So glad you have signed up to receive the For Random Learning Comes Newsletter! This is the fifty-eighth edition. Previous editions can be found on the blog's Newsletter page. I send it out weekly, so if you don't get my email on Saturday morning, please let me know! (Check your junk and spam folders too.) My five latest posts are at the end of this newsletter, latest first. *** This week I have only one new poem to bring you. And I'm a bit late getting started, so the newsletter may be a little higher in your Saturday inbox than usual. Real life has once again pulled me away from poetry, although I did get a fair amount done on a dystopian sci fi (more fi than sci, I'll admit)short story, set four hundred years in the future, but with a "back to the future" vibe. Anyway, my poem enclosed here, Mine, is a nature poem, set in the morning. It makes fun of the human tendency to lay claim to nature, to land, to buildings, as if those things would ever bend to a human's will. As if they did not laugh at our vanity, as they outlasted us. Hope you enjoy the poem, and I hope you are finding ways to outlast the heat and keep up hope, in this strange time of very real and yet unexpected alternative realities (more sci than fi).
