Can You Dig It? – 2nd May 2026

~ shaun tenzenmen

Indigenous seeds refuse the plough
The dignity of labour takes a while
He digs a well from there to now
She digests history with a patient smile

A digitised map of looted art
She digs a moat of metaphor and stone
From indigent weeds, kingdoms start
Indignant empires overthrown

Written for dVerse Quadrille #246 – dig

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Be The Person You Want To Be

First, you must take the time to think
About what’s most important to you
Then take action and do the work
To guide yourself to what’s true

  8. How cleverly you say it, Shaun, with rhyme and reason too! 🙂 Small starts whether in writing, planting or civilizational beginnings, lead to growth one way or another.

  9. You really dug deep with this one, Shaun ! Everyone above have mentioned what I wanted to say.

    But I want to add that I am delighted and impressed you used so many forms of ‘dig’. I totally dig that! 😄👍🏼
