Hello friends,

Welcome to the new look! ;-)

After all of two emails, I have decided to use Substack as I continue sending you my current publishing links. This will be considerably easier than setting the links separately, one by one, in each email. This is my first foray into using an email list, so I was certain there would be quite a few things to learn! This is the first one: use a dedicated email publisher.

I am excited to try Substack because it will give me more options than simply using Gmail. In this ‘post and email’ format, my newsletters will more easily become just that - newsletters, complete with links. But they are still here for the same purpose, which is to ensure that you have direct access to my latest work on Medium.com.

For this week I have continued posting poetry; it is a joy to return to this form after only sporadically visiting it for many years.

  1. At Dusk, a poem in sonnet-form

  2. September, written almost as a child’s poem

  3. One Inch at a Time, essentially another update on my own experiences adjusting to my new life.

  4. Symphony in Farm Country, a free verse poem written just last night to express the cacophony of noises after dusk here in the green fields. Had I waited a little longer, there would have been frogs in that symphony as well, but they had not yet tuned up when I began writing.

September is the poem I had most qualms about even publishing. Its rhymed lines are not merely rhymed, but the words themselves are repeated. I felt that it probably, perhaps, maybe, would work; and at any rate, the poem was going nowhere without the intense repetition. But that was the most I could say! It has been well received on Medium thus far — which just goes to show… ;-)

Wishing all of you a beautiful week!

Amy Myers
