Thank you. There's something about an empty shell, I think it must primordial 🙏🙏

Why and when did difference
Become a bloody murderous crime
In a species built upon different?
The bounty of new, original, different
Is forgotten in mass murder
Do you not weep for yourself
When no one is like you?
Sorrow must become a blessing
So it stops

A small speckled #shell
Half buried in the grass
Mystery of life or death
I walk on

Amazing piece of opalised wood from the Eromanga opal fields. Check the growth rings, there have obviously been good years and bad years.

Shall I tighten up the 1st 3rd of my manuscript or rewrite the next 3rd. Indecision gollumps aimlessly in flopping fits and starts, #magnanimous in choice, mean in resources. How Friday depletes me and the weekend entices. I shall sit and cry.

Bitter is the sipping cup
Love tainted from the first
Half empty half full
Never enough
You were the cataract
Obscuring joy when it did
Come in
Happy the person who changes that drink

I’m hanging upside down
From the dusty beams
In the mind of my head
Come & find me only if
You dare to climb the stairs
Without any steps
& not afraid of the dark
Don’t be #timid be brave
I’m just a 5ft 1 lady creature
Some might say from Venus
But I reckon Mars
I was never #timid, just afraid of my strength and so weary of the ignorance stating you can't be you undercutting and short cutting all I did. Aghast, the feet shuffle and try again to chain and defy reality. I walk towards me.

The last thing anyone could call Dylan was #timid, and he made certain everyone in Fleet Headquarters knew it. He was justifiably angry, and if they booted him from the fleet, so be it, but they needed to hear how bad their pussyfooting had made things.
There would be a reckoning either way.
#vss365
Give the deck another shuffle so the void and death are hid within. Play the cards so the sun comes out and laughter reveals itself like a light between the deep clouds and births reassurance. The struggle is too dark else. Are you there beloved? I can hope no further than this.

Beneath the rainbowed waterfall
I saw a tail - just for a moment
For half a second my heart stopped hating
Under the canopy trail of blue
I saw a wing blot the paled out moon
Within the crepsular fog I saw him loom
He ate my cold heart and gave me a red red bud
Waiting to bloom
Thank you. 💔❤️🩹❤️
Scaly pangolin amongst leaves
Hurrah - it’s World Pangolin Day!

Thanks @jenthorne.bsky.social for the push.
I have a Menagerie of fantasy creatures ready to turn into verse. I just needed the confidence to start.

If the spirits were #bouncy, they'd not be leaping high. On the waters falling drenching lapping high.

The mirror told her things because it was supposed to. It was miniscule and enchanted yet it's enchantment was to tell lies. What she didn't know, was the first lie. That was where she'd find the murderer. Hours of questioning lay before her and it's tiny size made it like picking on a child

How long will we stay(?) Isn't really a good question when the clock has all the answers & a unique stand. If we're happy & brave we could change the rules. Stay within the dream & forget demands. The clock ticks impersonal. We know we don't believe in Adam & Eve yet We could do it

As the prompt doesn’t drop until later, and the latest chapter is posted …

The bloom is gone
The berries fallen
The hungry months
Verge the roadside
Opening the door to cold
Winds wind up the storming raindrops
Birdfeeders empty fast
I wither under the clouds
Blocking the longer days
Yet I know
The sun peeks
Hope seeds break the shells
Root
