@3sframe@social.linux.pizzaI have two journals for poetry. One where I write some certified stinkers and the other where I try my best to write good ones.
And sometimes, I write some personal favorites in the bad journal and have to transfer it over to the good journal anyway.
Is this weird? Shouldn't I just have one journal where the good and the bad poetry can live next to each other?

@outer@mas.toA little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring;
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.

@cdarwin@c.im“Pity the nation whose people are sheep,
and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced,
and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice,
except to...acclaim the bully as hero”
-- Lawrence Ferlinghetti, 1958
