I often say that a majority of my values consist of "C's." Community, conversation, collaboration, compassion, and creativity. I ask myself every day how I can live by those values.

For years now, I have asked people for words to make poetry with. Whether I'm at a party, in a discord server, or on a date, my little party trick is making poetry on the spot. I decided to take my passion to Farcaster. I asked people in the /poetry channel for 3 words to create poems with. I'll update this post as more people comment and more poetry is written, so click here if you'd like to participate.

SQUEEZE PLASTIC WASHINGTON

@torii-stories

i heard my tribe is in washington

but seattle tends to shun

the powerful rays of the sun

that i must make my offerings to

texas is in red and they are in blue

but purple is where i find my truth

because i see entities with virtue

when i squeeze into the middle

politics to me mean very little

when the universe has so many riddles

but everyone else they seem to piddle

when plastic is busy poisoning our home

where is the violet commune?

TRIPPY YACHT BUFFET

@coolbeans1r.eth

my mind’s baggage

sits bubble wrapped

in a package

i’m shipping it

on a trippy ship

called the psilocybin yacht

i’m sending this box

to arrive when the clock

strikes 4:44

so the future me

will have more and more

to digest

during her test

that she will be preparing for

by consuming

a mushroom buffet

that will accelerate her blooming

into one day

the wonderful cherry tree

she knows she’s supposed to be

PAPER HANDS VISAGE

@maretus.eth

behind this peculiar mirage

you will see my ethereal visage

watching the montage

of my life go by

as i ask myself why

i tear paper from notebooks

and rip up all my good hooks

my hands demand

to write for the masses

who don’t understand

something deeper than what

they already know

i want to show them the ether’s glow
