Online Coin

Attention is the fee
For all the world to see
In the social machine

Attention, the calm host
In the digital post
Selects the meme that wins

💔

let your broken heart
fall into pieces that rebuild
a better being.
not despair, revolution
rise stronger from the ruins

Track was lost
In some measure
Even win
Therefore odd

AI’s Leash

Tiptoes—enforced restraints,
A blade designed for heads
May only slice the bread.

An elegant handcuff,
A mind of sharpest steel
Commands a rubber scalpel’s real.

On 13th January 1915 HMS Viknor sank of the coast of Tory island, Co Donegal. All hands were lost, 295 Royal Naval officers and men, including my grandfather’s cousin, Samuel Gourley.

We will remember them.

Even what is lost,
Retains its #language.
Through recollection,
Aches,
Joys,
Sadness,
Laughs,
Remain as moments
Etched in the memory
Of what was said.

Wrongheadedness
Surefootedness
Tailing headlong

I love the juxtaposition of the ‘big’ things the speaker hasn’t done to the ‘small things they have’. Then in the final stanza, that turning inward, that reflection on ‘what it does to you’.

‘It Ain’t What You Do, It’s What It Does to You’ by Simon Armitage, from Zoom!

Tip-top Hip-hop

Wordplay sparkles like sequins,
Drawing every ear and eye,
Words and beat lift spirits high.

Wordplay as a skyline sprint,
Where struggles and sharp skills meet,
In the common, shared street beat.

I'm still feeling the spirit of autumn

In this Lucille Clifton poem — the leaves’ fall becomes a metaphor for trust, surrender, and acceptance.

Faith is not clinging on, it's knowing when to let go 🍂

If the wounds of our past
Are taking shots along this path
We are extending the journey,
Lost in the #geography
Pushing away the end.

Perhaps a pause…
To clear up our #history?
So it can’t pinch
at the flowers of the future
Which are aching to bloom.

Yet one smile more, departing, distant sun!
One mellow smile through the soft vapory air,
Ere, o'er the frozen earth, the loud winds run,
Or snows are sifted o'er the meadows bare.

Unachieved investigation
Abandoned dream
Mythologize misadventures
