Some Recent (And Not So Recent) Poetic Forms And Projects
Introduction I decided to write a drabble (a story in exactly a hundred words) and then, like I often do, thought what if I turned it into a poem, with a constant line syllable count as a series of consecutive ABAB rhyme quatrains and was shocked how much harder it was than writing a simple story. I also could not use emojis to split the verses because they are counted as words, although I could have used a graphic, but I didn't think of that. Maybe I will find one and add it.

Ready to Release the Past and Live in the Now?
All of a sudden, I no longer have to worry about internal conflicts. That feels so good! Indeed, if you made the wrong choice, it was the wrong choice. Don’t keep thinking about what would have happened in the past. It’s impossible for every choice in life to be correct. Even if you were to do many things over again, with your experience and mindset at that time, you would still likely make the same choice, and the result would still be inevitable.
