Tea. [Iced, during the warm weather. Hot, when it's cold outside.]

Films. [Jeunet, Wes Anderson, Ari Aster, A24, Cartoon Saloon, Studio Ghibli…]

Music. [Einaudi, Yann Tiersen, Of Monsters and Men…]

Spontaneous trips with friends. [Like where are we going, what are we up to? No one knows. Oh, we're here. What is this place? Oh, there's a cat. Suddenly there's a drink in our hand. Oh, let me take a photo of the cat.]

(i'm glad to hear this. hope you like it!)

L. V., writing in the dark (pt. 6: because i don't know what to do with all this light)

your page is like going to a museum; each post like a painting. Specifically the ones you weave your poems with classical paintings. i can go over the details for a long while. it feels like taking a magnifying glass to a miniature work of art to fully appreciate the little touches; and when i step back, i see the whole painting -- the bigger picture. thank you for the experience.

This is far too lovely. Thank you, dear stranger. You made my heart feel a little less heavy today.

L. V., i found this poem in the right place at the right time with the right people

L. V., i found this poem stuck between my therapist's teeth

L. V., i found this poem scribbled on an old receipt

You're too kind, thank you! And YOU write so beautifully. Will be going through everyone's poetry as soon as I find free time—with my cup of tea.

Do you have any poets whos stuff you think i should give a read?

ABSOLUTELY!

First and foremost, everything that @randomshowerpoems has written himself. And @literaryvein has AMAZING poems as well. @most-ment too. And @accordingtolauren .

Then. Robert Frost, Harry Baker, Gregory Orr.

Would you like some individual poems as well?

L. V., still don't know the secret 6 years later

maybe you don't need anyone to share them with

Took me a while to realise you were referring to this post.

...but what if I want someone to share the happiness with?
