Micropoetry - January 2020
I hoped to get January's Micropoetry post out earlier than this but... *shrugs*
Life happens. And I'm working hard on not over-working (I know, #WalkingContradiction ftw)

As always, for those using a screen-reader, the poems are in the alt-text, and line breaks are shown with / marks.

Nerd Church - The Truth?
Caution: This is one of those existential crises type posts with more questions than answers! Enjoy! 😅
What is the truth?
How can we tell what the truth is, in this supposedly 'post-truth,' 'alternative facts,' world?
