Writing the DayWriting the Day PodcastsThis month I started doing some short podcasts of some of the recent poems on this site.
I don’t know if there will be any interest in hearing the poems but I’ll give it a few months. It’s not a very difficult process using Anchor and they are available for you on Spotify.
I am adding some other podcast services and so Writing the Day is also available on Google Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and RadioPublic.
I hope you check them out. Leave a comment and let me know what you think...

Writing the DaySeven Thousand Red Leaves

painted leaves, inked branches, white paper sky.

where every line counts as seven beats.
