That sounds brilliant. I'll have to try and get gumption to do a #CuppaLin recording just to read it how I mean it and see if it's like how you hear it, eh 🤔

Appreciated. I might read tomorrow at the open mic hosted Broken Spines or record it at least for a #cuppalin video. Haven't done one of those in a while. 🤔

Anyway, thank you for the kind words and the repost ☺️

So I figured I'd try recording this one again. I was reminded of it when I posted the last one for #PoemsAbout. It's an oldy goldy from like 2008, I think. Anyway, best wishes. Enjoy your double shot of #CuppaLin today 🤗

This took an embarrassingly long time to write and record, because I kept crying thru every stanza break and retake. For my sister. 💖

Yeeessss! Ditto ditto.

Omg remind me, this one and/or tariff the tyranny I should do for the next #CuppaLin. Or do one and save the other for the reading. 🤔

And I'll try not to be in pj's for the next one... try being the operative word 😝

And now for a surprise morning #CuppaLin. Just starting my day. Wishing you and yours all the best. 🤗

Then again... I do have quite a few bathrobes and an inordinate amount of coffee mugs, very in spirit with the #CuppaLin "vibe."

Could be funny if the only time you see me properly put together is for readings, or when I'm making goofy faces doing #lunchbreakbookclub 🤔

Tentatively titled "So you're like a crazy person?" But I DID the thing. Figured if I started out looking hair amess, makeupless, in my star trek bathrobe, every other video recording after will be fantastic by comparison. Anyway, enjoy ☕️🤗

Out of it in a series of videos, like I'm reading to you from my living room with a cup of morning coffee or afternoon tea.

Call it having a #cuppaLin or a #CuppaWithLin. Something like that. Not sure I'm there yet, but we'll see how the journey goes.

Thanks again, thought hugs and all that 🤗
