Mulligrubs: a despondent, sullen, or ill-tempered mood: sulks, blues
In early March 2023, Bonnie had a dark cloud stuck in her brain. She hadnÕt written anything in a minute, and had some big doctor appointments looming. She had learned that she canÕt let herself sink too far into a hole, so she looked around at what she could do to ease herself back out of it.
ÒA poem a day, thatÕs what IÕll do,Ó she thought. ÒIÕll write a poem a day.Ó
So she opened a new Word doc and called it ÒA Poem a Day to Keep the Mulligrubs AwayÓ Ñ which became the book you are about to read.
