I've just paid $10 for "The Cybernetic Sorcerers" by YsabetWordsmith -- you can get yours at The Wordsmith's Forge - Unsold Poetry from the October 2-3, 2012 Poetry Fishbowl. Ysabet is my favorite web poet, by far. Check out her Serial Poetry page and you'll get some idea of why.
So... a pretty good day. Ok, a good day -- it doesn't need the qualifier. It started with a Hawaiian word: 'ohana, which means "family in an extended sense of the term including blood-related, adoptive or intentional." I like it. Thanks, Callie!
I took a walk, going West on McClellan for a change, which quickly took me into the quiet residential area of Monta Vista. It's quiet enough that I'll be able to make phone calls (if I can ever get back into that habit).
I work with cool people. $BOSS sent me a link in email with the subject "best WolframAlpha answer ever".
And best of all, I put in this prompt on ![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
ysabetwordsmith's
poetry fishbowl, and got the poem "Afterlove". Ame liked it, too. I think that's my
first-ever poetry prompt (unless I'm just being a forgetful old bear), so
it's kinda special.
A few other links in the
( raw notes ) Now that she's made the public announcement, I can point you at my dear friend pocketnaomi's shiny new website, PocketPoems.net. As
webmaster perpetrator, any gaffes in the layout or
HTML coding are mine, as is any delay in getting it from a
hastily-thrown-up single page to an intricate and beautiful site more
worthy of her poetic talents.
Go and buy yourself or someone you love a poem. You'll be glad you did.
