An acceptance today from @major7mag.bsky.social for my poem after Me & Bobby McGee. Thanks Kirsti!
The idea came from something a friend told me once. After a breakup, she told me not to fret--he was just my Bobby McGee. In other words, puppy love!
I love M7 and so it’s especially exciting to see Basking in Glory included in today’s Friday 5 !! Go check out Major 7th for some of the most interesting and exciting music writing!
