Cartoon from Hugh Macleod via how to save the world I’m way behind in my blog reading, due to all my blog-tweaking — and this is one of the first things I came across while catching up. Continue reading

Bloggishness

There have been some major (and some minor) changes here at sbpoet.com. Some changes have been made in response to specific complaints — some my own, others from readers: Can’t find email addy: put text (in CAPS) above the GMail Me button Can’t find About page: made the ABOUT button more ‘graphic’ Found the About… Continue reading

DISCLAIMERS:

Artificial Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. I believe writing is thinking, and I prefer to do my own. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

Poems

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
