We're still in the sea, but today it's getting a little more sinister.

The #blueskyrelay #prompt for the 14th November is #nixie / #nix

Do you dare delving into the deep?

Looking forward to your replies.

If you wanna take over as host next week, drop me a DM!

#writingcommunity #poetrycommunity
nix, in Germanic mythology, a water being, half human, half fish, that lives in a beautiful underwater palace and mingles with humans by assuming a variety of physical forms (e.g., that of a fair maiden or an old woman) or by making itself invisible. One of three attributes may betray the disguises of nixes: they are music lovers and excellent dancers, and they have the gift of prophecy. Usually malevolent, a nix can easily be propitiated with gifts. In some regions, nixes are said to abduct human children and to lure people into deep water to drown. According to some sources, nixes can marry human beings and bear human children. source: https://www.britannica.com/topic/mermaid image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixie_%28folklore%29

We're staying in the land of myth and folklore. Today's #BlueSkyRelay #prompt is #merrow.

Have fun writing, whether the seas are disturbed or calm! 🧜‍♂️🧜‍♀️

#poetrycommunity #writingconmunity
Merrow (from Irish murúch, Middle Irish murdúchann or murdúchu) is a mermaid or merman in Irish folklore. The term is anglicised from the Irish word murúch. The merrows supposedly require a magical cap (Irish: cochaillín draíochta; anglicised: cohuleen druith) in order to travel between deep water and dry land. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrow image source: https://theburrenandbeyond.com/2013/12/09/the-merrow-1888/

For #Stunday I decided on a quadryptich — autumn's offerings I've found along the way.

Another challenge posed by @daveashleypoet.bsky.social
This week we're writing
#RhymeRoyal (rime royale)
This one took me a bit of rewriting because I initially butchered the rhyme scheme.

For a first attempt at the form it seems to have turned out decently.

I longed to create something soothing. Enjoy your weekend, everybody.

The evening sky is tinted in hues of orange and pink. Clouds are floating along, seemingly glowing like molten gold. A murder of crows is circling a fallow field, melodious cawing merges with the distant sound of cars on the freeway. A hill lush with red and yellow trees thrones over the town. gaze keeps wandering abundant plains, vast freedom eyes feast on colour Matthias Geh View from a hill overlooking a city, the sun is low in the sky

bonfires of gas bills

feeding off lost faith

A firm ground not yet frozen. Soles are gripping re-hardened mud, the air is crisp and clear. The quiet of a holiday morning on the meadow is punctuated by the swelling and then fading roar of a passing train. Solitary puddles remain from a week filled with fall showers. rime on mugwort leaves melilot still holds blossoms autumn colours burst Matthias Geh Mugwort leaves covered in rime Closeup of yellow melilot blossoms A path along a meadow at early morning in autumn.

For this week's #poemsabout I went a different route, taking
the theme #blood as a mere guideline trying to offer some perspective from beyond the veil.

Neither bird nor plane — just a single red leaf circling to the ground. Unbothered, untethered it's hovering, caught on fall storms. A solitary proof of seasonal beauty, taking time to reach the ground, blasted higher once more by a strong gust of wind. Children's gaze follows it, delight behind green eyes. life cycle's relic coloured like today's sunrise sycamore leaf floats

Movement unseen as mycelium connects under muddy soil. Dog walkers traversing barren meadow while tumultuous clouds create a dramatic backdrop. Within an hour a smattering of raindrops is drenching still wet grounds, shallow brownish pools — water holes for countless crows. acorns on concrete shiny seed spill disappears cracks hold sylvan fate Midden ink cap growing out of a lush meadow. Blades of grass are covered with raindrops, some dead leaves scattered on the ground.

The night doesn't seem to end. Grey clouds battlling even greyer skies for attention. Glazed eyes looking out of dirty windows. Cats hide on window sills.
