Today’s poem is called “On ‘;..p’[[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’”.
On ‘;..p’[[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’   Upon returning to my desk, having left it temporarily in search of biscuits, I discovered my cat had written a poem on my laptop. It was called ‘;..p’[[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’ and constituted one of her more difficult pieces, but it was the kind of poem which rewarded repeat reading.   I was struck by its experimental structure, the absence of line breaks; indeed, not one single space between any of the poem’s 10,000 or so characters.   One of the work’s central motifs – ‘jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk’ – was, by turns, reassuring and unsettling, while the symbolism of ‘###################’,   hinted at our 21st century preoccupation with social media. And who could not be moved by that devastating final line, its message of hope piercing our hearts like an arrow: ‘`````````5555=======================’. Brian Bilston
