A young gal who was showing some thigh
Caught the eye of a very cute guy.
But alas he lacked nerve;
Failed to speak up with #verve.
He could NOT even muster a "Hi."

My #handbag is always too small
Cuz I suffer from portable sprawl.
Seems I “need” so much junk,
Nothing short of a trunk
Could manage to handle my haul.

Happy #NationalHandbagDay!

Complete story in ALT

From the Darkness

I had fled the noise and laughter for the quiet where flowers and weeds held their lonely vigil.

Beneath the great oak's funeral shade, a Black-eyed Susan stood, strong stemmed, her petals ghostly faded, her crown a wound of dark moss.

From the shadows, a moth rose like death and descended upon her.

It uncoiled its needle of hunger and drove it into Susie's black moist heart.

When the wind mourned through, she shuddered, collapsing deeper into the oak's embrace as the moth supped the last of her amber wine.

it flew some distance
where I found the flying leaf
the message on it
said something half-remembered:
“Wisdom drops quick as Wi-Fi.”

Whispered winds bear sorrow.

Shadows hum the lost one’s name.

Twilight weeps in soft tones.

Nightfall drapes the world in grief.

Moonlight sings a mournful hymn.

Hello
Oh Hell
Where did I go-
wrong
How the Hell
did I get-
here
Two-ways in
but
no way
out
...
Yes, I'm lost
...
Back the way
I came
are you mad!?

Madi; fighting myself to stay alive 🇵🇸 @madi-faith.bsky.social · 1d

; knell tolls once each night; solelm

warning of imminent death.

i fall asleep; hope that it

is a fortelling of my

own impending fate; dream of

escaping this torturous

existence - trapped in limbo;
