Dragonfly
Impressions of a Beautiful Creature
I do get inspiration from unexpected sources and this is one of those. This just came into my mind, Dragonfly, a poem, a Butterfly Cinquain, though I don’t think there is a Dragonfly Cinquain.
Dragonflies to the order Odonata, infraorder Anisoptera (from Greek ἄνισος anisos, "unequal" and πτερόν pteron, "wing", because the hindwing is broader than the forewing). Which is something that I was unaware of.
I have chosen the song by the Strawbs to accompany this which is the title track to their album.

I Love It When You Ring My Doorbell
I love the simple complexity of Jack White's songs and this White Stripes song, "My Doorbell" has inspired me to write another poem. I love any form of contact from friends so this is an open invitation to everyone.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
