Thank you, Arjan. I've been meaning to revisit your post about blockchains and whatnot about which I'm curious but uncomprehending.

You're welcome, Jonathan. The blockchain thing can be intimidating. But in reality it isn't. There's the bit that you read about in the news, and there's a whole other world that is basically doing what we are doing on Substack, but then on blockchains. It can be really nice. The interesting thing is that it's a world with everything you can imagine. There are poems available for less than a coffee, and there's currently a poem on auction for which the current bid is 7000 dollar.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Thanks, Stan. Not as fun or instructive as I wish but I'm glad a bit of that comes through.

1.

Sunlight gently wakes,

Haiku whispers in my mind,

Apollo's embrace.

2.

Words like morning dew,

His haiku paints joyous scenes,

Apollo's blessing.

3.

Monthly subscription,

A gateway to poetic bliss,

Apollo's favor.

4.

His titles I hold,

Treasures of verse and beauty,

Apollo's gift.

5.

With each line I read,

Apollo's presence lingers,

Blessings of poetry.

6.

Awakening smile,

His haiku sparks inspiration,

Apollo's divine touch.

7.

In the morning light,

I find solace and delight,

Apollo's poetry.

Thank you, Gloria. I love the summoning of Apollo here. I could use a good word from the oracle of Delphi.
