September feels like Arthur Rackham art to me.

-
'The Serpentine is a lovely lake...' - Peter Pan - Arthur Rackham - Heinemann 1906.

23.Some

Some without faces
flicker and fade; after-images, a trick of the light,
echoes and shadowmen, just out of sight.
Gleamings in the black that leave wavering traces

19.Through a Shroud

watching things happen in dreams
is like violence seen through the mist;
dream figures who scream nonsense,
desperate to be understood,
like the dead seen through a shroud

Regular reminder to support and shop small and local ✊! Amazon doesn't need another cold billion, but your friends, family, and neighbors can use all the sales and support they/we can get! Pweez 🥺👉👈.

P.S. repost for good karma 😜🙌.

this is the only poem of mine i really care to show people lately. Unfortunately, it resonates more now than when i wrote it back in 2020

#writing #writers #poetry #poems #writersky #unpublished
.Lyrebird There’s a feast for jackals, sharks, and all that waits for you to start On the wretched meat that's rotten where once was a beating heart Choke it down; his speech, his offal, ‘cause it starts and stops in stages He says, “Bring me all your neighbors and I’ll blacken all the pages” In the mirror overhead are your faces bloody red? Desperate forms beneath glass tabletops all doing what he said? Inside you shake and shiver ‘til your stitches pop and break Watching as you fall to pieces, “this was all a big mistake” Can the lyrebird tell? Liar-lyrebird tell? with their liars lips and liars tongues all crying constantly? Can you shut them up, and silence them and throw away the key? In a heart that fell apart that is gaping wide and open the apologies spill out and the honesty’s unfrozen; for whats broken into pieces is a road-map pointed to which is what happens when a heart becomes all scar tissue and stitches.

I was overcome with desperation for these gorgeous illustrated hardcover books in my local indie bookstore- I started paging through the one on 'Witchcraft'. It is everything. Even the cover is by my favorite painter Waterhouse! ... but $40 each.... (；′⌒`)

Each book covers a separate topic including 'Tarot' , 'Astrology' , "Witchcraft' , 'Sacred Sites' , and 'Plant Magick'.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.
Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

If you write ‘unalive’ in prose or character dialogue, in your NOVEL - which I have seen TWICE NOW - I will immediately wince and full body cringe. The TikTokification of words has to stop. Your character almost DIED or was KILLED in your novel. They were not almost ‘unalived’.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

thinking about this poem again
lofibop.bsky.social lofibop @lofibop.bsky.social · Nov 18
a micro poem inspired after learning about Ikiryō, the spirit or ghost of a living person that can wander off to haunt people or places

#poetry #writing #micropoetry #poetrycommunity
3.In the Dark A living ghost wanders from the unconscious mind, An unnoticed dark corner of the heart Seeps into the waking world like poison into drink Like shadows in ice Red apples in the dark

My library had a copy of 'Sigil Witchery'! I like it so far and am trying Zakroff's suggestions in designing a sigil for protecting my new apartment- will report back.

also- it was in the YA section, lol. This library knows what teen girls are into (¬‿¬)

The book cover for 'Sigil Witchery' a witch's guide to crafting magick symbols by Laura Tempest Zakroff. The cover is decorated with several sigils and symbols, including crescent moons and five-point stars.

it's quickly turned into a very poor week.
Forced to stay at temporary lodgings, I found a songbird tangled, in distress, nearby. Texted a local number who could only euthanize the poor thing.
I'm devastated I didn't find it help in time. I feel a pall cast over me. Once home i'll burn a candle...
