How stupid is Facebook's algorithm: let me count the ways!
I shared a link to an open-access RTE article months ago, and they just removed the post and flagged it for promoting counterfeit goods.

My theme today is “less is more.” Brevity can be powerful.

I love my toes in warm sand,
Holding your delicate hand,
Howling at the moon,
Belting out a favourite tune.
I love cats, bats, & silly hats,
I love to be me!
To be me—is to be free!

Libertas est simplicitas!
Simplicitas est libertas!

Simply Profound

Pleasure and pain,
Sunshine and rain,
The color of trees,
The antics of fleas,
Dogs on a walk,
An intimate talk,
Into the crucible,
Make poetry producible.

Profundo in rebus mundanis est!

Check out the poem I wrote this morning about the masks we wear: simple but profound.

Today I pay homage to those who sacrificed their lives for my freedom with a short piece of prose and a poem.

My poem about drama was inspired by my daughter's friend becoming isolated because of it. The emotional lure of drama can be like a Siren's call—beckoning and seductive but ultimately destructive.

While technically simple, Haikus are deceptively challenging to craft. Brevity and complexity make difficult bed-fellows! Three lines: 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Simple, not so!

Sun-kissed path unfolds,
Sparrow takes flight, day awakens,
Night descends, stars glow.

Morning has broken,
Sparrow's trill, day's light awakens,
Dusk descends, shadows dance.

🐶💭 Aren't you glad we don't behave like dogs?🐕🚶️ Can you imagine the 🤪😅 implications of meeting a person on the street…?😳🤔 To be honest—I much prefer a handshake 🤝😊 and a nod 👍🌞 to the weather.🌤️☂️

The following Haiku is about someone struggling with invisible disabilities. A Haiku is a form of poetry featuring three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. And a rather tricky endeavour to craft.

In shadows, I fight,
Thoughts like whispers in the wind,
Empathy brings light.

The act of planning is not enough in any case scenario; it must be accompanied by action! Planning alone is akin to stomping on the gas pedal when you are stuck in the mud: the engine roars, there is lots of noise, but the vehicle does not move, the problem is not solved, and you are still stuck in the mud! Intention without action—is an illusion.
