In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines

My poem "Taking the Auspices" has been accepted by inkscrawl. Considering I wrote it about two hours ago for cucumberseed and asakiyume, this is one of the better turnarounds I've encountered. It is my first sale there.

Versification is a review site devoted entirely to speculative poetry. They went up a few days ago and are so far producing thoughtful work. Go and make them feel loved.

I did not sleep last night, either, but I saw my oldest childhood friend married this morning, and that was very neat. Also it turns out a pizza with nothing on it but tomatoes and zucchini is delicious.

Thank you!

It was a good wedding. I like those.

Sleep well tonight.

I don't feel any more rested, but I did sleep more than four hours . . .

That's excellent! Congratulations!

(also congratulations to your friend)

I hope you have found sleep and sleep does not scorn you, for you have kicked all the asses, and sleep needs to recognize.

That's excellent! Congratulations!

I'm quite happy about it!

Will pass on.

I hope you have found sleep and sleep does not scorn you, for you have kicked all the asses, and sleep needs to recognize.

Thank you. That is a badass benison.

That poem is delicious and so perfect for cucumberseed's world, with its Shokkals and haruspex ...es? (What's the plural of "haruspex"?)

May all August scents and flowers bless your friend's marriage.

Haruspices.

Amen to that blessing.

Haru - species :-)

"Haru" means "spring" (the season) in Japanese, so interesting concepts occur. Haruspices, springtime diviners...

... not that there's anything especially springtime-like about their methods...

(What's the plural of "haruspex"?)

Haruspices. It's a third-declension noun.

May all August scents and flowers bless your friend's marriage.

That's lovely. I shall tell him.

Delighted to hear of the acceptance!

And congratulations to your friend!

Interesting. I'll hold that in mind. I imagine it needs very good tomatoes.

I'm sorry for the lack of sleep, and I hope you've had more of it since.
