Ok, so when I had my doubts, I didn't think it would come to something like this:

I must have been living under a rock, unaware of the recent ToS changes here. And now I feel like joining the wave of people leaving :)

In any case, I haven't been around here much of late.

Just to be clear, I'm not against the use of publicly available data to train AI and LLMs, but given that the content here can often be noisy and starkly opinionated, I wonder what such a model would learn :/

life lines drawn
from there to here
wind blown
dispersed in the air
wave swept
dissolved in the sea
choice led me
chance broke every boundary
hope whispers greater than fear
a line in just a point in time
a shifting sign
to the change in rhythm, I align
to what remains, is there

[susan osborne @osbornecsue]

there must be empathy with the devil
if you would see them now
the details
in this occasion
of several things a person
and i only mortal

compelled by instinct
embedded design
chasing the flame
a sphinx moth blind
singed wings
but this is no fling
the fire blazes
all consuming
moth or 🔥
who is to blame
fates entwined
in a hunger game
burning undone flying to fall
twin dancing shadows on the wall
#moonmystic

[Mingmar Sadhana @Upasika1]

climbing a broken ladder
missing rungs midway
taking another step
knowing winter’s grasp
cannot choke the call of spring
a dawn like no other rising
samsara stirring to light
singing nembutsu
good news in the air
the pure land is here & now
whenever we call upon you

Sea always hungry,
in teeth of the unnamed storm;
New Year's buoyant blue.

I have a haiku in issue #147 of Hedgerow journal:

snow-dotted crow . . .
not knowing if the voices
are real

allowing your mind
to go there
obsolete
scruffy boots food aplenty
but no gun
inner world growing
every one
they are no longer present

[susan osborne @osbornecsue]

you can't do untroubled
all the time
only one jump
away from scattering
minutes to hours
with dawn comes news
rainbow filters
cloud a puff of wet air
you are the sun passing thru

#BlackDahliaProse 860 "tethered to the wind"

Caught, my shadow dredge,
cyclone motion, weightless yin
yanged across those might-have-beens
but tethered to the wind
not to the going unchose,
to love again be weighty friend,
re leaf to find that edge.

on a rusty swing
the blank stare
of a chameleon
