Garden full of fireflies.

(some poems written over the last few months inspired by other writers’ work, musings or even avatar picture!)

Dawn’s rays
refract your words
through stained glass windows.

__________

Down in NM
Dragon sheds his scales,
now canis latrans
a loping silhouette
barking at the moon.

(@CoyoteSings)
__________

Sun’s last gasp
moon muscles in:
Twin Cities twilight.

(@TinaNguyen)
__________

Wind coming off Lake Michigan
carries off
unwanted words
unsaid words;
calm in its wake.

(@HikiMadwoman)
__________

Amidst
the sound and the fury
your voice
is heard
by us.

(@HikiMadwoman )
__________

Frolicking in foam,
waves of water skip and slide
in the ocean’s playground.

(@Miriclaire)
__________

I wander through your
poetry orchard; apples
shiny-skinned and sweet.

(@Miriclaire)
__________

On stained glass wings
the dragonfly hovers above
a lonely lakeshore.

(@honeygloom)
__________

Behind her mask
lies a generous heart
too big to hide.

(@AleksisZ)
__________

Sticking stars
on night’s
velvet velcro.

(@CoyoteSings)
__________

Laptop’s humming battery
keeps me warm
on cold
autumn
evenings.

(@myearthgirl)
__________

Words
thick and sweet
like treacle.

(@hkfeaga)
__________

Life’s quick rainbow
refracted in Jem’s
gems of wisdom.

(@Jemfyr)
__________

Trees lean forward
boughs spread
leaves dance
like feathers
on a bird.

(@perlygates)
__________

Plums have so much
to teach
hard skin on the outside
soft and juicy inside
pithy stone.

(@roseplums)
__________

Albany bathed in
Autumn’s glow
sea of auburn,
earthen flames rippling.

(@margaret_h)
__________

Naked scarecrow
slinks away
down
the yellow (leaf-strewn)
brick road.

(@CoyoteSings when he was Dragonsatva)
__________

Loping purposefully,
thumbnail moon in its eyes, cool
desert sand shifting.

(@CoyoteSings)
__________

3 a.m. – dog brushes past her legs
she lifts her gaze from Mac’s glow
bear in her backyard.

Who on Earth 2.0 is … Chris Messina?

Chris is the guy who came up with the first Twitter hashtag#. This was way back in … 2007, 23rd of August to be precise. The first hashtagged tweet was ‘how do you feel about using # (pound) for groups. As in #barcamp [msg]?’ Not too exciting maybe, but hashtags have proved to be incredibly useful ways of grouping conversations and leaving a sort of paper trail so people can check what’s been tweeted on a particular topic. In fact, Chris called them channel tags and at the outset was the only one to use them until autumn 2007 when people started tagging tweets about the forest fires in San Diego and congressional voting. The rest is history, nowadays ppl hashtag just about anything & everything, but it still serves its purpose, such a simple thing as a pound sign!
