no oars here fit my fingers,
winds, tides, don't move me:
where's the boat going
memory rocks me,
side to side, and keel to prow;
which moves: boat or clouds
i remember salt
in your long dusk kiss,
lasting until stars came out
this is age: i'm half-submerged,
half eyeless, afloat
on half-perfect grace
now, i'm spending as much time
bailing as i am rowing !

"the boat of age," a sonnet: published under the terms of CPOPL (Code Project Open Poetic License) © 2019, Bill Woodruff
an experiment in using 'modified haiku' form in a sonnet where each stanza contains one line of seven syllables, and two lines of five syllables. the final couplet composed of two seven syllable lines
i set myself the challenge, of making the seven-syllable line move sequentially in the order of the stanzas, beginning in line one of the first stanza, and, finally, reappearing as line one in the last (fourth) stanza ... just for fun

There's a story by Poul Andreson, The Boat of a Million Years, that deals with immortality and immortals. Did you ever read it?

Hi, Daniel,
I haven't read sci-fi in so many years; although the name rings a bell, I can't remember ... maybe when the tide goes out ...
There is a "psychic" influence on this poem from the late Agha Shahid Ali's masterpiece , "Farewell:"Quote: excerpt:
I am being rowed through Paradise in a river of Hell:
Exquisite ghost, it is night.
The paddle is a heart; it breaks the porcelain waves.
It is still night. The paddle is a lotus.
I am rowed- as it withers-toward the breeze which is soft as
if it had pity on me.
Agha Shahid Ali (1949 ~ 2001)
«One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.» Salvador Dali

I went super quickly on my 8+.
A quick look at changes ...
The App store does not have a tab for app updates (replaced with the new Arcade?) ?
The Mail app, there's no way to directly move a mail to a mailbox ?
I'd rather be phishing!

My article on the subject 'Generated Columns in PostgreSQL' has been deleted because it allegedly plagiarized official PostgreSQL doc on the subject. I had copied some content from the article and rephrased it and had mentioned the official link as one of the references in the article. Is it still considered plagiarism? Can I dispute it?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes you can. We'll look into it.
cheers

Thanks Chris. This is the link to the article: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5246207/Generated-Columns-in-PostgreSQL
Please look into this, I don't see any links to reply in the notification email.

That is a very good FAQ. I think I will use it on my site! 
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

In case of delay, they must belay questions, lest their parents shiver their timbres.

Amish DUI, two men flee after drinking and buggying
I think if the horse wasn't drunk it shouldn't count.
I thought this post was relevant since we are talking about disappearing alcoholic horses
