Things I've learned about my poetry habits today:

1. I've shared the same poem/quote three times in three separate years, each time as if it was the first.

2. I once wrote a weird haiku about Michelle Obama and the Queen hugging?! ("I have no memory of this place.")

3. There were a few other poems I missed this morning, and I found that one I was thinking of about women meeting in the bathroom.

*This Vote Is Legally Binding, by T.Kingfisher
Yes, of course, all women know each other,
the way you always suspected.

*Wandering Around an Albuquerque Airport Terminal, by Naomi Shihab Nye
And I looked around that gate of late and weary ones and thought,
this is the world I want to live in. The shared world.

*Sometimes it hurts when people scorn internet culture, by Shiv
It would mean a second by second update of
“I love you”
“I’m scared”
“Are you all right?”
“Stay close”
“Be brave”

*What You Can, by Hanne Blank
You did it while you dialed that phone number that time, and waited for “hello?”

A very belated thank you for posting this - I'd seen a couple before but they were great to re-read - and a couple were new. :D
