@tinywrenlit I enjoyed TINY WREN LIT, ISSUE 6. In particular, I appreciated WILD BLUEBERRRIES GROW, by: LAURIE KOENSGEN @EkeLore. I liked it so much that I linked it to my WEEKEND READS site https://t.co/uMS4Wvs7WE. Hopefully, this will draw additional readers. – Shawn D. Brink, Author

Beautiful poem, @FrancesBoyle19! "...The echoes shift aside the icy mist/ that scours the sun..."
I'm delighted to have a poem in the "long lost" issue of the Honest Ulsterman. Worth the wait indeed, to see my work in such great company!

A hauntingly beautiful poem by @VWC_Writes:
NEW POEM #133: "How We Save Others Whilst Dying" by Vikki C. (@VWC_Writes) "Where we keep falling in love through wet carriage windows / — the yellow flax beyond, giving flame to a coldness we could not hold." https://t.co/KZ9gkafKni

Before I was councillor for Ward 9, I was president of @TrendArlington. In 2018 we got hit by a tornado. The community organized and fundraised to get this new outdoor pavilion, and an exciting public art piece to go with it. @PublicArtOttawa is looking for input!
The City of Ottawa is commissioning an artwork for the new Trend-Arlington Pavilion and is asking for your input. Survey 👉 https://t.co/F4dPPkA8SQ
