swept

it’s a fine day to go away
or so the sea exclaimed
and with a mighty wave
and a mighty roar
it took from shore
the one whom they adored

the sea that day was cruel
to sparkle like a jewel

Short circuit, or: Wired for words

A poem in ‘Shoe Laces’ form

A man found he was drawn to words
a lot.
He'd write in rhyme till things just got
absurd.
The toaster popped in perfect rhyme
one day.
The kettle answered right away
in time.
At last the kitchen blew a fuse
one night...

The fixer had to rhyme it right!

‘Shoe Laces’ form?

Shoe Laces is a poetry form created by Michael Fantina and named by Doubletake, who thought the crossing rhyme pattern at the end looked like tied shoelaces.

The poem has 11 lines. The line lengths alternate between 8 syllables and 2 syllables:

8-2-8-2-8-2-8-2-8-2-8

The longer lines are written in iambic tetrameter (four iambic beats), and the shorter lines are written in iambic monometer (one iambic beat).

The rhyme scheme is:

a-b-b-a-c-d-d-c-e-f-f

This means lines 1 and 4 rhyme, lines 2 and 3 rhyme, lines 5 and 8 rhyme, lines 6 and 7 rhyme, and the final two lines rhyme with each other.

d’Verse poetics: Legs eleven

This week at d’Verse, poets are invited to explore the Shoe Laces form.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

The Old Fears, Faster

The fears about artificial intelligence are the fears about the internet, rerun at twice the speed. When the public internet arrived in the mid-1990s, four anxieties traveled with it. One concerned human contact, a sense that conversation would erode as it migrated to screens. Another concerned regional culture, a worry that local identity would flatten under a single global signal. A third concerned the limits of knowing, the prospect that anyone, anywhere, could learn anything with no curator to vet the source. The last concerned gatekeeping, the dread that quality would dissolve once newspapers, publishers, and broadcasters lost their grip. […]
