Been a bit since I posted about my daily October poems; this week I started doing sci-fi/fantasy poems like an elegy to a fallen knight elizabethdoman.com?p=950 or a cinquain on manlfunctioning spaceships elizabethdoman.com?p=929. There are poems on colors, moving, and a few more sff ones there too.

elizabethdoman.com?p=910 Today's poem was an ode to my hands. Losing use of them is one of my biggest fears 😅 so this might have been inspired by the fact that I was supposed to see a doctor for possible carpal tunnel today. (appt shifted to next week)

I like yesterday's sonnet about clocks; today's poem was a quick haiku offering of "I ran out of time." Still enjoying my poem-a-day challenge for the month I gave myself. elizabethdoman.com?p=901

elizabethdoman.com?p=890 I made an echo poem about Echo and I'm very pleased with myself

elizabethdoman.com?p=886 Today's poem is a reaction/description to a pastel sketch of daffodils and violets by Millet.

Daily poems continue! A sonnet where I've been trying to write a sonnet and having trouble: elizabethdoman.com?p=855 Princess and the Pea in verse: elizabethdoman.com?p=864 Finding magic elizabethdoman.com?p=874

elizabethdoman.com?p=859 The world's a mess, here's an elegy to a houseplant to make you smile

Continuing poems on my site; I've done an echo poem, villanelle, free verse, and limerick in the last little while. elizabethdoman.com?p=836 elizabethdoman.com?p=844 Fun note, tomorrow's poem (9 am Central US) will be my 100th post.

I should stop doomscrolling. And you should read my poem! Second in my effort to do a poem a day for October! It's about the most cliched topic. Love? No, don't be silly, it's writer's block. elizabethdoman.com?p=826

Trying a poem-a-day for October on my website. First one goes up 9 am today. elizabethdoman.com?p=823

The youngest, watching me play games with husband's family online and hearing the associated banter: "Why don't you give your king a heart?" "Nope, I already gave my heart to daddy." "So you don't have a life anymore?" No, because I died laughing.

The kids started joking about feeding the toy turtle the 4-y-o got Grandma for her birthday. If it wasn't fed, they told us a turtlepocalypse would come. Never one to leave well enough alone, or for that matter discourage silly worldbuilding in my kids..

With the demise of Joann's, I'm going to share a few online resources I've found. It's by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it helps folks find what they need. 🧵

I'm gonna make a thread for all my Muppet Princess Bride art for the Bluesky crowd! First up is the poster I made #MuppetPrincessBride #Kermit #MissPiggy

elizabethdoman.com?p=387 Made up a new feature for my blog this year and I'm pretty tickled with myself. Enjoy Santa Nessie.

Today my kids told me the "cleaning fairies" would help with the chores in exchange for popsicles. Later, I gave the kids popsicles but told them to pass them on to the fairies. The 6-y-o told me "Oh, they don't need them." I had to tell her we DO NOT reneg on deals to the fae. Or else.

If you see this, post a dragon or few from your portfolio 🐉 This is my fairy rogue's familiar, Magpie, and a cockatrice I did with a scheme in mind. Hopefully it'll show up again before too long... There's also my profile dice dragon.

I'm preparing to delete my account because someone used it to buy iTunes cards and when I said it was fraudulent they denied my claim and said it was in line with my usual charges even though I only use it on rare occasions to send friends money. It's so insecure.

Turned in my mail-in ballot today! Just wanna brag. Now I can ignore all the political mail and texts! You know, like I hadn't made up my mind before they all came in.

Today at bedtime my 6-year-old told me her koala bear family is stargazing together, looking up to find the constellation of their grandma who is dead and that's all they have left of her. I find it sweet, melancholy, and mildly bemusing. (I'd like to point out both of her grandmas are fine.)

Libro.fm is rad. 100 percent recommend. I have not looked back.

If ever there was a man temperamentally suited to it… Which reminds me of the absolutely stellar comic with him and Thor.

I find myself caught in a great conflict. I must either apprehend or protect the chosen one, to either resurrect an entire species or stop an oncoming war. My decision is withheld until I see how the opposing advocates brush their teeth. I'm so proud of my kids. They're making up lore.

Just found out about #savestartrekLowerDecks . Went and bought Season 4 in honor. (We own the other ones already.) This is my favorite Star Trek as a member of a Star Trek family growing up. I need more than 5 seasons!!

@thirdchildart.bsky.social Found this the other day and thought of you.

Hey I'm older now! *insert balloon* Also I have the baby version of a website now. elizabethdoman.com I haven't worked on the setup of it much but I have made posts so I guess I can tell people it exists.

I have the weirdest dreams last night. Yesterday included ghosts, foreshadowing, flashbacks, and whole narrative arcs. I can't entirely explain the plot but it involved a family intentionally phasing into a different realm where they were only visible to people who could see ghosts.
