Next up for my #PoemADay challenge; note also my bookmark listing every collection title since I started this personal project. By Jan 1 of 2026, that makes 365x5=1,825 poems! Probably more, I often can‘t stop at one, tho I missed some (not many!) days too.

#OOTD (Day 3) If you want to read this narrative poem and follow along, look for the #OOTD hashtag for the previous poems. 🧡💜💛

Cuilin I guess I need to add this book to my Goodreads so that I can count it in the total number of books I‘ve read this year. 💛 2mo

dabbe @Cuilin YAY! 💛💜🧡 2mo

Gonna try something different. This book is in my top five faves of ALL TIME. It's a narrative book of poetry that takes place during the Dust Bowl. If interested, read along. I don't see how you won't fall in love with Billie Jo. By the time I stop posting, you'll have read another book for those of you who keep track of that stuff. #winwin #ifyouwant
