Loved this. And as someone who writes a lot of lyrics, I relate to it wholeheartedly.

Sounds like there's some song-writing going on I might like to know about? :)

Poet George Bilgere has a daily poem subscription. Those who sign up, like me, get a daily poem and why George chose it. I don't always read them everyday, though I love the idea of starting each morning that way...

Eventually I search George Bilgere in my email box and spend a half an hour or so getting caught up. It's a wonderful gift to give oneself.

I love this! I'll have to look him up. Do you ever listen to Poetry Unbound? It's kind of the same concept. @poetryunbound

Oh, I love Pádraig Ó Tuama! He used to do the newsletter for On Being. I heard him speak about a year and a half ago at the Wick Poetry Center's anniversary event (I can't remember how old the center is, ha!).

I could listen to him all day and all night and forever
