I love poetry and I think it is very important and still thriving. To be honest, for this generation poetry is a lot like TikTok. It is quick and easy to create. Some poems are harder and more complex, but for the most part anyone can sit down and write one like quick content. It is extremely difficult to sit down and produce 3000 words with a beginning, middle, and end for a short story, or to finish an entire book. In a world where many people can barely read a book at all, it is much easier to read a short poem and get an emotional reaction from it.
I hope to catch up on the live feed next week. Thanks, Josh.
You're the best, Josh! Great show as always. Thanks for featuring my haikus and also for the kind words! Hope to be able to join live next week! Keep up the great work - it is deeply appreciated!
Gutted I missed this live; it was great! Thanks for introducing me to a bunch of new poets, too
Also, I find it fitting that your daughter's kidnapping accusations are something pleasant disguised as something sinister, which is the exact inverse of my poem lol. Funny coincidence
Haha, yeah maybe that's why there was a subconscious link when I read this. But yeah, very nice, nice collection too. This one read very pleasantly I thought!
And yeah, no worries on missing it. I never announce the poems ahead of time but I do try to stick to a prompt 1000MST start time on Fridays.

Yeah thanks Dave. I think it will be back in a strong way. After all, if this is the low point, there is no where to go but up 😅
Thanks for another great show!
