  1. An eight-point buck struts through the neck-high meadow, stirring up sparrows and goldenrod fluff, lifting his tail to shit while he walks.
  2. Tinywords, a journal of #micropoetry, is now accepting submissions: http://is.gd/4S1Ju Deadline is Nov. 24. !poetry
  3. After a warm night, half the lilac's leaves are brown and curling. What is it about warmth this time of year that makes it so debilitating?
  4. Pamela Johnson Parker interview at Read Write Poem: http://is.gd/4QZfS Fascinating answer to the question, "Can !poetry save the world?"
  5. A squirrel places a walnut in a small high crotch in the lilac and departs, like the Andrew Goldsworthy of squirrels. A junco lands, looks.
  6. Halfway up the ridge, a dangling oak limb broken by last month's snowstorm suddenly crashes to the ground, still clinging to its leaves.
  7. Did I really just spend three hours trying to figure one minor tweak to the Morning Porch blog? I did. Alas for the lost morning.
  8. @Graceriver I envy you that view.
  9. !listening to the latest podcast episode from @tmcamp -- wish more online writers did this sort of thing.
  10. I knew it would happen -- I'm starting to post to the wrong Twitter and Identica accounts. I only have seven!
  11. The latched door beneath the porch stands ajar. I step gingerly through the frost-edged blades of grass, carrying my coffee like a lamp.
  12. Please follow @treebloggers for updates on the Festival of the Trees, the blog carnival for all things treeish. (My 4th Twitter account!)
  13. Shadows of bare branches on the stark white side of my house like a portent of winter. A flock of 13 geese splits, re-forms, makes a U-turn.
  14. @JSAbsher It does sound Issa-esque.
  15. @bethwestmark I think that's just a quote from the Talking Heads.
  16. @JSAbsher You're on a roll! Good stuff.
  17. RD @ovpaul !poetry nerdgasm of the day: Raymond Queneau's Hundred Thousand Billion Poems -- interactive! http://ping.fm/6pFjY [Far out!]
  18. @3rdhouse Thank you. Glad we were finally able to lure you onto Twitter, as well.
  19. @nancygandhi Thanks, Nancy!
  20. @alembic Thanks! Ironically, today I was out of coffee for the first time in forever, and was reduced to drinking strong tea.
