Everything was silent
And still as the light
Played across
The forest floor
An impressive feat
For a hundred plus
Fairies and myself
When it began to #wane
And shadows
Settled into the dark spaces
I resisted the urge
To cheer
And wake it up again
Watching Oppenheimer
...finally.

Now...where to submit horror stories with forest fairies...and/or witches???

18.5" of snow between Sunday night and Tuesday morning. And a beautiful sunny day today. #Maine

Writers raise your hand for the number of times you've been offered a Mediterranean cruise as part of your book tour promoting your debut novel...

...how about all of you who can afford to hire a full time assistant

...or maybe just those that can quit their day job...

That a #Telephone
Could be a weapon

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to harden up.

Pay attention to what steadies you — a quiet moment, a voice, a song — and keep those things close. They ain’t escapes; they’re anchors.

Rest in peace, go in power, Alex Pretti.

We will carry on the fight.

Pet peeve-

TV mysteries with a writer at the center of attention...like nothing that is portrayed has anything to do with reality. Nothing. Sheesh. 🤣🙄

"I was born in the snow," Basil said. "My Dam was raiding when a storm hit. She had no choice but to find an old flower pot and pop me out. Gave me character."

This intimate revelation from a forest fairie seemed odd. We were hunkered down in the snow, but prepared to meet a monster.

The forest fairies leader
Released the rope
From my left hand
And set to work
On my right
When a hush rose
All hundred plus fairies
Grew #quiet
Staring into
The dark underbelly
Of the spruce and pine
And then I saw it
That #glow
Pulsing low
To the ground
And heard
The familiar hum

11" of snow and its still coming down. The dogs have made corridors through it. ❄️🥶

BS being a bit weird...finding comments on my posts that look like they're from me, but aren't. No idea,where they came from. And posts on other people's stuff that aren't from me either... um... new password time maybe? 🤷

As a poet, I’ve lived my whole life
on the #cusp between quitting and
the next verse.

I dangled a word
Over the edge
A thought
On the #cusp
Teasing you
Like bait
For the monster
Under the bed
Thoughts exposed
I suggested
Perhaps I sussed you
Wrapped my arms
Around the exhale
Stories change
With each telling
Maybe ours
Has as well

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm

They tasted pepper spray
My writing feels too shallow
To make a difference

They were just
A series of poems
A love story
About you and me
But anonymous
I know you
Never want
Our relationship
Paraded for the world
They were never
Meant to be a #ruse
Never meant
To deceive
Rather as
A love letter
From me
To you

🤣🤣🤣🥶❄️ 18 to 24" of snow in one storm... um...

Woke up
A bit #gloomy
Wondering
What the day
Might hold
Quite panicked
Really
About the snow
And the thought
Of driving
I settled
Into your book
After a while
Let your story
#slip into my skull
And find
A niche
Like holding you
For a moment
Or two

Crawled in bed and opened my phone to read. Noticed a message from my neighbor so I texted him back. THEN I realized it was almost 11 PM. 😬😎 oops...

Snow-pocalypse may or may not be headed our way. Sure is putting the damper on me earning money... but...I may have a new private client only 7 miles down the road. It's like a dream so I don't want to jinx it. Fingers 🤞

We took a walk
Around the #bay
Wet sand
Clinging to our boots
Soaked through
With #drizzle
We found crinoid stems
Belemnites by the handful
And one
Almost perfect
Ammonite
Then you kissed me
To say #thanks
For an almost
Perfect day
Then I kissed you
Because...well...
