Submitted work today after a bit of a pause. I've still been writing, but I did take a break from The Grind for November. Mostly because I have been working the 9-5 slave of late, new semester in school, and having an over abundance of migraine headaches.
Reading has not helped, the headaches I mean. I am one away from my annual goal of books read and I will update those titles at the end of the year. The big change this year has been more non-poetry titles. Even though my favorite reads are still poetry, memoir, and biography. Go figure. We've lost too many significant people this year. Poets Louise Gluck, Charles Simic, Milan Kundera. Matthew Perry from friends was a really hard one. David Crosby, Tony Bennett, Tina Turner, Harry Belafonte, Suzanne Summers, Diane Feinstein Daniel Ellsberg, Bert Bacharach, Raquel Welch, Cindy Williams, and Lisa Marie Presley, Sir Michael Gambon, Brooks Robinson, Vida Blue, Gordon Lightfoot, Wayne Shorter, Traute Lafrenz, and Bobby Hull. Poets, politicians, baseball stars, actors, actresses, musicians, individuals who stood out in times great human strife. I'm sure nor all, and we've got till the end of the year, yet. Perhaps the good Lord above will spare us more losses. THOUGHT FOR TODAY The only journey is the one within. Rainer Maria Rilke #2023 Deaths. #RikeQuote #Update

Started taking the dog out. The rabbits came close to rifeling through the trash. Post man delivered more waste and It will soon be filling up the can. I can't see how this helps the economy. Oh wait, you were talking about the environment. The cones on the street are back. More highway work. More traffic backup. God, I'm hungry for a stake. Did they finally get that old vampire? Drive a stake through the heart.
I'm sure that the baseball season ending will be cause for massive depression. I can't see a way out of it till next spring. I'll have two dips of blackwalnut please. She called me sunshine. That hasn't happened in a while. I mean it's been pretty cloudy since she left. I'm hopeful that the nation gets itself back together. That will mean we have to get over you know who. I'm so ready to be over him, I can't fathom how much peace we could have if people would let lose of him. His day will come. Not any too soon either. Iit was light out when I last looked outside, Hope it is whne I leave. I'm ready to get out of this place anytime..... The birds, it's all about the birds. They are going places this fall. More cars whitewashed as we drive about Art is a documentation of the human experience–of the many moments, mundane and profound, that shape our identity. At the Seraphic Review, we seek to trace back our journey through life and revisit the ethereal. 
Excited to report 2 new poem acceptances this past week!
