day 6 of Mα»'s Writing On The Net 30-day challenge!
Hi friends!
I skipped my letter to you on Day 5 because frankly I felt a little burnt out after 4 long-form essays. Having gotten some rest, read more, eaten more good food, Iβm feeling a little more rejuvenated!
Today I wanted to share with you some free poems I had written in my journal while I was practicing how to write poetry in English.
I love free poems because it allows me to experiment with the most open and unconstraint form of self-expression. I find it super difficult though, but here goes something!

<a fibonacci poem>
i
saw
a deer
standing by
the getaway car
does it try to follow the star?

blank page
when i want to write
the blank page looks at me, softly says,
youβre not ready yet, but time will be there
when i wish to write
the blank page lends a cursor to my hand
slow down, things grow at their own pace
when i long to write
the blank page asks me to rest,
to enjoy the purity of its possibilities
to hold on to the mystery,
to adore the imperfect brilliance,
that my heart will muster with all its strength
on the page,
this blank page,
it will teach you how to write,
it will teach you how to see,
a window to the endless stories of life.

hereβs to the fools who dream
do fools chase dreams,
or do dreams invite us in? --
in this dream, I exist.
a tree stands,
evergreen,
under it, I rest.
--
a house looms,
worn, ancient, lost.
--
your hand appears, warm, tightly clasped in mine.
--
do dreams let us in, or do we chase their distant glow?
do we dive deep by choice, or get swept in their flow?
if dreams are reflections of our thoughts and fears,
what is it are we looking for,
in these silent, private spheres?
--
maybe the answer isn't in the chase or the invitation,
but in shared moments under the evergreen,
a quiet affirmation,
that in dreams and when awake, it's love that we find,
the warmth of your hand, firmly held in mine.

Links i love:
Just recently discovered Laufeyβs music! Particularly adored this song βI Wish You Loveβ
Started watching Succession after hearing so many buzz about it and the fact that it just ended. This tweet has me dead:
Discovered a super cute Montreal comic made by a Montreal lover. Iβm floored by how adorable it is!
Interesting piece on how to (not) view AI art by Amanda Wong from Reboot! I thought this adds a great perspective among many takes on AI art out there.
Thanks so much for reading! See you tomorrow! :β)
