A lantern lit ship
lost in crevice of time
forever coming home

My son wants to be a voice actor. He has a degree in theater. Is there a good site that you can try out for gigs or do you need an agent?

Crunch of footfall on leaves
deer springs from fence to trees
forever fleeing

A vivid dream walks
lady in lace disintegrates

It’s the apathy that gets me
wrapped in a flag of uncaring
I don’t fear the enemy
I fear the undaring

Silken threads lash my face
fallen fruit staining concrete

Geese go fly at night
spare their wings flapping fright
of eagles on the prowl

Me too! We have a barred owl who is here all the time and occasionally a great horned owl. I haven’t heard a screech yet. I bet they’re interesting.

A barred owl calls
from above our forest shed
ghosts prowl awaken dead

I left my soul to wither

Frost on the wood stove
chill morning hits fingers, toes
breath lost in a cloud

where fresh and salt collide
estuary at high tide

Tired of the whining. Parsons got everything he asked for and he screwed the Cowboys defensive prospects for the near future. Take the win and move on.

Gerry White @gerdub.bsky.social · 14d

I’ve always had that narrative. The Cowboys couldn’t afford Parsons and instead got two draft picks on rookie contracts. Great for the team’s cap management.

We share laughter till
morning breaks our cups fill
