Hooray! @littlethoughtspress.com just launched Issue 12: Better Together (www.littlethoughtspress.com). Be sure to check out pages 40-42, on which you will find poems by two of my critique partners: @pjpurtee.bsky.social and @davidmcmullin.bsky.social. (My poem is on page 33!)

We could spend all day quibbling (or kwibbling) about how certain words SHOULD be spelled, but there's no denying that Mike Flowers' poem, Quibble, is positively delightful! Check it out in Issue 11: Stirring Words, available in print & pdf. www.littlethoughtspress.com/issues

Today, Little Thoughts Press @littlethoughtspress.com launches Issue 12: Better Together. This issue is extra fun for me. Poems from two of my Rhyme Time buddies, @davidmcmullin.bsky.social & @sarahhetu.bsky.social, are published in this issue! One of mine is in there, too.
