Day 05 – the tomb shroom + maybe manna

FOG Day 1 of 2. Nothing like getting it out of the way early on. Another Case Study poem, with a slight difference to yesterday’s & probably all that conceivably will follow it. Note: I’m pretty pleased with today’s poem also which means heavy redaction.

Factoid Day 05 – TIL I learnt about potential biblical fungi

manna mania

that the bible does not 
mention mushrooms once 
says everything i need to know

yet some cheeky scholars suggest 
the small round things that appear after morning 
dew — are psilocybin mushrooms

Day 04 – the most famous mushroom? + costume-inspiration

Because it is a weekend I’m attempting a Case Study poem, focussing on one specific mushroom. You’ll recognise it as soon as you see it, even if you don’t know its name.

Note: I’m really pleased with today’s main poem which means (unfortunately for you) that it’s heavily redacted. Hopefully the three stanzas I’ve left give enough of a taste of it.

Factoid Day 4 – TIL I learnt more about festive costumes

mushroom suit

some believe this stereotypical
bright red shroom : with white dots 
beloved symbol of fairy tales
may even be the inspiration :
for one very famous : red-&-white 

costume : of a certain benevolent : 
(generosity inspired by ritual buzz?)
Claus-comma-Santa : harking back 
to his : Bacchanalian : pagan : wild 
man of the forest : Siberian shamanic roots
