I used to #quiver
Your attention to my world
Meant more than it should

#2wordprompt

Patient detect

I lack the ability
To #detect
Unspoken
Communication
But instead
Of others
Acknowledging
And trying
To help
I am the one
Who must be
#patient and calm
Would you ask
A blind man
To read
Your book
Or a woman
Wout legs
To run
Your marathon?
Then why
Expect it
From me?

The dark underbelly of this place has been showing off lately... doing a lot of blocking.

Also, my phone is obsessed with memories from 6 yrs ago. There isn't much about that time I want to remember so shut up ...

Thank you. You may continue scrolling now. Have a beautiful day 🌞

Hello Word Weavers!

Your #vss365 #prompt for Jan 28 is #quiver.

Song: Deconstruction - Indigo Girls
Lyrics:
“And as for the truth it seems like we just pick a theory
It’s the one that justifies
Our daily lives
And backs us with #quiver and arrows”

Between the Ghost Orchid and Kawasaki Cosmos was the Black Lace Rose under a bell jar. A wispy female figure that could spread like ink across the glass. Using a thin sword he played platinum strings of a violin. She #quivered and spun wildly on Witch's Hair.

How you used
To make me shiver
Promise made
But n’er delivered

Whispered things
That made me #quiver
Til I begged
For just a sliver

Proffered love
You n’er considered
‘Fore you sold me
Down the river

My mama warned
Of Jezebels
But never heard
O’er wedding bells

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...

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.

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

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.

#vss365

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
