a ditty for a monday mornings

about what sacred (sometimes) means.

real talk

why didn’t short form text social spur a poetry renaissance?

feels like a content medium that could’ve flourished as a result of the rise of bite sized content feeds 🤔

weird internet kid. word rotator. yapping on /okbanger. playing with @wannanaplabs. curating in /cameron | dev + vet + HBS.

Maybe in part the cost/benefit of taking the time and effort to write one. Since a lot of work needs to go into writing a small amount of text, only for it to be passively read, and appraised in the same way as any other text post. Unlike visual art, where an image/video is going to hold more interest for most users.

Definitely, good points. And I think yeah, both have benefits

visuals definitely have more arresting qualities

part of me wonders if it’s a “i won’t change my process” inertia problem

obv i’m into /slowcore-hq but do think raw art rapidposting probably has a place too

@farcaster dev / dad / books, cooks, ski, code ~ there are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant

yes

related to the halting problem :) it's hard to know the depth of a short poem without doing to work to explore its depths

it'd feel bad if you spent time exploring and found nothing there

this is very different from something like a meme that by design can be digested instantaneously

so you’re saying…

poems need curation bc the sea of noise is too loud?

hard to consume for the same reason

it takes effort to consume short poetry, you should be confident there is something there (eg someone put a lot of work into this and isn’t just doing wordimage salad)
