A place to gather words before they get lost.

Some things don't need clocks - You start them up when you can then come around, stop

for Algot

We are not machines, but we speak their language in whispers and rhyme. — Yafira, https://electrocuteblog.wordpress.com/2025/07/13/poetic-pattern-recognition/

An ear listening for patterns where rains fall where codes run where fingers write where new poems, begun to stretch the limits of turns of phrase, even machines search for something recognizable, to say

A cold scurrying sable, digging on downward, refusing its fur

A wandering creek, in motion – frozen over - a fine ice sculpture

Fluff up, wild duck; a catalogue of wood or brass - paper barber's razor dust broom hemp cord lettuce bread sugar: how much does one need?

The comfort of soup comes less in ingredients than the love of chef

It's never too soon to mourn the passing of a fellow poet and strummer on the streets of an American city, gunned down by policies meant to divide us from each other, but what words suffice to capture the moment, other than anger and sadness?

— for Renee Good

Hands of an old clock rotating in time and rhyme, in a slow creak now

A lone wolf howl the first full moon of the year gracing morning skies

joy is a tall tree with roots deeper than a mountain

love is, too, if you let it flourish on wonder, and settle in soil

inspired by Steve's metaphor poem
