I have made blackout on my 1-1-23 card for the Public Domain Day Bingo fest. \o/ This month my Poetry Fishbowl theme was "Short Forms" and a lot of these are already sponsored and posted so you can see them. :D A bunch are haiku, so those are cited by their first line. I also launched a new series, A Poesy of Obscure Sorrows, and two of out of those three poems are already up.

I really enjoyed this fest and would love to see it repeated in the future, since it'll never be the same twice as new works get released.
