This is the kind of story that makes me want to hide in a hole, rather than write for the public.

You never know what will come out of a broken crayon. #Uplift

More broken crayons, classroom activities: debbieohi.com/resources/re... #EduSky #FoundObjectArt
A broken red-orange crayon is positioned so that the two pieces form a slide for a drawn girl, who appears to be climb up out of the broken bit. At the bottom of one angled piece, a drawn boy with wind-blown hair and glasses is shown laughing with arms raised as he slides down the crayon slide. The crayon label reads “red orange.” Illustration and photo by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.

Here is a portrait photo that I took of Beethoven, our long-haired orange tabby, napping in a sun puddle. His golden fur holds light like autumn wheat, warm and soft in the morning stillness. With his face squished against the floor, whiskers reflecting, and fuzzy limbs stretched, he looks so peaceful and content. The shadowed black corner hutch on the left, and silver table on the right, create a monochrome backdrop that makes our gingerbread loaf all the more stunning and bright. This moment inspired my new 3-5-3 haiku: Love Gift of love Window purrs open In my soul

This is a macro nature photo I took of an Orienpet lily. My shallow focus spotlights the crushed velvet of its purple stigma, vertically sweeping upward from a green stroke of stem, tilting right. Soft surrounds of pollen-weighted anthers blur into the bokeh as two fuchsia petals part the background, revealing a triangle of darkness beyond. This image ignited my latest 3-5-3 haiku: Eden Purple stigma Tepals guard temple’s Orange stain

Snapdragon

Vivid glow
Drops of sky roll on
Dragon's tongue

#Macro #Photography #Haiku #俳句 #Poetry #Micropoetry #Bloomscrolling #Wolftwin
Here is a macro photo I took of our last bi-color snapdragon in the front garden. The day was beautifully grey and rainy. Though there was no chance of seeing a tropical sunset, this flower held the might of dusk's glory in its misty face. This scoop of autumn sherbert glows against green peeps of background bokeh. Bending in for a closer look with my camera, I became enchanted by the perfect spheres scattered across its pink-red-orange-yellow petals. Within each crystal ball raindrop, a small universe of color and light. Their augury? My new 3-5-3 haiku: Snapdragon Vivid glow Drops of sky roll on Dragon's tongue

The sun still feels like
summer, until the night chill
arrives, whispering…

“Fall”- like it’s easy
to let go, to fresh wind when
winter waits below.

Sitting full lotus
I still can’t float across the
surface of my thoughts-

But I can find air.
Sometimes growth is so subtle
we hardly notice.

This is all he said?! This is why ABC (in response to threats from Trump's FCC) is taking Kimmel off the air?!
Meanwhile, "many in Maga-land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk" On Monday, JD Vance, who once called Trump "America's Hitler", , hosted Kirk's podcast from the White House and blamed the left, without evidence. Said Vance: "While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left." "And by 'statistical fact', ' he means 'complete bullshit'" Kimmel corrected. In fact, the Department of Justice removed from its website a study finding that violence from far-right groups is the greatest source of domestic terror and extremist violence in the US. "Here's a question JD Vance might be able to answer: who wanted to hang the guy who was vice president before you?" Kimmel said. "Was that the liberal left? Or the toothless army who stormed the Capitol on January 6." "The president and his henchmen are doing their best to tan the flames, so they can I guess attack people on the dangerous left," Kimmel added, noting the incongruence with the right's former vision of so-called "snowflake" liberals. "Which is it?" he wondered. "Are they a bunch of sissy pickleball players because they're too scared to get hit by tennis balls? Or are they a well-organized army of commandos? Because they can't be both."
