As a kid, I thought adults had everything figured out. Now I get excited when the store has my favorite bread, I have no idea what I’m doing half the time, and I’m pretty sure everyone else is winging it too. Here’s some poems. 💙💙💙 #poetry #blueskypoets #writingcommunity #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoet

A humorous, affectionate poem about how growing older changes our definition of happiness, until something as ordinary as buying a good kitchen sponge becomes a small shared joy.
The Good Sponge
When I was young,
I dreamed of having money,
freedom,
and a house of my own.
Yesterday,
I bought a new kitchen sponge.
I showed it to my wife.
She agreed
it was a good sponge.
I don't know
when this became happiness,
but I think
we're doing okay.

A playful poem about the endless responsibilities of adulthood, particularly the exhausting realization that deciding what to make for dinner is a problem that returns every single day.
Dinner Again
Nobody warned me
that adulthood meant
deciding what to eat
every single day
for the rest
of my natural life.
I made dinner yesterday.
Apparently,
that doesn't count
for today.
At this point,
I'd welcome
a little jury duty.

A reflective poem about reaching the age your father was when you believed he knew everything, and realizing that his confidence may have concealed the same uncertainty and fear you experience as an adult.
The Age My Father Was
I reached the age
my father was
when I thought
he knew everything.
I remember asking him
what we should do
when something went wrong.
He always had an answer.
Now I wonder
how many times
he was just as frightened
as I am,
and answered anyway.

A warm, relatable poem about never quite feeling like a proper adult, despite managing everyday responsibilities. It suggests that growing up may simply mean caring for others and doing your best without knowing all the answers.
No Instructions Included
I thought someday
I'd wake up
and feel like an adult.
Instead,
I lose my keys,
forget why I entered rooms,
and occasionally eat cereal
over the kitchen sink.
But the bills get paid.
The dog gets fed.
Someone I love
knows they are loved.
Maybe growing up
isn't knowing what you're doing.
Maybe it's doing your best
without the instructions

Do the French REALLY believe the British Museum will return the Bayeux Tapestry?

Our Social Security system is fully affordable. If we make billionaires pay in at the same rate as the rest of us, we can afford to protect and expand benefits for current and future generations.

Been thinking lately (yes, that was that funny noise you heard...) about the stealing of #NationalArchives collections from Anchorage, Seattle and other places and I am terrified by the prospect of these priceless collections being fed into the maw of AI LLM's.

About that Arch. A 🧵. Yes, THAT Arch. There is a reason Washington, D.C. doesn't have a monument to American triumphs. That's because we have never been a triumphal nation. We have won wars but never gloated about it. That makes us unique, in some quarters. We memorialize but don't celebrate. /1

If you enjoy the British intelligence genre, then may I suggest you look up The Sandbaggers on that tube of yours? Also, @anchistorian.bsky.social, there's an interesting Alaska angle here, as well.
