Today, in the Lounge, I asked a question
Is your brain more awake in the morning, or late at night—why do you think that is?

No right answers
Just people showing up with their own rhythms, memories, and quiet self-awareness

This is what connection looks like to us ☕️🌿

Our love wasn't about
grand gestures

it was all that
day-to-day stuff
that seemed so small
at the time

it was you shouting
"there's my girl"
when I walked in the door
& I'd flash a wry grin
as you swung me 'round
the kitchen

I still hear those words
every time I open
the damned door.

I am beyond happy to say I've won the 2025 New2theScene Poetry Competition.

I am gobsmacked.

I wouldn't have had the confidence to even think about entering my work into a competition if it hadn't been for the encouragement people have shown me on here. Thank you everyone.

An orange redish bird
Set upon reddish orange berries.
That's quite the sight you're painting Matthias.
Very striking against the brown and deep greens of the rowan

There are some people
I let roam my mind rent free
maybe it's their inspiring presence
I told myself I'd start charging my tenants
but they seem so happy with their
pretty little fly trap gardens
who am I to ruin fun?

I'll be back doing a weekly form prompt again in a week, when I can try to have more time to write than this Festive Week.

Huge hugs to you all.
