@outer@mas.toI love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
Dorothea Mackellar, Australian writer, from the poem: “My Country”, 1908

@jredlund@social.linux.pizzaThe Speakers
This is a spoken word poem read on top of a vaguely hip-hop backing track posted on the "Twanger Central" section of the guitar-oriented discussion board www.tdpri.com by a player whose screen name is "cminor9." The poem was a morning poem (sometimes I wake up with some lines) that I didn't know what to do with. It fit here. "Speakers" is a synonym for "humans" in this context.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioTIL the Carmina Burana (11th/12th century) had a poem about generative AI use at universities
Florebat olim studium,
nunc vertitur in tedium;
iam scire diu viguit,
sed ludere prevaluit.
iam pueris astutia
contingit ante tempora,
qui per malivolentiam
excludunt sapientiam.
sed retro actis seculis
vix licuit discipulis
tandem nonagenarium
quiescere post studium.
at nunc decennes pueri
decusso iugo liberi
se nunc magistros iactitant,
ceci cecos precipitant,
implumes aves volitant,
brunelli chordas incitant,
boves in aula salitant,
stive precones militant.
Translation:
Once learning flourished. Now it's come
to be condemned as tedium:
the days of thirsting after truth
are now the idle days of youth.
For students hardly in their prime
find themselves wise before their time:
they know it all — impertinence
replaces plain intelligence.
In days gone by we were required
to stick with study: none retired,
or wished himself to be released,
till ninety years of age at least.
Now lads of barely a decade
can graduate — get themselves made
professors too! And who's to mind
how blind the blind who lead the blind?
So fledgelings soar upon the wing,
so donkeys play the lute and sing:
bulls dance about at court like sprites
and ploughboys sally forth as knights.
@cdarwin@c.imIn his youth, Charles Darwin had an inordinate fondness for beetles.
Late in life, he wrote in his autobiography:
No poet ever felt more delighted at seeing his first poem published than I did at seeing, in Stephens’ ‘Illustrations of British Insects,’ the magic words, “captured by C. Darwin, Esq.”
The Stephens in question was James Francis Stephens, a top entomologist, whom the young Darwin had visited in early 1829

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioYes yes yes, I realize that the 5/7/5 syllable count is neither necessary nor sufficient to make a poem a true haiku, and that syllable counting has very little to do with the classical Japanese form or its modern literary incarnations. But going by syllables alone makes the bit work!

@salrandolph@zirk.usI wonder if there is a space to write about books you love that isn’t quite reviewing but something more like telling a tale or entering into the poem of a novel.
I tried it out with Hiroko Oyamada’s The Hole.
