PLOMH: October Update

Hello poetry enthusiasts! This month’s check in is gonna be a bit shorter than most other check ins. And that’s because I did almost nothing! I wrote two poems in October. Two. One of them was a poetic form I hadn’t tried before (trilinea) so that’s at least a bit of progress on two fronts!…
