the skies guess why
A page of the 1819 “Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 5” redacted into a poem about the ongoing U.S. government shutdown (which impacts NASA).

I love-love blackout poetry, and this was wonderfully, thoughtfully done.
That’s fantastic how you did that, maybe I’m ignorant but I’ve not seen that before. Great piece.
This is a great poem.. I’m happy I got to read it!

Love it!
What a great poetry challenge! Let’s all try that!
Finding a poem within the government chaos is a paradox worth noting.
Well done.
Great irony! I doubt the skies consider the government shutdown a loss.
Very cool! I’ve never come across this way of writing poetry before but I look forward to giving it a go myself – thanks for sharing, and congrats on the freshly pressed!
Great stuff
Nice
