Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words.

MeFi seeks a Poet Laureate to create comments that are aureate

To sing praise of worldly beans or the danger of capitalist blue jeans

Alas, I can't write poetry so just pretend that you don't know me

and come on inside this MetaTalk post

"He who would search for pearls must dive below"

From ftrtts, 12 Word Searches. A book of 12 small puzzles that get trickier as you progress. For 1 or more solvers: as foxtongue describes in the comments, "puzzles in puzzles in puzzles." Just something cool that we didn't manage to point out amid the holiday bustle (and thread archived here now, sorry!), but Mefi puzzle lovers should take note of the seductive Itch.io tags: "Difficult," "secrets," "Text based," "Trivia," "Word game," "word-search." Maybe just the thing for a little decompression during these puzzling times.
