I've recently discovered TikTok - I know I'm late to the game. I have obviously heard of it before, but I thought that it was only for doing dance routines.
I have found that I really like watching the spoken word TikToks and I've come across some really beautiful poems. I think that the marriage between poem and images works really well.
I then stumbled across these videos of the people who sit in Central Park with a typewriter. They ask passersby if they would like a poem written especially for them and then they just type something out on a postcard that the person can keep.
It's possibly the most rmonatic thing I can think of, and my little INFP brain adores everything about it - especially the fact that it's typed out on a typewriter.
I live on the side of a park and I want to go out and do my own poetry generation. Unfortunately I live on a pretty rough council estate so I have a feeling that most people would take a wide berth around me, thinking that I may be high on something.
Even if I can't do it for other people, I may need to purchase my own typewriter and hammer my own little word gems.
