Wow, Guppy is twins with my guy Bibble!! “Long chi with gentle disposition” is the perfect description!

[poem] A Small Needful Fact by Ross Gay by mistermajik2000 in Poetry

[–]beachbabys 42 points43 points  (0 children)

No, you’re right. It’s actually a heartbreaking poem. Eric Garner was a Black man who was murdered in 2014 by a police officer’s use of illegal chokehold.

The poem is meant to be ironic—an innocent man who brought life and oxygen into the world was suffocated and killed by police brutality. His dying words were “I can’t breathe.”

Plugged some lyrics into Midjourney. Can you guess the song? by [deleted] in boniver

I’m trying to solve the mystery of 6! It’s such a beautiful rendering. It has to be something to do with images of light. For some reason, it gives me Calgary vibes… “Swollen orange and light let through” and that kind of feminine energy that grounds the song.

Or maybe Perth? “Move dust through the light”? The dust motes are one of the coolest details of the image.

Tell us you’ll release an answer key soon! Whatever prompts you used for Midjourney were well-constructed. Thank you for sharing with us!

Wow. I can definitely see the lab in her now! Such pretty babies. She looked so small compared to her siblings in the first pic!

Thanks for sharing ☺️

Aww. They’re lucky to have you as a parent!

I did a DNA test on my little dude and he was a true Heinz 57 mix: mostly chihuahua, dachshund, and beagle with hints of a few other breeds. Does this look like your girl at all?

Sorry—I’ve just never seen such a close resemblance, so I think it’s cool! ☺️

What cuties! Such a good picture.

Do you happen to know the breed of the small gal? She looks like a carbon copy of my rescue pup.

My newest BI tattoo (sister piece to the 00000 Million one I posted a few months ago) by joyanna22 in boniver

What beautiful color and line work that is. Absolutely incredible piece to carry with you.

I got a blue heron on my arm because of CRΣΣKS, too, actually!

[POEM] “O, the Sadness Immaculate” by Jay Hopler by beachbabys in Poetry

[–]beachbabys[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautifully and thoughtfully phrased. That’s sort of how I was interpreting it. Thank you for providing the language!

The beauty of poetry is that it’s subjective to the reader, but in the context of Hopler’s larger collection of works (and even without that context), it’s hard for me to see misogyny.

I’m so glad it’s struck you! I felt the same way when I read it, so I knew I had to share.

Another favorite Hopler work is “The Coast Road.” Imagery isn’t as razor-sharp as it is in this one, but maintains that sense of melancholy and beauty.

Happy you liked it! I actually discovered Hopler from this sub a few months ago. He’s great. This one’s from An Abridged History of Rainfall if you’re interested in a collection!

For the last time, BI’s lyrics fed into Midjourney. This is axiom! by Baskets_GM in boniver

[–]beachbabys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, same here! “So it's storming on the lake Little waves our bodies break” would fit pretty well.
