DOG DAYS
Posting will be light at Diary Poems for the next month while I’m reading, traveling, and refilling the well.
You’ll still find new posts on FEATURED POET Day (nearly every Monday), and you can browse that archive here.
I may turn up from time to time with a poem of my own. (That’s not a promise, or a threat.) Mostly I’ll be on Substack Notes if I’m on this platform at all.
There’s also the Diary Poems archive, if you’re so inclined—“Years of Days of Poems,” as this publication’s short description has it.
As always, if you are experiencing a poetry emergency, call 917-994-8949.
1963 copyright for the song? I think I had my first transistor radio in a fake leather case with a handle. It seemed magical to have music always at hand.
Refill the well—have a lovely time traveling etc.
