I was going to post a third Wordle poem but it turned into something, and then it became a serious piece I could submit to a particular place. Thus, there is no poem today, at least not here, but it may appear somewhere else. Or not.

Anyway, this list below are recent topics I have read about for potential creative works, or for spirally Internet rabbit hole reasons, or because I listened to a podcast:

• The play Agamemnon by Aeschylus.
• The history of Peppercorn trees in Australia.
• Samsara.
• Pirates.
• Scold’s bridle.
• The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
• The Massacre of the Innocents – the art work, gospel story, the historians take on the story.
• Herod.
• Hrotsvitha of Gandersheim.
• Mt Lebanon during the First World War.
• Budj Bim – oldest continuously and thus sustainably farmed fishing site in the world.
• Battle of Brisbane, 1942 – a fight between US soldiers and Australian soldiers and civilians.
• Nawarla Gabarnmung – first permanent stone dwelling, and site of the oldest stone axe of its type ever found, at 35,000 years old.
