It's hard to notice at first, but look for the subtleties of character - that's how you spot the good ones ☕

Bruises of winter were still in the sky
salient raw sailings over south shores
those just visible images angry below
capering but caustic colossi above
as part darker the world growing darker. X

Sam Altman, chief executive of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, who co-founded the company alongside billionaire Elon Musk in 2015, is departing the artificial intelligence company and leaving its board effective immediately.

He's got an uncanny ability to make me laugh at the right moments ☕

This green island
Veined root-whispered hymns
Voices on the wind
Golden red leaves gently
Lift and fall, fall and float

damp morning brown-leafed
along the stream where trees drip
frogs are singing

He wants romance, a sweeping off
from under feet, and whispers that melt,
he craves intensity
and connection, then rest be assured,
that's exactly what he will get;
I am fire and feeling rolled into one,
the perfect metaphor to get him going--

An excerpt from "In Retrospect."

Listen to
what people
don't say

Poets have gushed about tulips  
and trials of Apollo
and oak and pine woodlands
since the beginning of time,
what of soul searching and long walks 
around tress of the emerald sea,
do they not qualify?

Go ahead and make eye contact and smile at everybody.  They're a hot mess too.

#Poetry 🦇🤍🖤

unraveled
a skein of geese
frays the morning sky

#poetry #micropoetry #morningwindow

For as long as we can find ourselves,
need not succumb
to lure of darker dreams,
a despairing song
that etches itself deep into the bones--

Just a regular November Day ~
