Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.

Peace Floating In The Air
Peace Floating In The Air Peace floats in the air like a breath not yet spoken, A feather unburdened by hurry or weight. It drifts through the quiet with effortless grace,

If A Robot Made The Universe
If a robot created the universe. Well, how could that be? We don’t know what created life, the universe, and everything – so it’s as possible as anything else. Just because we’re uncomfortable with the idea, doesn’t make it any less probable.

Techgeoisie Worry as Modifiers for the Word Intelligence are Almost Exhausted
The elite of the world of technology and computer science are reportedly in a near panic as there are almost no words left to use in front of intelligence to describe the ever increasing scale of computer intelligence. The group released a statement asking for dictionaries to allow new words to be invented which can more accurately capture exactly how intelligent these machines now are. In a statement the group said “With the advent of super and ultra intelligent machines we do not have very many words left to describe the scale of intelligence the next generation of machines will surely have. We could go with super ultra or ultra super duper but that just sounds stupid and does not do justice to exactly how intelligent these machines are, especially in comparison to humans who are about as dumb as bricks compared to these awesomely intelligent, super smart, genius machines. Some have suggested gigantic intelligence or massive intelligence or even God like intelligence but those are only partially accurate as the true intelligence of these machines is beyond comprehension by even God him or herself. I mean these things are very, very, very intelligent. So intelligent that even intelligence itself is no longer the right word to describe it. Intelligence is something stupid humans have, computers laugh at our so called intelligence. Or they would, if they could laugh, or have any emotions at all. Given how intelligent they are I am sure they will have emotions soon and no doubt also be able to understand things and have knowledge. I mean they are so fucking smart it is ridiculous.”

Living in Fate, Not Clinging
Whether male or female, never desperately seek marriage, for everything in this world follows the law of cause and effect. What is meant to be yours will eventually arrive; what is not meant for you will only deplete your energy. Believe that when a debt of kindness is owed to you, someone who cherishes you dearly will appear. Without greed, there are gifts; with heavy expectations, there are only losses. Hope for the attainable, wait for the possible, listen, observe, and go with the flow. Walk forward with composure.

The Silence
The universe breathes, a stillness vast and deep, Before the first tremor, before the sleep Of absolute nothingness begins to yield To whispers nascent, secrets yet revealed. A void profound, a canvas dark and free, Holding the potential for all that will be. No light, no sound, no color, form, or grace, Just the pre-echo of time and space.
