I’ve fallen in love with the Japanese literary form, zuihitsu.
Zuihitsu, meaning “following the brush,” flow as the mind flows. They are fragmentary—mixing moments of observation, opinion, anecdote, asides, and humor. From the contemporary point of view zuihitsu refuse categorization, vibrating in the live space between prose and poetry.

Most English poems

Are just sentences
That don’t rhyme. How come?
(Not to deride the very cute xmas poem here but serious question. Do I have a bad sample size? Is this rhyming just for song lyrics and rap now? Or was non-rhyming poetry always bigger in English than in other languages?) https://

One of the most biting & memorable film monologues, inspired by the poetry of Antonio Machado, and delivered by "Jefe" near the end of Ridley Scott's The Counselor:
"Actions create consequences, which create new worlds, and they're all different [...] and hitherto unknown to us. They must have always been there. [...] I urge you to see the truth of the situation you are in. It is not for me to tell you what you should have done or not done. The world in which…

Content warning: Loss and grief
I keep thinking that I should text a friend of mine, tell him how much I've been writing, tell him I mentioned him in something I wrote. Then I remember he died like 4 years ago.
Edit:
It must have been more like 6 or something now that I'm thinking about it. It was part of the way through the first Trump administration. He would have really appreciated the way Trump is unraveling now. One of the last times we talked he was like... "You know man, You used to play 'Baby, I'm an anarchist' and I'd think... ' don't want to throw a brick through a Starbucks window. I kinda like their coffee sometimes.' But the way things have been going lately, I'm kind of looking around and thinking you might be right. Fuck Starbucks. Where's that brick?"
At least I won the SRV vs the Hendrix version of Voodoo Chile debate. Hendrix is just better.
We used to talk about music, especially punk (and rockabilly, and ska, and 2 tone), and poetry, and beer. He liked hop stupid, but I always thought it didn't have the body to match the hops and I always preferred Racer 5. Of course, this time of year we'd be shifting in to red and stout season, and I'd be excited for Lagunitas Russian Imperial and this year's Bourbon County Stout batch.
He was really big in to Star Wars. He missed all of Andor, which is probably the best thing to have come out since the original 3. But I guess he also missed the new trilogy, so maybe it balances out.
He would have really liked all the good music I've run across in the last few years. He had a music blog for a bit.
Yeah... I don't know why it's hitting me so hard now, other than maybe I never had time to really process it before.

One of my favourite poems. I'm not much of a poetry fan, but #PamAyers really hits the nail.
I often wonder what it must be like to be so strong,
Infallible, articulate, self-confident and wrong.

Here's a short poem by Langston Hughes named "Question":
When the old junk man Death
Comes to gather up our bodies
And toss them into the sack of oblivion,
I wonder if he will find
The corpse of a white multi-millionaire
Worth more pennies of eternity,
Than the black torso of
A Negro cotton-picker?
