  1. It is quarter to four and I still
    Haven't written a thing: output nil!
    I've had sev'ral false starts
    With some lame wordplay farts...
    So here's hoping this verse fills the bill.

  6. "The moment was all; the moment was enough.”
    ― Virginia Woolf, The Waves

    I don’t always compose. Sometimes I listen—for garden incantations passing through. I capture them in words:

    "We are a chord of scattered feathers, our fractures shimmering in the sun; every shifting wind retunes us, composing our unsteady flight into song."

  12. “It’s too dark in this place,” said the gent.
    “Did this restaurant NOT pay its rent?
    Your damn, flickering light
    On the menu’s a blight.
    I give up. You have lamb? I’m lamb bent.”

  13. A bootlicking fellow named Ross
    Worked in footwear and fawned on his boss.
    Many co-workers mocked him.
    One gal even socked him.
    He's boss now ... and she's on the sauce.

  14. кому нужны все эти избыточные рифмы-переклички? 【 Ещё работа перекликается со связками ключей на вентиляторах от Айрис Тулиату, которые можно было увидеть и услышать летом 2021 года в квир-галерее «Фрагмент»: fragment.gallery/exhibitions/2eclipse.athensbiennale.org/en/ #rhyme #JuanCasemiro #IrisTouliatou #keys #fans #kineticsculpture #infinity #Fragment

  15. We are mundane and biological.
    We are gross and physical.
    We are erratic and chemical.

    We are beauty in math/s from minima-bound graphs.
    We are dull and prosidical, sharper mit flaws a'full.
    Cores of a corps, in course of a gull,
    Not crows but stroll in a droll sort of form.

    Encircle no pleading and suffuse your meaning to make plain your greeting: unfanciful fleeting as when now we live.

    Concern yet afford to fear none aboard nor differ them shored. Let thus be adored!
    And when we are not: let strain have forgot, rage unfair not wrought, and druthers yet taught.

    Your pain and your rage and your fear and your shame,
    your worries, woes, injury, illnesses plain:
    Feel and let fall, befell any pall
    by knowing or awe. (Be who Young!You sought.)

    Your choices are yours of what will come forth.
    (Now wait for commenters' witty retort!)

  20. I wrote this today from the bottom up... the last two lines have been stuck in my head for awhile... "a day to be won from the man behind the sun" ... it's an interesting idea... let me know what you think...

  21. ===
    jbowen: My math might contain errors
    But errors are not terrors
    We do the best that we can
    To try is to be not also-ran
    Plus the Old Coder is code from head to toe
    Therefore, here you go
    The answer is August 18, 2035
    See below for detailed answer dive

    Sources: The #rhyme and #math are original and not LLM. An LLM was used only to check some of the math. Details follow to demonstrate that the claim isn't hollow. The source for launch date, present distance, and future velocity is Wikipedia. The illustration is GenAI.

    Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977. Voyager 2's speed has varied from then until now. However, the current speed is about 34,320 MPH relative to Sol and is expected to be close to that from this point on.

    Google states a slightly higher velocity than Wikipedia does [though only about half a percent higher]. We'll use Wikipedia's number for this post.

    As of New Years Eve 2025, #Voyager2 is about 13.2 billion miles out from Earth's orbit [if one draws a straight line from Sol through Earth's orbit to the spacecraft]. [Uncertainty in the number might be -/+ 0.1 billion miles].

    One light second = 186,282 miles.
    So 13.2 billion miles = 13,200,000,000 miles / 186,282 miles per light second = 70,860 light seconds.
    Seconds per day = 86,400.
    So 13.2 billion miles = 70,860 light seconds / 86,400 seconds per day = 0.82 light days.

    To reach 1 light day out, Voyager 2 must therefore travel another 1.00 - 0.82 light days or 0.18 light days = 0.18 light days * 86,400 seconds per day = 15,552 light seconds = 15,552 light seconds * 186,282 miles per light second = 2,897,057,664 miles.

    As of New Years Eve 2025, the time still to go is therefore:
    2,897,057,664 miles / 34,320 MPH = 84,413 hours

    The following Python 3 code:

    from datetime import datetime, timedelta
    nyeve = datetime (2025, 12, 31, 0, 0, 0)
    print (nyeve + timedelta (hours=84413))

    indicates that the target date is August 18, 2035. If Google's estimate of future velocity is correct, the date might be about 3 weeks sooner.

    In a humorous note, I asked an LLM to compute the date based on the number of hours and the LLM made a mistake in a fairly elementary calculation.
