Onchain poetry seems as alive as it ever was, with an explosion of freshly minted poems in the past two weeks. It's good to see so many poets creating new work. Still predominantly on Tezos, as well, but also on other chains. And it's not just poetry itself that excites. In the past two weeks, there were two collections that are poetry-related (and created by poets) that I thought were certainly worth a special mention. First is the collection [Murder by (Loco)motive](https://frogpoet.github.io/oddwritings/details/murder_by_(loco)motive.htm), created by OddWritings. He is a true OG onchain poet, who keeps experimenting on the edge of Web3. His crafts wonderful poems and then publishes them, looking for what is the best way to utilise the blockchain landscape. Now, he is turning his poem Murder by (Loco)motive into an AI project, where he uses groups of 3 words from the poem to prompt AI art. Every piece is created by another set of 3 words from the poem. You can mint these pieces on different blockchains, for example Polygon. [**Murder by (Loco)motive 20 - Murder by (Loco)motive on Polygon - NiftyKit** This is the image generated from the twentieth set of 3 words of my poem "Murder by (Loco)motive" set against the corresponding words in my book by the same name ( [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CH5N5HZK](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CH5N5HZK) ). The words appear at the bottom of the image. https://app.niftykit.com The second collection is by Sasha Stiles, who needs no introduction in this space. Next to her ground-breaking poetry, she also creates other art. Her most recently minted project is titled [Biblio-tech](https://objkt.com/collection/KT1AYpXcS8k9y3CbEpo3cukptgsR6sdyDRj2), in which she re-imagines books and writing tools. The collection hold beautiful pieces, such as the Keyboard For Jaded Poets. [**KEYBOARD FOR JADED POETS** A generative metaphor... BIBLIO-TECH is a collection of rare books, minted matter and poetic devices, from antiquity to futurity. https://rarible.com In this issue, I have aimed to add previews of the poems in the list. As the embeds for Objkt don't work as hoped, I have used Rarible as source for the previews of Tezos-minted poems. Unfortunately that did not work for all the poems listed. I will keep looking for better ways. ### On to the poetry Melancholic Odyssey by Leon Faesulis on Tezos [Experience and collect here](https://objkt.com/asset/KT1Wj3xDL7KpbwabRtwwz1bJxHQVajqvbkFn/20) [**Melancholic Odyssey** This book is my genesis. https://rarible.com](https://rarible.com/token/tezos/KT1Wj3xDL7KpbwabRtwwz1bJxHQVajqvbkFn:20) Within by Ashwini Dodani & Sueartens on Ethereum [Experience and collect here](https://foundation.app/collection/sue-b1a0?ref=0xB31Faa5c1D581C70F4b6ed095c944936cBd2a357) [**Within | Foundation** Don't tell me what I can do or what I cannot for I am made of more than flowers I am a branch today, I can be a leaf tomorrow, At midnight I bloom like a flower, In the mornings I might hide in plain sight... https://foundation.app Reading ONE: i am the invisible poet by Linda Laforge on Tezos [Experience and collect here](https://objkt.com/asset/KT1MWsyCvVFHj2HE1J5yaqaU46w672sSCLFw/0) [**Reading ONE: i am the invisible poet** Where I read recent work for you. https://rarible.com they fell by Gomp_art on Tezos [Experiment and collect here](https://objkt.com/asset/KT1E5Vxh9qABh4h4Cbxj2R37YKW2RfgqFC6n/5) [**they fell** artist: gomp_art year taken & written: 2023 location: new england, usa ⓒ gomp_art 2023 License: This license is for personal use only.
