I first published these poems on DeviantArt, but I decided to put them all in one place and write this ebook. Thus, this 72-page ebook is a collection of my work from the past five years. I divided the ebook into two parts: Free Verse Poetry and Haiku. I started writing these poems as a 100-poems challenge, which I started in 2011, and so I used my poetry’s beginnings as inspiration for the title: “One Hundred and More“.
This ebook is for any romance or free verse poetry lover who is looking to find his/her own experience in someone else’s poetry. Also, if you like Japanese poetry, I encourage you to take a look at the second part of the ebook, and maybe try writing haiku poems yourself.
GeoCities is closing Oct 26th so I put a few of the poems that were sent to me years ago onto powerpoint for your viewing pleausre.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Maple poems
1. The Light of the Night
I stalk your villages with my unstoppable power,
For I am the dreaded invisible cloud of energy.
You cannot stop me with your pathetic metallic rods,
For I am the demonic high-voltage maniacal menace.
I crackle in the dark gloomy sky,
Striking the ground with cannoning blasts of electricity.
I rain hellish blasts of pure destruction,
Laying waste to your civilized cities.
I am the dealer of damage, death and destruction,
I am the deadly dictator of destruction sending beams of
pure energy,
Destroying everything in sight.
By Alex

5. I am Blizzard
I am your demon,
You can stand tall against me,
I may not scare you,
But you’ll never beat me.
I may not make you shiver,
I may not make you cry,
But remember I am the demon,
And one day I will make you pay.
Although you think I’m harmless, I can kill you like a snake,
I’ll always be here trying to take your chance away,
But now you stand before me,
I might just let you have your day.
By Bethan

7. Hurricane
I am like a wrecking ball.
I am a building crusher.
Like a Audi R8 I come like a flash.
And I leave with great courage.
My roar is like a pride of lions.
I don’t meander like a river.
I thrust through things.
I course my victims of track.
I’m your worst night mare.
I am the hurricane
By Callum
8. I am Ice
I am the one who swallows your feet,
Although you step on me,
I am still as sharp as shark’s teeth.
I m the street’s devil who holds people’s deaths,
I’m the earth’s enemy the ones that came before you.
You will try to get rid of me but I will always come back,
The ones that came before me will never return.
By Cara
9.
10. I am Hail
I slap hard cold ground and I hit the rooftops.
You try to defeat me with your umbrellas,
But you fail.
When you hide I will find you where ever you are! Ill
freeze your faces. I’m like hard ice on your face.
By Darnell
11.
12. I am lightning!
I am your demon, your terrible fate.
You may try to fight me, but you will not
win.
I will strike you down with one flash.
Although you might try to beat me with
your shelters, I will get you.
You can run but you can not hide.
There is no escape.
I am not your friend; I am your enemy,
your foe.
I will hit you down like a bullet with one
mighty blast.
I zap your throat carelessly, and then I will
search for my next victim.
I am the one that causes deaths and
tragedies.
With one clap you will be at your death
point.
I am the one who will ambush your safety.
I will search the skies for my pray.
A trail of death follows me with every move
I make.
I am your worst nightmare.
I am lightning.
By Ella
13.
14. A flash of light,
Scaring people out of their skin,
Erupting icy water,
And crying out my anger.
My black clouds,
Drowning sunlight,
Turning the air to black.
Throwing bombs,
Down they go,
Blowing on civilian’s heads.
Umbrellas,
My worst enemy,
Stopping and Stabbing my weopons,
Knocking them to the ground,
Destroyed.
At dark I keep my rain bullets,
In my night fortress.
I watch over you,
With my bloodshot eyes,
I don't know when,
But I will plan my revemge.
I am lightning.
By Jonathan
15. We fight each other
But together we are the devil,
The master, the unstoppable demon.
We create the terror
On your pathetic faces,
And destroy everything in our path.
We smash against the cold air,
Trying to reach and assassinate you,
nothing
You have nothing that will harm us.
You may think we’re stupid,
But we will hunt you down,
Find you,
And abolish you and your weapons
You can try,
But soon we will destroy you and your land
Flashes of light roar of a lion,
We are thunder,
We are lightning.
By Katie
16. Thunder and Lightning
I am the lightning the fiend you dread the most,
My thunder claps as resounding as a blasting
cannon,
I shatter anything in my way,
You’re useless nothing can stop me.
No matter how far you bolt,
my bright yellow flashes can catch up with you,
No one can conquer me,
I destroy humanity.
You will shudder,
You will weep,
Remember I am the thunder and lightning,
I have come for my revenge.
By Laura
17.
18. The Devastator
You may ‘TRY’ to get away,
But you’ll survive,
I’ll show you no fear.
Devouring everything in my path,
I pick you up with the hand of destruction!
Disposing parts of the village,
I will summon armies of wind,
You can not run away.
Where you shall go is where I shall go,
Where you fight is where you fail.
I will demolish your territory,
You’ll never get away,
Your dreams are gone,
Your life is done.
I’m your tornado,
Welcome to my world.
By Louis
19.
20. I am the Devil’s helper,
Running his fiendish errands.
Causing havoc and hassle,
To your pathetic kind.
I coat your towns and villages,
Obscuring them from view.
I disorientate hikers and walkers,
Devouring them in the night.
My breath spreads,
Over your streets and houses,
Clogging up your
Window panes.
I strike at dawn and dusk,
Spreading my wrath over your pitiful world.
Your feeble lights are no match,
For my astonishing powers.
They flicker and fade in the dark of night,
Into nothing.
I came from a place you can’t understand,
My held high and proud.
I will not give up,
You’ll never see the last of me.
I am the nightmare
For drivers, the one they fear the most.
You do not fear me as much,
As my menacing friends.
But I will strike,
You will know,
Everyone will,
You’d better be ready.
By Lucas
21. I am the snow
I throw snow all over the
mountains.
I make black ice icicles.
I am a conundrum.
I am watching you all the
time,
You can run but you can not
hide.
You’re wearing a coat to try to
defeat me,
But nothing will.
I hit the ground like a tornado.
NO one has seen me.
By Mason
22.
23. THUNDER & LIGHTNING
I am the foe of many
The devil incarnate
You may try to repel me
With you puny rubber
But nothing, nothing can stand in my way
My armada of bolts will devour every thing
in their wake
Nowhere is safe!
When you spot pitch black clouds
Forming on the horizon
You know what’s coming
The clap that comes next
Is as loud as a thousand cannons.
When you see me
You want to hide
But you can never escape me
I am Thunder and Lightning
By Ollie
24.
25. Towns I devour spewing out what is left.
Inevitable death lurks at my feet.
The colour of your skin drains at my glory.
I am here in plain sight but you may never fathom
my wrath.
A saviour, a shelter you search for.
I hang unpleasantly in your dreams destroying your
ordered land.
My wind spins faster than you pathetic creatures can
understand.
You ‘try’ to stop me.
You fail.
I will stalk you out,
Where you go I go,
Where you hide I shall find.
Watch out for I have come!
By Pav
26. I Am Lightning
I make the trees crash onto your house,
am rains’
I am rains’ big brother.
I lure you in to take a glance,
Then strike your window panes down.
None of your feeble weapons can stop me,
me,
You can’t stop me,
You don’t destroy me, I whisper into your ear to
to
destroy you.
I shake the earth as I touch down on it.
I may look pretty in the sky, lightening it up,
But you don’t want to meet me
We will dispute
I will make all your dreams feel hopeless,
failYou will always failI will always win.
By Reuben
27. /’~}
I am the devils favourite demon,
I throw my armies down to earth.
You try to stop me but I am better.
Silently, the drops fall onto your upturned
face.
My wind is as loud as a human heart beat.
I come like a bullet,
and flood all the rivers.
I am your worst nightmare.
When you hide I find where you hide,
I am thunder.
By Sam
28.
29. THUNDER
I AM THE ONE WHO SHAKES THE EARTH IN DEEP RAGE.
I AM THE ONE WHO DESTROYS HUMANITY, CAUSING
FEAR AND DEATH.
MY CLAP IS AS LOUD AS THE BLAST OF A FURIOUS
CANNON.
I PURGE THE SKIES WITH PURE DARKNESS AND FEAR!
I AM THE ONE MENACE THAT CANNOT BE STOPPED.
I HURL AROUND THE PATHETIC SHELTERS, IN WHICH YOU
BUILT TO PROTECT YOURSELF.
YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN AND HIDE, BUT AS YOU ALL
KNOW…
I’M EVERYWHERE!
I RIDDLE WITH YOUR HEAD, WAITING FOR THE TIME TO
STRIKE.
MY TREMENDOUS, CRITICAL BLOW IS LIKE A BEAM OF
ONE THOUSAND VOLTS OF ELECTRICITY RACING
THROUGH YOUR HEART BEAT.
THOSE WHO HAVE STOOD BRAVELY BEFORE ME WERE
VANQUISHED WITHOUT MERCY.
BUT ONE DAY, YOUR TIME WILL COME!
by Louie.
30. HAIL
I’M ICY RAIN , I SMASH THE SOLID
GROUND LIKE A MISSILE
YOU’LL FIND ME IN THE SNOW,
I’L DEMOLISH EVERYTHING
BELOW.
I’L SHOW NO MERCY WHEN I
FALL ,
DON’T EVEN THINK OF
STANDING TALL .
IF YOU TRY YOU WILL FAIL,
BECAUSE I AM THE SHARP WHITE
HAIL.
