Am I just waving an old-person flag and this is a cool thing the kids are doing these days? Maybe a widely-used autocorrect facility is tripping them up? Or is this another example of language shifting in unexpected ways?

#Stand back, bewildering #Politics!
I've placed my #Fences round;
Pass on, with all your #Party tricks,
Nor tread my holy #Ground!
Stand back - I'm #Weary of your #Talk,
Your #Squabbles, and your bate:
You cannot enter in this #Walk ;
I've closed my #Garden #Gate.
- Charles Mackay, #Scottish #Poet, #Writer, and #Songwriter

#OTD Birth of Phebe Ann Holder, #NewEngland #Poet.
In addition to her religious poems, Phebe wrote about #Nature and the #Natural world.
#Gardeners delight in her poems for #Spring and #Fall.
Here’s an excerpt from A #Song of #October:
The softened #Light, the veiling haze,
The #Calm repose of #Autumn days,
Steal gently over the troubled breast,
Soothing life's #Weary cares to #Rest.
