GloPoWriMo Day Twenty

 Cheese

I don't like it when your sister

Wrinkles her nose and

Looks at me like that


I don't like it when you all

Compare my smell to those

Of your used shoes.


Why, oh, why!


I am a victim of your refined noses

Even though for you I've been pausteurized


And still then, picky humans, you want me.

What a toxic relationship.


Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that anthropomorphizes a kind of food.

Facundo Pastor, periodista: «en este oficio todos buscamos contar buenas historias»

Image
Pastor  durante la charla en la Universidad Nacional de La Matanza. El periodista Facundo Pastor reveló que hace cinco años tuvo un problema en las cuerdas vocales y que, por eso, su nuevo libro «Isabel» es «sobre el silencio», en el ma rco de una charla por el mes del periodismo, en la Universidad Nacional de La Matanza. «Me pasaba que sentía que Isabel Perón tenía muchas cosas para contar – explicó -, y fui un poco tras ese camino: el silencio de ella, el silencio en que entraba el país el 24 de marzo de 1976, y tal vez algunos silencios míos». Tras provocar risas en su público al contar que fue «abordado por las chicas de medios», quienes querían hacer un «ping pong», el abogado se sinceró: «Me sentiría incómodo diciendo que está muy bueno lo de las redes». «Sería muy necio de mi parte desestimar este medio de comunicación», admitió el conductor, y consideró que «está bueno, es un atajo”, pero aconsejó a los periodistas «buscar otros caminos». El escritor se manifestó también so...

Brand analysis: Ferrari and Mclaren (a review)

Image
     Below Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsport and Red Bull Racing Honda, the Formula 1 Constructors' Championship third and fourth place are disputed by Ferrari and Mclaren, two teams with brands very different from each other. In this review, we shall briefly compare the two of them on three different aspects: colours and design, community management and overall image on motorsport. COLOURS AND DESIGN      Ferrari colours have always been red, yellow and white. For instance, in the current season, cars are primarily red, with details such as drivers' numbers in white. The latter colour is also used for framing the images posted on social media, something distinctive to the team. Also, in case these images include a picture of the drivers, they usually are formally standing on their race suits.     On the other hand, Mclaren colours currently are orange and blue. Curiously, these colours are commonly associated with freshness, honesty and youth, blu...

Tell-Tell's 5 days to better poetry - DAY 4

Heyy! Welcome to day 4 -- we're almost done! DAY 4 ~~~ I IMAGINE YOU... Right now...: Today, we start writing. Immediately. So... What do I see?      I see my computer. I see the letters coming up in the screen, against the white background, as I press down each key.       I see my desk. I see the charger on it, next to my planner with a pen on top. It's rather neat today -- I decided to keep it clean, with just what I'll use in the moment.      I see the windows. This room is distinguished from the air outside by glass, so I see everything from my apartment.  What do I hear?      I hear the TV from the next room. There is also a buzzing from outside, maybe cars or trucks -- the usual city sounds. My mother is now walking lazily, sliding her feet instead of actually moving them up, forwards and down. I hear plastic bags and tape. What the heck is she doing? Now she's writing something down. What do I feel?  ...
