I'm a crepuscular poet who drifts between phases irregularly, carried by an unrequited romance with the Moon. If you create something that's the right shape, poetry may fall out of me.

In reality I'm a British European in southern England who marinaded in Scotland and the Westcountry.

I occasionally post photos on my Pixelfed account at https://metapixl.com/@wordsmith

I will gladly accept more poetry.

@wronglang @mekkaokereke Just because he thinks he’s not using symbolism and talking about politics doesn’t mean that’s true. It just means he’s talking about the politics and using the symbols he is too incurious to realize are part of his own language and identity and political views. Not the sort of shallowness you’d expect from an author. But I guess it takes all sorts?

I prefer diamonds that cannot be mined
from the curl of a solar eclipse
around the limb of the Moon.

Hey @echo I notice on some of the Mastodon PRs (including yours), the description includes a line such as "Fixes WEB-909". What does this refer to? Web searches are failing me.

Thanks for your work on Masto!
