Hello Wild Walk #writers

I have failed in photographing the local greenery or wildlife of Cardiff, so here's a photo from the zoo instead...

What a pair you are.
Equally adorable verse.
I bet everyone who reads either will join me in saying
Awwwwww
(Sorry, don't want to be patronizing. But I feel so warm and fuzzy reading them, I want to give you both a hug!)

Very fun write though, I love the image of a bumble bee doing ioga!

Sorry to break your illusion... but I think if there's anything people will run from faster than a bumblebee, it's a bumblebee with special sleek, nimble, graceful speedy skills.

It might be the stripes
Or maybe my wings
I know it’s one of these things
That makes me seem so round
Maybe I’ll start with yoga
Try to lay off the ambrosia
For a day or a few
Perhaps I’ll then be graceful
Instead of such a bumble
And people will stop running away

It fits well!

As much as I want to feel sorry for you... this piece is so flipping fun! And all I can do is smile instead 😅

Would that make you
Subiyes?

I have a worrying amount of conversations where I do that (not talk about excess body parts...) and have to come back and remind myself what the heck was going on....

I'm starting to think I might be the issue....

It is good to feel sad.
(It's not good that thus happened,) but don't be sorry, to sad is human,
January 18, 2026 at 12:29 PM
A grim outlook, but also somehow with the potential to be worse.
Great piece!

his were dead eyes
as if oblivious to the battery
where rage had agency
painting in broad strokes
a #dapple of browns and #violets
and in the wake, sorrow escaped
his dry gaze and clenched fists
in #willful fury to disabuse
his fugue and bloodshed
too late, too late

dazed by violets
I slept again and dreamt
of waterfalls and racecars

Ah cats...
Nature's perfect distraction.
We should all care...
Far more than most of us do.
Great piece!

I walk in the garden at dusk
To see what the light plays at
With the #violets and the roses:

These days we aren’t getting frosts
And while that should worry me, a cat
Calls my attention- a mouse’s husk.

Absolutely beautiful writing Stefanie!
It might be hard to write about, but I can read that you have it in droves!

Heather is such a wonderful plant! It brings moorland and mountainside alive!

I can bask in the splendour of the pairing of these words with this picture. Very awe inspiring. I need to find a wood to go lie down in now
