Enjoy writing, spending time with my kids Music of the Beatles/Springsteen illuminates my cooking time. No AI, writing is my own and to its influences. Works in education and aviation on the odd occasion.

Dylan was as unstoppable as #lightning and just as dangerous as he stormed through the Fleet HQ, searching for the idiot that had made the call.

The Antilles had limped home, half his crew injured, too many dead, and he wanted to know where they had got their intel from, if they had any.

As the pent up heat rises
From the city floor
Into the night, making us
Feel vulnerable, open and warm

Together we take a walk
Not knowing we
We’re heading directly
Into the heart of a storm

Not the thunder
Or the crack of lightning
Just a strange stillness
In the heart of the storm

Apologies for the repost,

Lily was too much
In a hurry,
For the chocolate
Lighting to strike
She needed to make
Sure the church mice
Survived the invading
Rats for another night

Lily's dad was up early, already at the church hall, getting ready for another small funeral gathering.

I’ve been playing Operation Wolf and New Zealand story with my son from the TATIO collection, on the Alpha. Great little system.

β€œButter with a sprinkle of sugar or as it’s a Sunday do you want chocolate lightning for your pancakes?” Lily’s mum smiled as she passed the old small round glass pot of jam, full of secret chocolate beaded drops for Lily to strike over her two American style pancakes.

On a branch, of another tree,
Watching out for the ends of
Any brave earthing worms
I hear over the way a young fledgling singing so terrible.

Spellbound, I had to go calling;
"You are souring the worms I pull from the soil, you’re ruining My breakfast at dawn" #vss365 #spellbound

From her brambled garden
of colorless ache,
she released her heart,
its patchwork of wounds
glinting like jewelry 
shaped from the heel of Achilles.

She watched it rise
past the layers of dreams that drift from bodies while their soles arch into soil, step after step,
and while youth carelessly bargains itself to myth.

She knows not where it went,
but on quiet nights when the cicadas sing
and the sky opens to a milky rivulet of invitations,
she senses it, and it senses her.

Fay is #spellbound, literally. Toodles has bound her with a spell so strong she is stuck. Toodles thinks she’s a drugs baron and is reporting her to the Magic Council. You’ve got it all wrong, Fay says. It’s medicinal only. But Toodles just rolls her eyes #vss365

#vss365 Sally was #spellbound by a cord of enchanted twine that encircled her. It fizzed & crackled & spat colorful sparks that fell to the tiled floor, dancing like droplets of water on a hot plate around her feet. His victim bound, the wizard put away his wand & sang charms in an ancient tongue.

A #beam of light glanced off the silver cut bead outline that made the red heart & white hand pop from the black background. Essie was #spellbound, reminded of the sparks bouncing off the stones in sweat or the crystals su abuela hung from her bedroom windows. Beauty. Magic.

In the real world, people sitting #spellbound could mean they were watching an epic performance of some kind. In the game it could very well be literal.
Rory toured Esme around the gathered villagers as they sat on the green, faces in stark rapture at nothing but a carved stick before them.

'Did you see that, Pixie. The audience was #spellbound by my performance. At last my greatest wish has been fulfilled. They hung on every last note of my harp recital.'
I shake my fingers free of the pins & needles from the stupefaction charm. 'A captive audience, Gabe.'

this little ring
that watches my heart

murmurs to me
of stress
and sleep
and diet

Newly #spellbound he
Hopped thru Manhatten until
He reached the park zoo

There he met a frog
Spellbound too who asked him why
He was hopping so

He explained as he looked
At his only leg it was
All he knew to do

The frog said
Put down your other
Leg or fly

The authority of authority. That was all it took to keep some people #spellbound to what others said.

The admiral addressed the crew, amiable, personable, making the right smiles as he prepared to send them out to a likely death.

Dylan didn’t fall for any of that. He knew what they faced.

Magician ran
For President
Cuz he
Was feeling bored

He started out
On soapbox
Where he conned
A #spellbound horde

The Oligarchy
Saw in him
A useful fool
And ward

They bankrolled him
And as result
They start
The last World War

If he’d just stuck
To party tricks
We’d not
Be smoking char…

Moonstruck I am
#spellbound by your charm

Enchanted by the magic in your eyes
Your love has me wrapped in its warm arms

My heart soars like a bird in the skies
for in this love a true philosophy lies

That lifes greatest surprise is a love in disguise

New things
Found in the kitchen bin
The poor cat been soaked
In a bottle of Gin
Hidden in the cabinet
under an overflowing sink
Can’t catch a rhythm to
Spellbound the eyes and ears
Of such torrid children

β€œAs a witch, I thought you’d
Just eat them, now where’s
The cat soaked In my gin”
