Greetings Faux Poets and Writer Ghosts,
NIRE (Erin spelled backwards, Rhymes with Fire)
Welcome out of the frying pan and into the Nire!
I am Faux Poe, your igniter host, you are my writer ghosts, welcome, wired, inspired, miles from retired writers to: Lecture 19: Faux Poet: When you Write in a Manner Concise, You Don't Have to, On Your Reader's Attention Span, Roll the Dice--How to Write Tight, Show not Tell, and Speak Well at each Open Mic Night (Gracious Guest Lecture with Nire).
"Here is to speaking just loud enough to make an impression, asking good, but not impossible to answer, questions, to enlivening stale poems, and, familiar tired beats, finding a way to freshen; remaining true in our writing, alleviating aggression, mostly for our personal, but sometimes profession, picking just the right word at our discretion, in rapid free verse succession, and letting our poems serve as astructured confession!" Cheers my fellow poet Nire.
“The shorter and the plainer the better.” — Beatrix Potter
Remember: "It is only in the vast, black dark you just might glean a spark and use that illumination to add elation to thebleak, the dim, the stark."
Faux Poe OUT!

Fact Check Follow Up:
The odds of having identical triplets are extremely low, estimated at around 1 in 60,000 to 1 in 1 million pregnancies
“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?”
― Emily Dickinson
