For last week's Wednesday Poetry Prompt, I prompted people to write a pivot poem. Here's what I wrote as an example.

I don't want to say that I predicted Pope Leo XIV, but you can find this poem in my Solving the World's Problems collection. It's the only poem in the collection with an epigraph.

My poem for #WorldBookDay dedicated to the lovely #bookmark, in all its forms.

There's never a bad time to write about love.

Received this in my inbox this morning. Actually started as an unpaid intern (for college credit) a little more than a month earlier, but I've been with the Writer's Digest writing community (in one role or another) the entire time...and wouldn't mind going for another 25, if that's an option.

Every Wednesday morning, I share a #poetry #prompt and my own hastily scribbled attempt at a #poem on the Writer's Digest site. It's fun, free, and a good place to connect with other #poets in the comments section.

This week's prompt is to write a math poem.

Congratulations to Dennis James Sweeney on the publication of How to Submit: Getting Your Writing Published with Literary Magazines and Small Presses!

I appreciate being asked to blurb this book that does a great job of breaking down the process.

I learned this morning I'm officially traveling to #Italy, #Florence + #Tuscany, for Writer's Digest's first ever writing tour (with WD EIC Amy Jones) this May.

Even though #travel gives me great anxiety, I'm excited for this new adventure.

Earlier this morning, I did my final scheduled run of January. So I finished with 58 miles for the month after next to nothing for the past few years. For me, I feel like a major part of me is missing when I'm not running. So it feels good to have a major part of myself back.

We got some significant snow in Suwanee, GA, for the first time in years (some neighbors said maybe 2019). So we decided to start a new family of snow people.
