#Honor yourself as you age
don't #walk an #uncomfortable #pace
no need to keep up
relax, #pour a cup
#obsessed with these now simple days

Once my own #enabler
to my impulsive youth
since tested my #mettle
& grown into my truth

This administration
Tests our mettle
Every day
How we withstand
Constant oppression of
People’s rights
And defend
Our Constitution
Is a miracle

Give the deck another shuffle
put the cards away
solitaire, bedskirt ruffle
#highlight of her day
life is #calm
kids long gone
no #shenanigans
#often thinks of those days
the teenager stage
tested her #mettle
she's lovin' this age
heads for the kettle

Give the deck another shuffle
trust your #mettle, ain't lost yet
the #unexpected needs protected
#stellar poker face & place your bet
You've got a pocket full of nothin'
still you can take a stand
they won't know you're bluffin'
if you don't show your hand

Under blackened #review we #realise: the corner is inwardly #stellar, with no interstellar mercy. The malignant drift was pixies’ sterling spite undoing itself. To tale and un-tale love requires #mettle: rust-proofed, crush-fed, echo-guzzling the haloed hollow…

#dreamy #mettle #grand #often #plant #shenanigans

They saw him as a dreamy wild child
Often given to grand shenanigans
He knew his own mettle, let them and smiled
Feet were planted despite appearances

The #Grand #Shenanigans tested my #Mettle, but nothing prepared me for the #Dreamy #Plant, driven by its neurochemical high to munch #often and always too much

I floated for days after, missed calls and texts aplenty when I came to, what a ride it was

This is why I walk alone.
Until that day comes when I find my person, nothing and nobody is going to slow me down.
You want to come along?
Then allow me to test your mettle.

Having seen Scotland qualify for the world Cup, it's also congratulations to Wales who soundly won yesterday. To celebrate we're taking #mettle to Carmarthenshire...

@slyboyseth.bsky.social seemed like he was having a rough go of things lately, so we collaborated on another project: Sora and Kairi swinging with a hot older couple XP also let’s pretend I posted this on Halloween #nsfw #kingdomhearts #sora #kairi #okko #letsbeheroes #wilhamena #bernard #mettle

Also guess (if you like) which character = which song: Noah + Eleanor Braverman, Craig Firenze, Elise Jeffries, Dr. Mei-Lin Quan, Dez Hunter, Kitty Kowalski, Nell Murphy, Minka Lopez, Olga Nicolaev + n/a (no one's assigned to the song but it works anyway, or 2 ppl are connected). :) #Mettle

Mettle - YouTube Songs for Mettle.

Can't recall when I last (never?) shared a playlist for a WIP. This is #mettle. From the ♪ guess the setting ;) (the Beths at the end are an outlier but I love this song + it fits perfectly, so there)

#theatre #storytelling

Venturing down that dark passage
at the end of somebody's life
as dark clouds gather
Nurses with words of kindness
while seeing somebody's life slip away
testing their mettle and resolve
pulling on their sensibilities

His #mettle wasn’t good. Years of bullying had taken its toll on his personality.

The only place he felt safe these days was in the world he saw in his dreams. A lush forest, a deep blue lake below and a brifht blue sky above.

And the dragins that filled him with warmth and comfort.
