The Onchain Poetry Digest 18

Like what you love, collect what you can

In the weeks that suddenly crypto is rising again, we again found a wonderful collection of onchain poems. Still mostly on Tezos, but on other chains as well. Personally, I've been experimenting with Zora. I love how they created a protocol reward scheme by wich you can earn from 'free' mints. Every mint on Zora costs a small mint fee. Part of that goes to the platform, but a big part is reserved for the creator. They also have first minter rewards going to the person who is the first to mint, and referrer fees for people sharing the art with their friends (and the art being minted from that sharing). I encourage you to explore this L2 blockchain for minting. All you need is an ethereum-compatible wallet.

Also worth noticing, the wonderful upcoming collection of Ana Maria Caballere: Paperwork. I don't think the minting has started yet, but the project is amazing. It shows one way how poetry can connect to your life, and how you can take insights from it, that do not have to be the same as the poet's. I call that the tripple effect: the poet, the poem and the reader together create unique meaning. Anyway, check out the beautiful collection Paperwork and Ana's Twitter thread on the back story.

On to the poetry

Incorporal

Incorporal Morrer é deixar de ser voz é tornarsse eco é voltar a ser eco Ecoar é a profunda natureza humana A alma é do campo vibrátil, é frequência é vibração, A menor unidade atômica é uma corda é um pulso como condição de possibilidade Existência é um corpo emprestado que permite a alma vibrar

Materialidade Provisória

Materialidade Provisória Encostar os dedos na caixa de som para ouvir música Escutar a materialidade pulsando no centro imantado , vibração que passa diretamente de um corpo para o outro , na oscilação criando sentido , melodia e ritmo Imaterial concreto no ar propagado entre conexões atômicas até o instante onde o silêncio é peremptório

A Distinct Meld - Simplicity

The triad of pieces for this series began with the text versions being rather "simple" hence the simplicity name. However, I started to use these to mess around with font colors, styles, and sizing. This one feels both a little simpler than some recent ones, while a little less simple in other ways.

A Distinct Meld - Mechanical

The background for this piece was created using AI and typing in the poem title. Then I use the color change tool in Photoshop to add some flavor to it. My birthstone is emerald and My Love's is amethyst. I love these two colors and feel they're a perfect match.

A picture of our dwelling for the past almost year. It has everything my love and I need because it has each other. Well, that and our dog Sephiroth, though he likes to hang out with his dog pack - Jujubean, his sister, and Butterbean, his nephew.

D #001 January fifth...

D #001 January fifth Have decided to write, to put into words thoughts before they drown in the weight of memory, words are eternal, or at least, they do not succumb to death like the mind, I feel that my mind is dissipating, fragmenting into pieces that I can observe, but cannot reassemble, cursed kintsugi that is impossible for me.

D #001 Cinco de Janeiro Decidi escrever, colocar em palavras pensamentos antes que se afoguem no peso da memoria, palavras são eternas, ou pelo menos, não sucubem a morte como a mente, sinto que minha mente está esvaindo, desfragmentanda em cacos que consigo observar, mas não recompor, maldito kintsugi que me é impossivel.
