@pswordwoman It was great! I have been reworking some poems based on your content. I think my avoidance of meter has been detrimental to my work, so I appreciated that you brought that up at the end. I’m working on it and gauging my resistance as I try to work on metrical exercises.

@WVGovernor Your comments on our only Black president not being welcome in West Virginia at a moment when Black people across the nation are in pain is beyond insensitive, beyond incendiary. How dare you speak for the people of color in this state. #BlackLivesMatter #SmithForWV

@BarackObama, happiest of birthdays to you. You are the greatest president of my lifetime and a brilliant and compassionate human being. I hope you and Michelle have something fun planned. Live long and prosper, Mr. President. 🖖🏾
