@w-o-holmes You mean irony? Because I love irony. But never mind if you meant satire.
Anyway, I reread your poem. To be brutally honest, the first time I read it I didn’t like it because it didn’t make a bit of sense to me. It took a second reading, but now I can see more of what you’re trying to say. I like the parallel you make between minds and mines. I assume the “vast assorted articles” are the wisdom you see in others, possibly also a pun— the articles on the blog. I’m still not sure what you meant by this:
“I find a rag of watered well.
I take it up and grip it firm
The ends don’t meet, they leave the worm.”
Overall, I think you did well. You have nice cadence and word images. 👍
