The way to work - my early morning #gamble. Unreliable trains. #vss365

Quote with your flags.

... now it's a quarter past #midnight and I don't know what to do. The martini has changed its color from transparent to blue. (A snippet from my song lyrics "Shaken not stirred" a.k.a. "The Martini Girl") #vss365

Don't make such a #drama, Llama! No fear, my Deer! We'll talk later, Ali Gator! No quarrel, Mr. Squirrel! #thingstowriteabout #nonsense

#EarwormOfTheDay: The Mad Lady & me by Jimmy McCarthy Don't know where this one came from but it's better than the one I had before - one of Klaus Kinski's (in)famous Villon recitations youtu.be/wJzJGm4F6MM?...

The alarm rings at 4 am so I'm on time for the work I love, but that slowly breaks my heart, thanks to the #primitive politics that make learning (& living, especially in peace) so challenging lately. If it wasn't for my students' smiles, I wouldn't know what I'd do (probably go on anyway) #vss365

Out of your comfort zone & into the bus. Enjoy the #adventure of the rush hour & in the curves, hold on to your seats, because the driver thinks, he is in Monza. (from "The Omnibus Cantos", an abandoned cycle of poems) #thingstowriteabout

1/2 #vss365 Passing time, my hands have been busy writing Passing time, their fingers struggled with the 4 twin strings of the mandolin Passing time, the thorns of cacti have pricked their sensitive skin Passing time, the weight of books often rests in them

#WritingCommunity #vss365 #BSPP53 @darkxfer.bsky.social @ourpoetryx.bsky.social - Fridge Fright My dearest friend Fridge, Thank you so much for your service. You keep my food fresh, my drinks cool, and sometimes also my head when check your contents on Summer days of heat-locked... 1/9

Do you remember old cartoons where people painting the floor would trap themselves in a #corner? I wrote myself into a corner, with no chance of getting out. Worst of all, my tea supply is finished Please send help! A pack of East Frisian Blend & a thesaurus would do as First Aid #thingstowriteabout

was it #gravity that kept the butterfly's shadow on the ground, while the original flew past above my head where I couldn't see it, so all I could do was notice it's dark counterpart floating over the hot asphalt #vss365

Wusste gar nicht, dass es das gibt. Symphatisch auf den ersten Blick. Our vision is linked to »a« One World Flag and not »the« or »our« One World Flag, as this whole symbol is more than just one design or our design. A symbol for our home the blue planet no matter where we live in. 1worldflag.com

I found a litter of lost words from a poem nesting in her hair They'd fled a hiccuping fit but wanted to stay close

I can not read poetry with hiccups, let alone write it - the words will jump all over the page or worse, jump off it, so I have to run after & catch them, before they get lost in the wild. #FromOneLine

Live AND learn? In this economy?

I #immerse myself into the bathtub like I put the teabag into the hot water. Let me draw for 10 minutes and see what happens. #vss365

It's that time of the year when the weather allows for me to walk to the train station. A small park with a lake is on the way, so the #FirstBirdOfMyDay were a bunch of geese with their goslings, some blackbirds, a wren, several crows & quite a few busy pigeons. (I wonder where the swans were, tho')

Bear found at Langenhorn Markt, Hamburg, Germany. Ihr müsst bitte alle unbedingt dafür sorgen, dass er wieder nach Hause kommt. Stoffbär gefunden. Lag ganz einsam im Regen am U Langenhorn Markt, wo die Buslinie 192 endet. Bestimmt ist jemand ganz traurig! 😔🐻

For #linger, here's my prose poem "The Pain", published in @theamazine.bsky.social in July 2023 #vss365 theamazine.com/2023/07/15/t...

#FirstBirdOfMyDay were four duck (1 female, 3 male), collectively grooming themselves.

#EarwormOfTheDay: To the sea by Katzenjammer ...it wasn't even particularly windy this morning... www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY17...

I feel a strong urge to rhyme " #alley" with "Sally" - unfortunately, it has been done several times before. So instead, I'll post a joyful rendition of "Bully in the Alley" by The Longest Johns (In seaman language, bully means passed out drunk) #Thingstowriteabout www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dof7...

I am haunted by the ghost of a girl with blue hair, asking me Why? Why did I betray her trust, being too much the teacher and not enough the human. Why did I realise only years later, why she never came to my classes again? How bitter tastes the revenge of memory! #vss365 #betrayal

He walked into the garden each morning with the the #intent of greeting each flower with its name. #vss365

How #expensive is a sunrise? Eseially one that is made of liquid gold. Is there a special stock exchange for natural phenomena? Judging from the weather lately, the rain bonds must be pretty high. Nevertheless, could I buy some sun shares? #thingstowriteabout

day after day, year after year, the sea keeps on charging against the coast, eating away bits & pieces, but never getting enough. will it have stilled its #hunger only after it has swallowed the whole island? #thingstowriteabout

blood red disturbingly beautiful #feral sunrise #vss365 📷 own, from December 2024

#FirstBirdOfMyDay was a kestrel, seen from the window of my commuter train.

#EarwormOfTheDay: Mr. Eurovision by Neil Innes Bangaranga? Monty Python's musical accomplice had his own idea about what a ESC song should be like www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HuP...

Yesterday, the forecast said "No rain!" So we took a walk along the sea front & of course, it started to pour. But there were several #luminous spots between the dark clouds. We looked around but nothing happened & now the weather god owes us a rainbow. #vss365

#HappyBirthday Udo Lindenberg! Ein Eierlikörchen auf die nächsten 80.! 💐 #botd #otd www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFwS...

I am a terrible pen pal! I love receiving & reading letters, but when it comes to writing back, I procrastinate, I find excuses, I make several drafts before I can finally send it. So, if I still owe you a #letter, I haven't forgotten you... #thingstowriteabout

The third verse of my song lyrics for "The Laundromat Song" goes like this: Didn't know what to do with myself, so I put me on the #shelf & now all those books won't fall down. (Anothet song that voices'll never share) #thingstowriteabout

Let's give this #barren wall a bit of colour! Maybe an innocent white or a hopeful green. A grafitti or two also wouldn't hurt (as long as you not just only scribble your name, we've had enough of those). Something to look at & make the people smile. #vss365

& when I came home you still didn't speak with me at first, but when I looked into the fridge I saw that you had prepared two deluxe desserts for us #hidden #forgiveness #thingstowriteabout #vss365

Love shines out of both: the good one as well as the glass #eye. #thingstowriteabout

hammock days the diligence of the primrose path #vss365 #diligent

The other day, I put some objects I no longer needed, into an oblong cardboard #box, wrote “For Free” on it and put it outside our door. The next morning, the things were still there, but someone needed the box. #thingstowriteabout

Finally arrived: my copy of the new #FromOneLine anthology "If I were a cat", including three of my poems, as well as beautiful writings from across the #FromOneLine community #writingcommunity

Slightly increase a band Menowar

#FirstBirdOfMyDay was a mother duck, walking along with her two ducklings.
