I post my poetry on mastodon, sometimes. I dare say it's probably the best response I've ever gotten on my poetry, and also it's probably gone to my head a little. Last week, I even put together a booklet of my poems! I sent it to a local POD publisher and got a copy for myself. It's shipped, but I haven't received it yet (still need to figure out how to pay the bill for that).
I'm not sure I did it right; the program I'm using is set to mandarin because I've got mandarin installed on the computer, but I don't actually know enough mandarin to change that setting. So I kind of had to just... go through all the options until I finally had a file the publisher would accept. *sweat*
So the pages might all be blank or out of order, lol.
It was very cheap though, so I'm not worried about it~
When it comes to poetry, too, I think it's easy in a way that writing prose isn't. Maybe that's because I sing my poetry as I'm writing them, over and over again, so it rhymes and comes quite easily. I like it, but I'm not gonna claim being *good* at it. ...I'm not bad though!
All in all, I'm very happy that folk seem to like my poetry on mastodon, so I'll keep posting new ones. I might even post some here?
