Well I have sucked at this blog thus far.

With little to no awareness of my blogger meta existence I presume that I have not posted here for like 2 years maybe a little more or less, whatever.

So I begin...

The format of literacy is changing and to that end I think that this first of my posts in such a very long time will address the idea of the #Hashtag in poetry.  Poetry has traditionally been a rules optional place for things such as grammar, skill, intelligence.  That being said some of the most skilled poetry deftly wields those three tools to artistically interpret  the poet's meta-state into a beautifully arranged and clearly conveyed message of the somewhat undefinable. 

#Hashtags define things.  They help to elucidate the meaning of a message that likely contains some form of peer to peer kairos and translate that individual message into one of broader significance.  Originally notes from the human masters to their computer slaves #hashtags have become a more of a peer to peer subtle meaning decryption tool for those presumed to be [metaphorically] thick... or just out of sync with the micro culture of the clique of the writer.

Now we must ask ourselves how can the use of #hashtags help to strengthen my poetry?  Well poetry for the most part goes on a trip to feelings land and who couldn't use a few #hashtags there...  for instance I feel tired and want to be done writing this post.

Had I left this post off here you might feel that ending was a bit abrupt, but with the addition of #hashtags...

#YOLO, #This is the worst, #Why did I try and restart my blog, #YOLO, #Power Rangers

Maybe in another couple years I will come up with something better to say here.
