What Does "The Internet of Things" Mean to You?

The Internet of Things

by Rachel Hoyt

It's open to anyone and anything -

A network of both nothing and everything,

A world where both bad and good sink or sprout wings,

A place where our wants and needs gallop and sing,

A sacred dreamscape of imaginable things.

This poem was inspired by two growing trends:

buying traffic and shifting blame for using ads to meet ends.

 

Your Choices and Actions Affect the Whole World

Lifelong Exam

by Rachel Hoyt

One vote,

One voice,

One life to live.

One heart,

Two hands,

To get and give.

Your way,

Their way,

Whose is best?

Could we,

Can we,

Ace this test?

This poem was inspired by a variety of news

which reminds me we should be careful what we choose:

"Speak American". What About Speaking Something Else Too?

Obama Calls Out How Climate Change Will Wreck the Economy

The Real Meaning of Kim Davis

For assistance determining which presidential candidate you like best,

The Tendency Towards Risk-Taking Is In Our DNA

Migratory Syndrome

I would bet,

could bet,

every day.

I won't keep,

can't keep,

dreams at bay.

I bet steep

to reap -

make life pay. 

I won't fret.

It's set.

I must play.

I learned about "American DNA" when I read Cowboys Full

and believe risk taking is an important tool.

I play poker for many reasons beyond feeling cool.

I recently launched RachelHoyt.com to share my poker stories

and published this list of historic tales which deserved further glory.
