Have never felt better in my life March 2025

MyStrawHat.com


15-16 #poetry books on mystrawhat.com +other stuff 

B the way a few #books formats jacked in  the beginning of new e-day media days so the actual poetry is beneath the e-mails sections (for other media to consume) 

Best of the Roses ๐ŸŒน

Have never felt better in my life. 15 - 16 poetry books here my father helped me Jackie-Jump-Start all the way back in the late 80's - 90's with "In This Pace: a Book of the Nineties" (by the way a few books formats jacked in the beginning of the new e-day media days so the actual poetry is beneath the e-mails to the "At the Moment" legacy media 

Best of the Roses ๐ŸŒน 

And yes Diana Falzone would still be my #1 

(Outside the other published books of poems I'm involved with and back to conversations about mystrawhat.com new everyday media)

A Life in a Day _ new poetry March 2025

A Life in a Day


Talking vending machines 

Convenience of allegiance 

She's in again.

Born again

Crazy as sin.


You work for a status symbol.


Sidewalk smiles 

Hello in your eyes 

What do mine say?

I love 

Everyday 

A life 

In a day

Dear โ€œMean Girlsโ€, _ Feb 2025

Dear "Mean Girls", I literally bumped into OG Mean Girl Lindsay Lohan outside the pool house at the unquestionable famous #ChateauMarmont in West Hollywood, California and she was gracious not a "mean girl" and so why do some business women feel the need to be a "mean girl" as an "F you" to those who demonstrate compassion, courtesy & care to those they serve that contributes to their paycheck & bottom line? #priorities #attitude #why #negativity #question #mark
