The Onchain Poetry Digest 18
In the weeks that suddenly crypto is rising again, we again found a wonderful collection of onchain poems. Still mostly on Tezos, but on other chains as well. Personally, I've been experimenting with Zora. I love how they created a protocol reward scheme by wich you can earn from 'free' mints. Every mint on Zora costs a small mint fee. Part of that goes to the platform, but a big part is reserved for the creator. They also have first minter rewards going to the person who is the first to mint, and referrer fees for people sharing the art with their friends (and the art being minted from that sharing). I encourage you to explore this L2 blockchain for minting. All you need is an ethereum-compatible wallet.
Also worth noticing, the wonderful upcoming collection of Ana Maria Caballere: Paperwork. I don't think the minting has started yet, but the project is amazing. It shows one way how poetry can connect to your life, and how you can take insights from it, that do not have to be the same as the poet's. I call that the tripple effect: the poet, the poem and the reader together create unique meaning. Anyway, check out the beautiful collection Paperwork and Ana's Twitter thread on the back story.

[A Distinct Meld - Simplicity \
The triad of pieces for this series began with the text versions being rather "simple" hence the simplicity name. However, I started to use these to mess around with font colors, styles, and sizing. This one feels both a little simpler than some recent ones, while a little less simple in other ways.\

The background for this piece was created using AI and typing in the poem title. Then I use the color change tool in Photoshop to add some flavor to it. My birthstone is emerald and My Love's is amethyst. I love these two colors and feel they're a perfect match.\
