unexpected emergencies have made this #2daypoem2026 weekend very complicated and hectic but i already have a first draft! which is much more than i can say for previous years. it features costco hotdogs somehow...
once again blocked from entering CV2's #2daypoemcontest by law exams!!!! this time it's the bar exam but STILL. i want to POEM instead 😭
Thank you to @eventmags.bsky.social for publishing two of my lil poems! What a privilege it is to be read so carefully and kindly. This piece in particular was written in the heat two summers ago and she's finally found her home 🌊
rejection streak is FINALLY over!!! and it was my first multi-poem acceptance 🥹🥹
lots of tiered rejections lately so my streak continues 🙈 hard to keep pushing forward but will try to do so
also i got married two days ago or whatever 🤭💐
picking up two cats today!! 🥹🥹🥹
i have FIVE submissions in progress right now. this is practically a miracle and has never occured before LOL (i should probably sub more)
absolutely despise the fact that AI users are flooding cross stitch patterns on etsy now 🙃🙃🙃

I love my echo chamber where everyone values the humanity of other people and enjoys the arts.

I'll be finishing my last final ever tomorrow(!!) then jumping right into these words 👀 Hypocorism is definitely going to be a problem child hahah
Ready, Set, Write! Thank you for joining the 2025 2-Day Poem Contest. This year's words are agglomerate, shell, milquetoast, notwithstanding, tangerine, sable, quadruple, zip, hypocorism, and moon! We're so excited to see the weird and wonderful poems you'll write over the next 48 hours!
Nothing makes me more productive in submitting poetry than studying for exams ‼️ two subs done today
Someone on twt gave me a prompt for a golden shovel about the body and with a two word title FOUR YEARS AGO. i finally finished the poem after thinking about it and attempting to write it for aaaaages 🫡
I know the "in-progress" status change means NOTHING on submittable but it still gives me a lil thrill
Happy birthday, CV2! So delighted to get my contributor's copy today. This piece still feels a little too raw to share on my other socials, but bsky and canlit friends are always a safe space. Hopefully the first of many ⚖️ poems to come!
mustered up the courage to submit to two dream mags today 🥹🙏🏻
Hi friends, is anyone willing to chat with me about submitting chapbooks? I've never done it before so would really appreciate some insight!! Particularly re: Canadian presses 🥰🙏🏻
