Today’s prompt is a little raincloud I made years ago..it’s also because I am feeling under the weather today..so the prompt is #weather #thingstowriteabout

See the reason the Empress Eel never gets caught is because she absorbs the wisdom of every body she nibbles on. She has had enough eel-takers flesh to know all about their horse head bait, their tricks and traps. The Empress is is corpse-wise and you don’t catch the corpse-wise. - Tom Rudd #VOH

And this morning the Shed is a satellite, circling the furthest stars…

Good day all. Image of Lister Lane Cemetery from January 2024.

It remains unclear why the council has erected giant wooden carving of phantom monks on Mercury Common. Some say it's for tourism, to remind visitors of the ghosts meant to walk there. Others take the view it as an act of public works warding. Municipal apotropaism. – #MattAdams

Goodnight from Moxham, where Geraldine Moody is drunk on both rhubarb wine and the power of being Queen at the Misrule Feast. Goodnight from Virginia Haydon, wishing she’d ignored the frost and lingered for more kisses with her goose-footed lover. Goodnight from Hookland.

In that hour when the sky moves from nursery pink and blue to a bruised half-light, spirits wake. They walk towards us down alleys made sodium orange. IA legion of invisible things making themselves known in footsteps, in rough bumpings. – Lou Kemp, Hookland artist, 1982

The field is paper, Footsteps drawn across white snow, Nocturnal journeys. #dailyhaikuprompt field

Mice scurry, spooked by wings embarking on midnight forage. Beyond the trees the coyotes yip and banter and small things stay quiet. The moon plays with shadows across the snow, trees becoming spectral, long fingers stretching while stars move through their stories. #vssdaily embark #vss365 spooked

This mornings crow. ✨

The gentle sound of a lullaby played on an acoustic #guitar fills the summer air as we lay with eyes closed, sun gently warming our bodies. #thingstowriteabout

In the staff room at lunch, we all commented on how the children were happy with the hard frosts and walking to school in the cold. This seemed to be largely down to a belief it was keeping the Wood Sprite known as Gore Knuckles in hibernation. – Joanna Vickers, diary entry January 6th, 1982

Good day all.

My morning is snow, White paper cutouts dancing, My world disappears. #dailyhaikuprompt morning

'Snow falling and night falling fast, oh, fast In a field I looked into going past, And the ground almost covered smooth in snow, But a few weeds and stubble showing last.' -Robert Frost 🎨Louis Apol

She has the ups and down of an elevator with all the buttons pressed. An oddball pretending to be serious but secretly hiding a pocket unicorn. She is a polite nod and a how are you today but in her mind she is a trapeze artist balanced far above pleasantries… #vssdaily elevator #vss365 oddball

#bookchatweekly „He even attempted a poem himself, an Italian sonnet in Alexandrines, but found himself alarmingly ungifted at it before he had struggled his way through the octave. He thought he might attempt it some time in Anthean.“ ✍️Walter Tevis, The Man Who Fell to Earth

Are you looking for magic? Have you put it down somewhere, placed common sense on top of it by accident. Do you remember how it hummed, if it shone for you and beckoned? Can you think of a happy thought? It can be the smallest thing, like stars balanced on your fingers… #thingstowriteabout magic
