I have no need of shelter
Limbless mute and blind
Waiting through the weather
Brings others of my kind

Running from the fire
It starts to disappear
Fat or flat or thin as wire

Rime Riddle #20
With every turn it returns
Always to the same position
As the medium that it churns
Is pushed out and also pulled in

Rime Riddle #21
A mote of dust reveals its rise
Or ripples spreading from shores
Shaping nebulae in the skies
Dancing to intricate laws

Sponge 1.14 is coming soon
Still working on the files
Something of a wooden spoon
But at least the beast compiles
Sponge 1.14 is almost ready
Put on your blissful smiles
It may be a tad unsteady
Though it finally compiles
Tweaks and breaks abundant
Updated tiles and styles
Soon to become redundant
And so what? The thing compiles!
Mystical mixins are spoken
Sponge API beguiles
Almost everything broken
Rock on, it still compiles
Spongineers are anxious
Chanting fills the aisles
There’s no need to thank us
When at last, Sponge compiles

I once managed to "show" the wavefunction of matter was zero everywhere. -- dualspiral
Logical Decay
When the question holds the answer
And the premises are false
Where skepticism’s cancer
Spreads into the pulse
Reason pivots like a dancer
To a point that will revulse
The message of this stanza
Never multiply by nulls
Contradictory supposition
From a plethora of fools
Lacking inhibition
Creating nonsense rules
Proclaiming a mission
To sharpen all the tools
Elected to the position
Truly, Nonsense Rules

Sponge: The Epic - Part 73.650
SpongeAPI is still improving
Development brimming from the cup
Too many moving parts are moving
To divine which way is up
It bumped and jumped over 1.14
Causing some surprise and dismay
But Forge moved on to a new scene
Spongedev can no longer delay
Spongie’s 6th birthday is imminent
As is a release for 1.15
Be a witness at our next event
And celebrate SOS 19

The only thing that keeps me sane in these troubling times
is my friendship with my collection of singing potatoes
Inner Space
The sky screams
With a sound of regret
Bitter tears fall from the sky
The sword gleams
Within darkness beset
By terrors from behind the eye
Fevered dreams
Released in cold sweat
Shadows find places to lie
Not as it seems
Infused alien aspect
Everything feels slightly awry

Why is there no weather
Inside of the Nether
When the overworld rages with storms?
In the land deep down under
At least it could thunder
Or rain fire of various forms
We could make ash snowmen
Fill lava buckets again
As everything flammable cowers
If we follow this trend
Then what of The End?
There must be invisible showers

Sponge: The Epic - Part 75.023
In command of the Flotilla
Admiral Zidane reads the chart
SOS nineteen is a thriller
Where the audience plays a part
Let the fools and heroes join
The Royale battle for survival
Let them wager many a coin
As Dualspiral duels a rival
Steady sails the beta release
As we crest the wave of 1.15
SpongeDev’s latest showpiece
Not just told but also seen
Under the sunken cathedral
The tunnel rats refuse to drown
So we invoke methods medieval
And blow up the entire town

No Wooden Equines Here
In the forest trees were few
Their beloved leader stood
The axe said I am one of you
For my handle’s made of wood
Do not let the perfect
Be the enemy of the good
But do remember to inspect
The gift beneath it’s hood

When we hear the phrase “it’s not working” we reach for the magic-8 ball.

Quantum fluctuations were the precursor to the inhomogeneity of the early universe prior to the big bang.Wow, that’s a freaky 8-ball! – sibomots
Taken Root
The rain and the wind and the land
Conspired to construct a tree
No artificer’s guiding hand
Their nature allowed to run free
Gnarled and tangled from its roots
To the twisted leafy crown
Interwoven growing shoots
Mingling grey and green and brown
From rugged trunks flowers unfurled
Yielding to the seasons’ demands
Forests shaped and shaping their world
Descendants still tending the lands

Polishing Sponge
Our yellow code crusader
Deftly turns over the page
All the fruits of her labour
Flying across the stage
Holding six of one and
A half dozen of other
Too many to understand
Or not enough to bother
Sponge API given breath
Melding old things and new
This shambling shibboleth
Will be coming for you!
