I subscribe to two daily poetry email lists: the Poem of the Day from the Poetry Foundation and Poem-a-Day from Poets.org.
A recent Poem of the Day was Tell the Bees by Sarah Lindsay, which intrigued me enough to go look at some of her other works.
Like a lot of people, I'm not always sure what to do in any given situation to avoid getting or transmitting the COVID-19 virus.

I am quite tickled at the idea of a spaceship-sized Pez dispenser dropping satellites into space.
... because the last time my mom visited, she was wondering about the city's wild parrots.
