    Things I like

    Things I like:
    Cursive writing
    Sunset on delivery
    The blinking of a birds eye
    The far away sound of a cello,
    Colonies of doves.

    Next: blue, journey, elephant, tide, run, secret.

    elephantasy

    elephants, with the right filter, are blue; it's
    not a secret, they're like chameleons, it's true
    - ask tipplers after more than a drink or two
    and pink will be their common view. This is

    so, they can hide when on their journeys,
    which they eschew, ever on the run, whereto
    in necessity they may enter into waters, into
    the tide and swim leaving wakes of rainbows!

    Enjoyed so much this imaginative poem:"they may enter into waters, into/the tide and swim leaving wakes of rainbows!" By the way, are you still saving all these poems on your poetry pages?

    Thanx re: Saving? - Yes, still saving in a google.doc started circa November 2021 ?: at maybe 2.x poems per page @ 10 pt print with a bit of white space and dividers (just so) = 330+ pages so far. I may have referenced it somewhere ? Some of the better ones (very subjective here) go into my Padlet web page, which also contains my better poetry (ibid) from a previous 290 page google.doc @ 11 pt print, which was necessitated by google.sites corrupting my website (sheesh!) which contained my poetry circa 2003 - 2018... but I haven't caught up with the Padlet site (up to March 2023? ) yet and still need to clean up and edit (an ongoing process)... you may have seen the Padlet page somewhere in the past (it had a background of pink dogwood leaves and the first pix was my woodstove) as I was trying to fix some graphics at the time due to a photo saving site going pay only even for extremely low volume users like me. I also use the first few pages of the newer google.doc as a 2-page template for my Thursdays at Two poetry group

    Hoping you are saving your gems too

    Looking forward to your next offering

    I'm glad you are saving the poems on a doc, because several of the poems I like best are more recent ones.I get the feeling that you are more at ease with the poetic tools.
    I'm going to save some of mine for a long planned blog.

    Mixmax
    Wearing my horoscope sign on a ribbon(leo)
    Jewels glimmer uselessly hidden
    in a cave
    by the abbey.

    A ship leaves a harbor somewhere
    heading for the equinox.
    On a pasture a single ox
    devours the landscape.
    His name is Cronus.

    Next: inheritance, watermelon, fierce, ship, eager, tend.

    The only tools I'm using now are Rhyme Desk as my writing aid: https://www.rhymedesk.com/desk and google and wikipedia for research for quite a while now... with the use of the futureboy anagram solver... https://futureboy.us/lookup/nph-anag...orig=generator on rare occasions due to memory issues with this laptop - which will be solved with a refurbished laptop I purchased recently with much beefier memory. The laptop I'm using now doesn't even have enough memory for a windows 10 update, even after moving everything to a memory card

    Look forward to your blog entry

    Enjoyed your poem and the tie in with Cronus

    Challenge: inheritance, watermelon, fierce, worship, eager, tend

    family reunion

    an eagerly awaited family reunion
    fierce was the sun
    lemonade
    a watermelon and cold chicken day
    grilled corn on the cob and hot dogs
    and burgers, and chilled potato salad with
    sweet pickles also in the offering
    children tilted at piņatas
    adults played at horseshoes
    and generally caught up -
    the most fun was seeing who had received
    an inheritance of features tending
    closest to photos of long past loved ones:
    great-great grandpas' ears,
    great-great grandmas' eyes and smiles...
    lastly the white elephant exchange
    a time honored tradition before
    all turning in early in preparation
    for Sunday's worship service

    8/7/2023

    Next: soup, freckles, harmony, words, nuance, truffle

    I didnīt express myself so well. With tools I meant the basic tools to write a poem: words, images, rhyme and rythm. Your poems seem to flow more naturally today, probably because you have abandoned most helping devices.

    I will be happy to explore Rhyme Desk (rhyming often is a big problem) and Futureboy. Thanks for the links and congrats for your new purchase!

    Ah. The so-called AI tools I dabbled with for a time were great for the Nonsense Poems' thread or perhaps offering scaffolds upon which to gain prompts that had to be fleshed out through way too much editing for some poetic forms I wanted to explore. I haven't trifled with the newer AI available and prolly will not.

    Possibly the influence of our county's poet laureates, 2-emeritas & current, and the poetry workshops and readings are beginning to rub off on me (still learning )

    The Rhyme Desk is helpful at a basic level for rhymes and thesaurus... I will often google if I need a word that Rhyme Desk balks at. It serves me as a better platform for me to write rather than using a text editor... though I cut/paste to a text editor... it's really not all that complicated.

    Looking forward to your new poem

    I sometimes look for rhymes in the net, will have a look ar Rhyme Desk. Some Apps I liked at the beginning I find limited now . As for Chat gtp didn't manage to download it yet, But, anyway, wouldn't exchange my own attempts for an app.

    Poetry
    Poetry is a magic
    created out of words,
    wearing unexpected nuances
    flowing in rhythmical cadences.

    Songs of harmony or disruption,
    poems may contain everything:

    From the stock market
    to the gushes of the heart.

    From delirant dishes
    of soup and truffles
    to the sunny face of a freckled child.

    From a clouded sky
    to intergalactic adventures.

    From the fragile here and now,
    to the multiple evocations
    of eternity.

    Next: erosion, island, dawn, game, retumbant, round.

    Wonderful Ars Poetica ! Enjoyed

    Challenge accepted !

    Challenge: erosion, island, dawn, game, retumbante, round

    shore party

    searching for game and water after
    dawn upon an uncharted deserted
    island with diamond bright sands at
    our backs we cut through dense lianas

    meter by bitter meter into the jungle
    'round about noon we'd had enough
    of the cacophony of sound of unseen
    game when we came across a sinkhole

    created by the erosion of limestone
    filled to its rim with cool fresh water
    we'd no sooner filled our waterskins
    when we heard the retumbante snarl

    of a glaring black beast that curdled
    the very blood in our veins - our cook,
    no less, shot the black beast in mid-
    flight with his ancient flintlock pistola

    men of the high seas
    remain linked to the harsh land
    joined at the hip

    Next: seed, linen, horse, reservoir, swarm, float

    Swarms of fishes in the reservoir
    A choir of children on the lawn
