Great attempt! I’m interested in seeing how you pared it down

Well done!

Haiku

#haiku #vintage #typewriter

There is no one here
It takes two to start counting
And to multiply

Old typewriters have
No one in their number row
So all old ones are Ls

#haiku today for a quick picture project

0.25 mm pen on wooden yard stick

A #haiku scratched out on this gray day:

I shake out my shoes
in this drizzling rain- but
the pebble remains

Some weekend reading while camping. Really good so far, explaining the confluence of influences from China, Shintoism, and Buddhism in Japanese culture surrounding both poetry and death

I’m happy to have had a poem I submitted selected for the Syracuse Poster Project which this year celebrated iconic Syracuse businesses!

We may be done with winter, but winter isn't done with us.

A bit less traditional #haiku for this morning:

April showers May help
flowers, but this mid-spring snow
bends their tender necks

#poem #snow #April

Last year’s #haiku contest prize notebook with the original haiku:

black line in blank space
calls to my red-feathered thoughts
rest here a moment

Inspired by my photo of the male cardinal…a poet rectifies the space between the line and the void.

Sunday morning, freezing rain, fire going.

I open Poetry magazine and read “If I Were an Ewok…”

Masterful, devastating, and beautiful.

I had to sit with the resonance of it for a bit before reading it aloud to my wife. She cried.

Thank you for this poem.

Great #BlitzPoem

Think of Day Make a way Make you think Think about it Think before you act Act like a lady Act like you care Care to share Care to dance Dance to your own beat Dance like no one's watching Watching the clock Watching grass grow Grow like a weed Grow in a row Row upstream Row, row, row your boat Boat on the water Boat afloat Afloat on a river Afloat on air Air your grievances Air out the room Room for rent Room for everybody Everybody loves a fool Everybody is welcome Welcome to the jungle Welcome home Home grown Home for boys Boys only Boys don't cry Cry me a river Cry more More than a lover More than meets the eye Eye of the tiger Eye of round Round and round, we go Round the curve Curve ahead Curve ball Ball of string Ball of light Light the way Light of Day Day of The Dead Day is coming Coming Dead J.

I like to try new poem styles sometimes. #blitz #poetry is fun! I like how it kind of turned into a zombie invasion at the end. I did not see that coming...and I wrote it!

Three mediocre paragraphs is better no paragraphs at all, which is what I wrote today.

I’ve given Gregor Samsa a makeover, and I think he looks fabulous #art #metamorphosis #fun #Kafka #Classroom_decor

Having a bit of fun with Googly-eyes is one of the cheapest bringers of joy possible #funny #Googly-Eyes #album

That’s exactly what Klemann said!

I glued a plastic piece of cheese to Anakin’s head, and I think he really likes it! #cheese #art #fun
