Sonnets

A Gilded Lie

Vibe Coding 25

Written while waiting for annual check up in the dentist's waiting room, on the day it became 'Word of the Year'. Pushed for time, it has a rather poor acrostic. Performed by The Crown Jewels (feat. Molly Molar).

Lyngen Lodge

After our Christmas 2025 at Lyngen Lodge, Olderdalen, Norway, 69.5N as a tribute to those looking after us, I colabotated with Chris to make this. The fourteen line acrostic is, as if by magic, 'Northern Lights'.

Borne By The Sun

Written while walking ontop the Franz Josef Glacier. The form is without the ending rhyming couplet. The twelve line acrostic spells 'wakatopatopa' the Maori for 'helicopter'.

Unencumbered

Can you see like Buddha? These back to back files both contain back to back sonnets and both may help your long range scans. In each, the first half outlines the problem. The second, its solution.

Plain Verse

One Continuous Art

Chaos Born

Villanelles

Hypergiants

Two of the biggest, UY Scuti and WOHG 64 are both shedding their yellow layers into space forming nurseries. Then gravity gathers them into new stars, planets and eventually the very molecules that make you possible.
