I am profoundly pissed
One too many syllables for the first line of an haiku. One too few for the middle line. Doesn’t work for the last line either. Feel free to argue with me about whether haiku deserves ‘a’ or ...
I know I'm being a pest.

Morning
This is the begonia I was rooting on the windowsill by the sink. It wants to bloom so hard. Now it’s in a bigger pot and it’s outside. I was out on the deck this morning for sunrise. Troubl...

Room rater. https://twitter.com/search?q=roomrater&src=typed_query Not sure if you can get there or not but it’s a lot of fun. IMHO. Rater likes exposed brick, plants, lit lamps, and art.
