2. Get rated & rate others: Are they hot, hot, hot (10)? Or are they not, not, not (1)? Share your thoughts using anything from a sliding scale of 1-10, to ✅ or ❎s, to whatever else you can think of. Agree? Disagree? Tell us why!

[ On the ground... ]

I wouldn't worry about that
you come across as very sincere

[30storieshigh]

Then consider me as gratified as a feline that has devoured an avian 😁.

[saudadist]

[ At least he got that idiom right? Mostly. ]

someday your way with words will lead to poetry

[30storieshigh]

[ Sarcasm escapes him, so he's currently sat in his room pulsing with pride. Literally, pulsing pink. It's a reflex. ]

That is kind and insightful of you 😁. I do not yet create my own but I have endeavored to study this "poetry" 📜👀. "A person who has not studied poetry is the poorer for the lack", as Hojo Soun said.

[saudadist]

never read it myself
bad education

but it always seemed like there's no bad poetry
you write what you feel
what you think
try to connect it to life itself and the act of living
being alive

maybe I should read up on it too

[30storieshigh]

"Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel." There is always time to add better kindling 🔥.

Perhaps we could study this together 🤝, if you like. Many claws make for weightless pursuits.

[saudadist]

[ Honestly? Yeah. If a giant lizard can learn poetry, she supposes she doesn't have an excuse. She can at least give it a try. ]

sure, I'm game
what poet have you been reading up on lately?

[30storieshigh]

Currently I find myself between Tennyson and Sappho. The latter has had much work regrettably lost to time ☹️, however what remains is striking.

[saudadist]

I'll have to give them a look
especially Sappho, if their work is that rare

[30storieshigh]

This is good 😁. You are welcome to join at my nesting room or the lair of books should you wish for company as you read. I have been told such activities are gratifying when in the presence of others, such as the circle of the knit, or the clubs made of books.

Though I confess, I do not quite understand why creating a club out of pulped wood bound in hide is an enjoyable activity 🤔.

[saudadist]

club is a homonym
it can mean the weapon
or it can mean a group of people with a shared interest

I don't know why it has the second meaning but it's probably got roots in a language I don't know
either way, that sounds fun

[30storieshigh]

Many names for one thing, one name for many things. Human language is very difficult 🤯.

But yes. Fun. I look toward the bow to having fun with you, friend Kaede 😁.

[saudadist]

[ aw he called her "friend"

She still has no idea what some of his words mean but she can hazard a guess. ]

yeah, I look forward to it too

[30storieshigh]

[-sama? He actually gets this one, that's a sign of respect isn't it? A significant one! That has him pulsing with pride, literally his bioluminescence is going off. ]

😄😁👌👍💯
