RAIN A drop of rain falling –it didn’t know where its parents were,It didn’t know where its companions wereall it knew was falling. The wind took it up, turning it overcuriousfingering the bead of it until it shone.It lay dead-weight in the palm, submissiveto all the wind’s intimacies. But the wind had other business caught up […]

*”BEAUTIFUL” ~Maxwanette A Poetess🌹 ✒🌹
The little things that capture life,snippets of songs, echo all night.Some words can cut just like a knife,yet those same words, can bring delight. The smallest things at times grow big,if no one ever handles it.A strong green branch still carries twigs,light sees the dark, while dark is lit. The trivial things that haunt a […]
The Thing Is…
*Beautiful piece!
Some of you readers with a good memory may recall a post I did last May discussing the Kindku, an invented poetry form inspired by both traditional Japanese forms (like the haiku and tanka) and Found Poetry. Recently one of that form’s creators, Cendrine Marrouat, contacted me to let me know about a brand new […]
Invented Poetry Forms – The Sepigram
Photography credit: Eunice Stahl You can’t feel it with your fingers With your ears, it can’t be heard The loudest silence lingers In the space between words Forces of nature exist To roll you off the beaten path Try as you might to resistAnd you may feel nature’s wrath With any luck, you’ll fall down Upon a […]

*Beautiful piece!
Speech Error Detection Squad for Blunders & Bloopers SoundEagle says: This whimsical post shows that whilst some notable forms of allusion, imitation, appropriation, resignification, reinterpretation or recontextualization are based on the clever use of literary devices and the intentional modifications of existing quotations or statements, others are due to the situational outcomes of misapplication, contradiction, […]

*”Love It!!!”
We belong to brooks that don’t babble or attract Among huge trees that remain leafless in spring We dance in rains that leave the ground dry We have to enjoy at festivals that suck us dry We are brothers to the owls at night We are broken, we are hungry for life.
We are hungry for life
*”A deep & profound piece”~Maxwanette A Poetess
Today I opened the old typewriter. Belongs to another world inside a black wooden box. I kept the black stripes inked, put down a sheet of paper and wrote: “THE MONOCHROME EXPERIENCE” in the only typography available, a steel Courier in capital letters (the maximum size than the keyboard reaches). I heard the sound of […]

LIKE A BOUQUET SOUND
That autumn morning
a vibrant melody invaded
the porch lit by the sun
Wow, she exclaimed, delighted…
What an inspiring melody comes
to my ears, as if it were a
bouquet of musical notes
warming my soul, delights never seem
Music is a form of poetry,
An invitation to enchantment,
is a levitation of emotions so
intense feeling, ecstatic
Every note was like a whisper
so as not to wake up the bucolic
city of almost childish dreams
where fascination enchants
The magic is remade
in the glow of the eye,
in the sweetness of words,
on kisses that lips sip

SHORTCUT TO PEACE
Spread your wings over us,
O Liberty!
May our right of expression
be resoected and our claims accepted
Spread your wings over us,
O Liberty!
May the Power established from
systems not rob us the perception
between good and evil
Freedom, however late, will always bê
better than darkness of intolerância
that oppresses stealing our dreams
Concious freedom is a shortcut to Peace!

BRUME MIND
Blind as the torpor of Brume
Which silently invades the dawn
So you were, without seeing my love
Awesome as the mist I was by your side
But you did not see me,
With a clouded mind you stayed
Your interests were different from mine,
Your dreams have crossed other routes,
Your goals have lost their meaning,
Because without seeing where you were
We get lost in each other at the fork
That haze your feelings and senses

“True Courage”
Elizabeth:
What does it take to have true courage?
In a world where there seems to be fear everywhere
A brave heart emerges from the ruins,
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
Shahid:
Let’s start
From inside the core of our hearts,
We are brave
We will change the world
Not just with words spoken but coupled with actions.
Elizabeth:
Restless hearts afraid of taking risks,
But real courage knocks at your door
When determination resurfaces
To climb even the tallest mountain peak.
Shahid:
We should listen
To the voice of the innocent
With courage
Don’t blame
Don’t claim
Make a stand, say your stand.
Elizabeth:
Making a stand for what is right
Is the catalyst for change
The courageous stands tall,
Not even the biggest fear can trample.
Shahid:
True courage exists inside a brave man’s heart,
Hearts can change the universe
Awake! Get up…
And let real courage be your soul’s part.
Elizabeth:
The wandering spirit
Roaming the world leaving footprints of triumph
Let no man walk alone,
Saying “Be courageous my child.”
Shahid:
Yay! Loneliness is bad
As the wise people of before said
Don’t be sad….
Do your best efforts and make history
That the brave can change his fate.

Who Is SEB?…SEB is the abbreviation for Society for Economic Botany.
About The Society for Economic Botany
The Society for Economic Botany (SEB) is about people exploring the uses of, and our relationship with plants, cultures and our environment—plants and human affairs. our environment—plants and human affairs. You might well call our research and educational efforts, the science of survival.
We were established in 1959 and our mission is to foster and encourage scientific research, education, and related activities on the past, present, and future uses of plants, and the relationship between plants and people, and to make the results of such research available to the scientific community and the general public through meetings and publications.
Membership in SEB is open to all individuals interested in economic botany and in the promotion of research in this field.
With members from across the 50 U.S. states and more than 64 countries around the globe, SEB serves as the world’s largest and most-respected professional society for individuals who are concerned with basic botanical, phytochemical and ethnological studies of plants known to be useful or those which may have potential uses so far undeveloped. It is recognized that the field of economic botany includes all or parts of many established disciplines such as: agronomy, anthropology, archaeology, chemistry, economics, ethnobotany, ethnology, forestry, genetic resources, geography, geology, horticulture, medicine, microbiology, nutrition, pharmacognosy, and pharmacology, in addition to the established botanical disciplines.
ECONOMIC BOTANY IS ABOUT PLANTS AND HUMAN AFFAIRS
In a 1958 essay at the conference which was to found the Society for Economic Botany, David J. Rogers wrote, “A current viewpoint is that economic botany should concern itself with basic botanical, phytochemical and ethnological studies of plants known to be useful or those which may have potential uses so far underdeveloped. Economic botany is, then, a composite of those sciences working specifically with plants of importance to [people].” Closely allied with economic botany is ethnobotany, a growing field which emphasizes plants in context of the anthropological sciences. Some would say that science is what scientists do, perhaps the best defintion of economic botany is found in the work presented in our journal and at annual meetings of the Society.
Our publication, ECONOMIC BOTANY, was founded in 1947 by Edmund H. Fulling at the New York Botanical Garden. William J. Robbins, then Director of the Garden, wrote in the first issue that this new botanical magazine would “;….serve as a common meeting place for botanists interested primarily in fundamental principles and others who are concerned with economic applications of those principles and with the industrial utlization of plants and plant products.”
ECONOMIC BOTANY, is a quarterly international journal devoted to the publication of original research, review papers, historical studies, and book reviews. Recent issues have included such topics as ethnobotanical and phytochemical studies, research on origin and evolution of crop plants, the ecology and history of traditional food plants, and studies on arid land plants with potential for local development. https://www.econbot.org/home/about/about-seb.html
Who Is ISE?…ISE is an abbreviation for the International Society of Ethnobiology. The International Society of Ethnobiology (ISE) is a global, collaborative network of individuals and organizations working to preserve vital links between human societies and the natural world.
Ethnobiologists recognize that indigenous peoples, traditional societies, and local communities are critical to the conservation of biological, cultural and linguistic diversity.
Central to our mission is creating a space for dialogue, cooperation, and action across diverse languages, cultures, and worldviews. The ISE strives to channel this work into sound research methods, policies, resource use, and decision-making.
The vision of the ISE is reflected in its Code of Ethics, to which all Members are bound. https://www.ethnobiology.net/
