when we are obsessed
demanding knowledge of all
we lose the beauty
the hoarfrost in its glory
does not need explanation

LBRY is a decentralized content marketplace. I price the PDF versions of my work at approximately half of the Kindle price because I receive the entire amount rather than a royalty percentage.
Most of my work is free. A tip as small as 5 LBC (approximately $0.15) really helps, and it all goes to me.

ReplyDeleteWell, SOMEBODY (that is to say, me) does not know how to follow instructions. The instructions were to write a Troiku. I wrote a Tanka. I would beat my head against the wall as punishment, but it would do no good.
ReplyDeleteI wish my brain worked.
That being said, it's apparent that I don't have dementia despite being a blithering idiot. I had to go for a psychological exam to attempt to qualify for disability. My memory is okay. This doesn't mean I have any sense or the ability to process instructions properly.
You weren't the only one, Cara - don't beat yourself up about it. I enjoyed your tanka.
ReplyDeleteI think there is some magic in science and visa versa.
ReplyDeleteI've been watching a bunch of Utube repeats of Penn and Teller's "Fool Us"...
Weather remains one of those wonderful mysteries that is hard to predict and if we accept it as is we can enjoy it. Though few do.

No explanations needed, indeed.
