Poem to a Horse—this was me at the height of poetic hyperbole. Essentially I was comparing a love interest to a horse—who couldn’t appreciate what he had before him. #LaundryService20# #TimsListeningParty#

Gerard Manley Hopkins’ beautiful poem, Spring and Fall To A Young Child, perfectly captures both the loss of falling autumnal leaves and a child’s perception of her own mortality - pertinent on these three days of Allhallowtide. Márgarét, áre you gríeving Over Goldengrove unleaving? Leáves like the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? Ah! ás the heart grows older It will come to such sights colder By and by, nor spare a sigh Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie; And yet you wíll weep and know why. Now no matter, child, the name: Sórrow’s spríngs áre the same. Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed What heart heard of, ghost guessed: It ís the blight man was born for, It is Margaret you mourn for. Listen:

What makes a poem speak to you? Literature laureate T. S. Eliot strongly believed poetry should represent the complexities of modern civilisation. This made him one of the most daring innovators of 20th-century poetry. Learn more about Eliot here:

Love this poem from @McConaughey's "Poems & Prayers" that’s now on my nightstand. Looking forward to my conversation with Matthew and @Salesforce CMO Erin Oles tomorrow at @Dreamforce.

"Peyote" - a visual poem short film. Created via the fantastic creative platform that is @AskVenice Used Seedance 2.5 for all visuals and ElevenLabs music for the ambient track. The way Venice is set up and their access to unrestricted models really let me push this piece in the exact direction I wanted to go with it. Highly recommend checking it out!
