Timing is everything

It's never too early to subscribe. Bonus: Happy Poetry Month, fools! To celebrate, why don't you click over and visit with my poetess friends?

Carlotta Stankiewicz writes delightful poetry over at The Well Versed Mom. You should just go ahead and subscribe by email while you're there, because if you miss a poetic post, it's entirely your loss.

Blythe Jewell blogs at The Bean and has published Something Smells Like Pee And Other Classy Observations. Yes, she goes there. And let's face it, you're right there with her. These poems are close to home, friends. Pick it up and laugh so you don't cry.

For a bitter laugh, take a look at To What Miserable Wretches Have I Been Born?: Revenge Poetry for Babies and Toddlers by Suzanne Weber. Can you tell by the title how annoyed I am that I didn't think of it? Suzanne is judging a #suburbanhaiku contest on twitter later this month, so get to know her and love her. Or face the consequences. (I don't know what they are, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be good.)

Oh, and there's one more book I think you might like. What was it again? Oh yeah.

It's not nagging if you haven't done it yet. Subscribe. Bonus: You guys. Today the magical Amber Dusick at Illustrated with Crappy Pictures posted a giveaway for my new book . . . And She Illustrated A Suburban Haiku. I know! I can't believe it either.

First, Anne Parris at Midlife Boulevard reviews the new book and compares me to Erma Bombeck. You can just click on over to see whether it's a favorable comparison. Or not.

Next up, Dana at Kiss My List asked me questions, and I answered, entirely in haiku. And if that's not enough to make you curious to click through, her teenage daughter comes through with an eyeroll and haiku smackdown.

Finally, Ann Imig, the force of nature behind Listen To Your Mother, is giving away a copy of the book to a lucky commenter on her hilarious Where I Live Wednesday linkup on Ann's Rants.
