@thalrex For some reason, Spotify isn't letting me listen to that track. I can listen to your other tracks though.

My words don't feel worthy tonight
They cover themselves in cloaks of obscurity
Pulled tight around their intended meanings
Cowering in shadow pools of insecurity

(I see) they remember the steps of the dance
But tremble, syllables unsure and cluttered
Rhymes demure and chaotic in meter
Stragglers carried along by quiet desperation

@georgetakei He could give away the phones, I still wouldn't use them.

Ok, I'm going to make a dedicated effort to start posting here on Mastodon more often, and spend less time on Twitter. Twitter may not completely collapse (without me, lol) but the way its headed, its not a place I'll want to stick around long. It's obvious Musk intends to let the worst of the worst back on there, all for his "anti-wokeism" crusade. Might as well call it an anti-common-decency crusade.

@timwoodruff Well, at least it got you started! Sometimes that's the hardest part, knowing what's possible.

Reprimand on the wind
So distant it could be
Imaginary
Disturbed the Beast offers
A head tilt
And a sniff to the breeze
Carrying disapproval's chill
And biting into ego's flesh
So weak and unprotected

Such is the price of being alone
And alive in this forest of thought

Fingers curl crooked on my throat
And others work my diaphragm
Me: becoming
Midnight's ambient puppet
Forced to growl in piano
Notes I don't play
A silent howl
Picked clean of meaning
The carcass of creativity Decomposes
As the spirit of intent drifts away

@ImmortalisHorror Have to agree, all of them are good in their own ways, though.

Interesting. The default "toot" window size is slightly smaller than Twitter's, so if you have poetry formatted for Twitter, it messes up the line breaks here on Mastodon. Something for Mastodon poets to keep in mind, I guess.

To the end of certainty
I've stretched my inquisition
To the lip of its limit
I am impelled (I plead)
No implication of choice
Simply reactions to actions
Forever (forgiven?)
Perhaps
They are visions
A blink won't erase
These behaviors
Etched in my mind

@michlsloan@mastodon.scot Mastodon features the ability to follow a hashtag, so if you search for #writingcommunity , for instance, you could follow that and you would see all the accounts that post with that hashtag. I hope that helps you find who/what you're looking for!

I figured out what the problem was. I actually had another Mastodon account on a different server that I created earlier this year, and every time I'd click a link for a Mastodon account, it would ask me to sign in on that other server, rather than the one I'm currently using. Now I just need to figure out how to get my browser to forget that other server as the default...

Ok, I've been following a lot of Twitter exile accounts, but there is something a bit clunky about it. When I click on their link, the Mastodon page that opens asks me to login, but doesn't recognize my password, so I have to search for each account on my open page that I'm logged in on, and find them that way. Clunky.

@Mastodon Definitely like being able to follow a hashtag!
