Three Friends, Two Dogs And One Futon... Make One Lovely Photo Series
The result is this absolutely lovely set of photos: three friends and two dogs sitting on their futon sofa in front of lakes and mountains, in fields and forests, on beaches and railways and more:
Thezim0090 later wrote that the girl in the photos "explained to me that they had the idea to use the 'imperfection' of the portraits to reflect the imperfections that the three of them saw in humanity when compared to nature."
"All the credit goes to my friends who actually took this trip," s/he added. "I just dug it so much that I wanted others to see how cool they were!" And we're glad you did, thezim0090.

National Poetry Day: Twitter's Funniest Reactions And Rhymes
Today is National Poetry Day, and the funny tweeters have been out in force. Because as @TechnicallyRon pointed out, Twitter is the perfect medium for poetry:
Just remember
That you can make
Anything look like a poem
If you keep pressing return
In a sentence
#NationalPoetryDay
— TechnicallyRon (@TechnicallyRon) October 2, 2014 There were poems about animals:
"My one regret"
The hedgehog said,
"Is purchasing
this water bed".
#NationalPoetryDay
— T'Other Simon (@TOther_Simon) October 2, 2014
Went for a walk
Saw a hawk
Squeezed its nork
Made it squawk
Saw a crow
Flying low
Where did it go?
I don't know
#NationalPoetryDay
— Trouteyes (@trouteyes) October 2, 2014 Variations on a classic:
Roses are red.
Violets are red.
Everything's red.
Oh my God! There's so much blood!
#NationalPoetryDay

Roses are red / Foxgloves are purple / I appear to have trapped myself / In a linguistic corner #nationalpoetryday
— Dave Turner (@mrdaveturner) October 2, 2014 Poems about the everyday:
#NationalPoetryDay
My dearest paracetamol,
A mystery to me
Why sometimes you cost £1.10
But sometimes 20p
— Craig Deeley (@craiguito) October 2, 2014
Hot water, and a sponge,
With a bit of Cif on it,
Is a good way,
To clean up vomit.
#nationalpoetryday
— TittyBiscuits. (@dawneywawney) October 2, 2014 And poems about the surreal:
On #nationalpoetryday
I'd just like to say
It doesn't have to rhyme
Or scan properly
Really
Or even make much sense
I can taste toast
— Nick Pettigrew (@Nick_Pettigrew) October 2, 2014 Indeed, toast was something of a theme:
I wish I was a piece of toast,
A wholesome granary fella.
I'd flirt a bit with the Lurpak
Then I'd smother myself with Nutella.
#toast
— MmmmDowling (@MarionDowling) August 30, 2014 There were lots of poems that didn't rhyme:
Why do you lot follow me?
I'll never understand,
All my puns are terrible,
And I can't do poems.
#NationalPoetryDay
— Marty Lawrence (@TeaAndCopy) October 2, 2014
You didn’t like poetry this much yesterday.
This isn’t a poem either.
Don’t let the spacing fool you.
What?
#NationalPoetryDay
— symmetrical (@jayckb) October 2, 2014 And ones that did:
If you have a thought that isn't smart
Just make it rhyme to sound like art
#NationalPoetryDay
— Adam Hess (@adamhess1) October 2, 2014 Including a reminder of this pure pop poetry (again, featuring toast):
I don't want to see a ghost
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news
#NationalPoetryDay
— McMmns (@Danny_McMoomins) October 2, 2014 There were political poems:
In the election of 2015
I trust Cameron will have been
Soundly beaten
(like he was at Eton).
#clerihew #NationalPoetryDay
— Dan Rebellato (@DanRebellato) October 2, 2014 And puns:
On National Poetry Day, someone may come to your house to read your Metre. #NationalPoetryDay
— James Martin (@Pundamentalism) October 2, 2014 There were even tweets that appealed for us to think of others:
On this, National Poetry Day, please spare a thought for the people of Nantucket. #NationalPoetryDay
— Ross Lawson (@Ross_Lawson) October 2, 2014
On #NationalPoetryDay one suspects Jeremy Hunt is feeling a little vulnerable @HuffPostUKCom
— James Martin (@ByJamesMartin) October 2, 2014 But in the end, it wasn't always as easy as it looked:
Today is #nationalpoetryday,
Everyone tries to be a Bard.
With only 140 characters to write a verse that makes sense,
it's really bloody har
