the latest wave of @iambapoet.com.
