Kerfuffle became
A hullabaloo, turned to
Uproar overnight.

driving toward the fog
I loosen my grip
on the wheel

A colorful autumn forest scene with red, orange and yellow leaved trees and layers of fog and cloudy sky. Taken from the front window of a car driving toward low valley fog.

The Mirror’s Code

An instruction manual,
A mirror's signature,
A flawed human nature?

Quiet futility,
A mirror polished fine,
Reflecting a design.

The crisp and crinkle,
Busy chatter of dried leaves,
Tarnished gold whispers.

So adept
at our favourite games,
we forgot
we were playing

I make my move on you
at the same time
you do too—

we collide,
a cloud
of stardust.

The game
was destiny
we played it
beautifully,

almost

almost

with the mastery

of reality.

Queen of Hearts, 1909, by Margaret Macdonald, one of the defining artists of the Scottish Arts and Crafts Movement #womensart

Painted artwork of a stylised female figure, a white woman as a queen with a crown and golden robes holding a red rose and surrounded by heart motifs, organic lines and a dashed border

Morning, the empty room,
bittersweet berries,
burnt orange
in a tall green glass vase,
the calendar on the wall
next to a pastel drawing,
a winter sun so bright
made with white above
bare black branches.
Thrilled, I didn't know
such things existed.
How could I?

Darkness invites one
To the deepest of slumber
Below awkward depths

A 7th century Pictish symbol stone discovered in 1936 during excavations at the Knowe of Burrian - a broch at Netherbrough in the Orkney Isles. Now part of the collections at Orkney Museum in Kirkwall. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #Picts #Orkney

Love is a verdict.
It sentences and pardons-
Guilty, and set free.

Hands that built the world
Sets down tools and listens close-
Is it meant to hum?

So this tiger
came to tea,
and the damn thing
dined on us
instead of the
Beef Wellington!!

Shadow splits in two,
One follows, one keeps quite still-
Both teach me to move.

A sweet melody,
Life's brief dance with gravity-
We too, slowly fall.

The remains of a courtyard house at Piercebridge Roman Fort in County Durham. The fort lies at a strategic point where Dere Street crossed the River Tees. 📸 My own. #RomanFortThursday #RomanBritain #Piercebridge
