Today's #DailySFFPoem: “The Old Vagabond Club” by Marisca Pichette in @kaleidotrope.bsky.social. I just find the word 'vagabond' very evocative, which made me pick this poem today.

Today's #DailySFFPoem: A Mermaid Looks at 40 by Fran Wilde in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social. The Little Mermaid 20+ years on. It definitely got Jimmy Buffet stuck in my head.

Well, you get a second #DailySFFPoem from me today. "AITA for Killing All the Humans?" by Jenna Hanchey in @asimovssfmag.bsky.social. Right now, this one requires reaching out to the author for a review copy (which she's happy to share!). I am too online, so that title was catnip for me. :)

Today's #DailySFFPoem: Your Cause and Your Effect by Ian Li in @smallwondersmag.com. A student addressing a teacher who made space for them. The ending is quite nice.

Today's #DailySFFPoem: Noticed a poem by the same author as the short story I read today and decided to go for it. Straw Gold by Mari Ness in @smallwondersmag.com. Rumpelstiltskin inspired. I quite enjoyed it.

Today's #DailySFFPoem: Shapeshifting Recovery Staff by Bogi Takács in @nightmare-magazine.com. About using magic to reshape and rehabilitate. Very visceral language. The author said e wanted to explore uses of magic unrelated to war, which I appreciate as a goal!
