Pomes, Pomes, Pomes!

did you mean... poem?For all the weird-ass searches that lead people to briefly look at the endless bytes of useless information here (“asshole jam“? “extinct dog breads“? “tied up aardvark“? “death trajectory“? “nucular powered ufo“? What’s wrong with people? If anyone can shed light on these pressing issues, please contact me.), the one that gets me is the search for pomes something or something pomes.

Magritte, "The Son of Man" (closeup)A pome is a fleshy fruit, like an apple. A poem is a work of poetry. There’s a reason I spell it pomes: Jack Kerouac did it. It’s just an unpretentious way of being pretentious (or a pretentious way of being unpretentious). It’s redundantly poetic. It’s word jazz.

Now, if you’re actually looking for a fruit, then we’re cool. We’re more than cool. I respect you, because you actually know what a pome is.

But if you’re spelling the word poem wrong for no other reason than you’re an idiot, you’re an idiot. Just take a gander at the image above. See that? Of course! You had to see that. Google asks you if you really meant what you typed in. You may report to the gas chamber now pls k thx.

jae lethe (he/she/they) is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, teller of tales, and gadabout. Also, something he calls a "behavioral artist." (Not sure.) She has plans. BIG plans.

Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though she's quick to point out that they're no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist.

This is her latest home on teh internets - where jae stores their swear words, when they're not hurling them at the sun in vain.
