I don't know about you, but I keep out the cold with Love, Kindness, and Poetry. There are times, sometimes weeks, when I don't write a single poem, but I wouldn't last a day without receiving and giving love and kindness. They are what life is about. Everything else is secondary. As this chaotic year draws to a close, I wish you joy and peace. May you find happiness in doing good things for others and for yourselves. Submissions for January 2025 open on December 1 and close on December 10, or when we have received 40 submissions. Jim Lewis, Editor
