Full House Literary published my poem above in December, 2023, and the following is a continuation on that ‘theme’:

‘Poetry and art, like quantum systems, exist in states of entanglement, uncertainty, and transformation. Meaning is not fixed but shifts with perspective, collapsing and reforming like a wave in motion.

Entangled Verses: Poetry and Art on the Quantum Edge explores this intersection—where language and image defy singular truths, where observation alters the work itself, and where creativity thrives in the unknown. This online journal is for those who embrace instability, paradox, and the infinite unfolding of meaning.’

~ Laura Kerr, Canadian Artits & Poet; editor of ‘Entagled Verses’

Over the years I have come across so much contemptuous nonsence about teaching/testing writing, and I have usually shown my anger through satirical reworkings of the original: here, toying with aspects of its silly questions on how to ‘accurately’ write complex (technically…) sentences.

It’s a model that comes from years of similarly ludicrous KS3 SATs of Writing.

I can’t remember where I found this and then found this as a poem, but I trust it speaks incomprehensively for itself…

Furthering my early engagement with Microsoft (Word) Copilot, this is the next sequence. Having produced the following TextArt as an exploration of wave function in quantum mechanics (so a mere gesture of representation, and as poetic rather than analytical…), I’ll present that TextArt and then let Copilot speak for itself:

This is the prompt (question) I asked Copilot, and its response,
