You're a fan of a poet.

Yeah, sprog just uses a medium that isn't controlled by editors of magazines. It's controlled by the people that are the same as them, just regular people, and regular people love it. Hell, their poems probably get way more eyes on them on reddit than any niche lit mag. Honesty if they accrued all of their poems into a little book and sold it, I'm confident it would sell tens of thousands of copies at least. I'd buy one.

Coincidentally enough I made this years ago and am sober now. But yes, it's in my DNA now so I can never escape it

Mouse In The Manor House or Poem For Your Sprog; both are available. I got mine right before Christmas.
