Later Than Witchcraft, Still
Doggerel Dave said:
I\'d attribute the exisence of \'witchcraft\' today, in the loose sese you use it, to the placebe effect. Separately note the prevalence of ignorance everywhere. Enjoyed the write.

The Moon is Always Rising, Never Setting
sorenbarrett said:
A lovely poem that explores the aspects of the moon from one detail to the next and then even adds in a metaphor or two and personification as well. Nicely done

It is because the earth revolves around the sun in nearly 365 days and not in 360. To keep the seasons in place we have to add one day every leap year as it is...

The -Ane Mistake
sorenbarrett said:
Simply out of my love for etymology I loved this poem. Words that sound similar are not always related and poetry is the playing with words and their sounds to evoke feelings. Nicely done and a fave

New Revolutionary Calendar Coming to EU in 2028
sorenbarrett said:
Lovely and fanciful a fun read too bad 365 is not evenly divisible by twelve. The five day holiday reminds me of an old biblical measure for the calendar. Like the metric system I am sure there will be hold outs and that ought to cause some scheduling problems. All in good fun a lovely and most creative piece.

Come In, Spinner
sorenbarrett said:
A great tale told in poetic form with good rhyme. Probability will tell you that the chance of getting two of the same on a throw remains the same despite how many occur in a row but the one betting feels that the chances increase with each double throw. Well done

Well done it seems?

The Game of Borrowed Names
sorenbarrett said:
Viruses, ransomware, phishing, malware all lie inside this Trojan horse. Very nicely crafted with great metaphor and so well imaged in a harmless appearing story that could be mythical or a children\'s story it mocks the very issue it talking about. Clever and well crafted it got into my brain. A fave
