my good fortune -- when winter's cold outside, home's warm inside #thingstowriteabout #home #inkMine (fortune) #senryu #poem ❤️🔥

cold wolf moon our notions of home on thin ice #ThingsToWriteAbout #haiku #senryu #poetry

Is #home where I hang my jacket (I don't have a coat), or where the neighbours know my name & take my parcels when I'm not there? Is it where I can close the door behind me? Whatever it is, "each place that I've been with you, that place has been my home"* *Dave van Ronk #thingstowriteabout

The last time I took a #charter flight was in the 80s. It was one of those cheap carriers that flew between L.A. & Europe. We went north into a colder climate & water started to drip from the ceiling & onto some of the passengers. We took a commercial flight #home. #vssdaily #thingstowriteabout

"You may #charter my vessel but you will travel as an #abstraction of yourself" "And this will #remove my passion my drive? Things that #define my humanity" "Well we can't just let humans prance so far from #home pissing on everything, can we?" #vss365 #2WordPrompt #vssdaily #thingstowriteabout #sff

Don’t tell my fortune, my tea leaves when the bag burst. Don’t read my palm, paint splattered life line. I will walk into the room without the light on & invariably bump into something but you don’t have to tell me. Sometimes I find things better if I stumble in the dark… #thingstowriteabout

For time immemorial We watched sun and moon Those bodies celestial To tell our fortunes Heavens rise and fall Without concern For things so individual The universe turns We are alone And left marooned #thingstowriteabout #fortune #weirdmicro #timeimmemorial #poetry

I wonder what happens to #fortune cookies well past their sell by date. Do they just turn stale? Do their prophecies become null & void or even turn into the opposite, so the "tall, dark stranger" becomes a short blonde familiar? What would Confucius have said? #thingstowriteabout

The prompt for January 2nd is #home …what is home to you? It doesn’t have to be a place.. #thingstowriteabout

Dennis looked on the gap in time with #delight. The #frame of energy seethed with power, holding open the #special fissure. The dinosaurs through there looked less impressed and weren't inclined to say #hello, unaware of their good #fortune #vss365 #2WordPrompt #vssdaily #sff #thingstowriteabout

sky shows off whole new shade of blue like a dare I ask what she calls this but sky says guess #TankaThursday (blue sky) #ThingsToWriteAbout (curiousity)

Happy New Year for January 1st 2026! I opened a random fortune cookie this morning so today’s prompt is #fortune #thingstowriteabout

For my #curiosity, I was reincarnated under a dying star, a stone's #throw just down the galaxy's #flow. Before the end, I sit on a #cliff in the light of Betelgeuse and #dream of a former home. And feel my souls #belong to the universe. #vss365 #vssdaily #2WordPrompt #ThingsToWriteAbout #scifi

feral winter storm a hibernating chipmunk curious to see #haiku #curiosity #thingstowriteabout Can you spot the chipmunk in the tall snow drift? 🐿️

Three things that guide me through my life for more than 45 years now: the words of my favourite fairytales and poets, the #curiosity for people and places, and the almost childlike believe in the good. #thingstowriteabout

I am a curiosity, A simple ebb and flow, Day dreamer of distraction, A thoughtful to and fro, I am a swirling noggin, Forgetful but with tea, Adrift, away with fairies, But always, ever me. #thingstowriteabout curiosity flow

Saving the Cat To err is to be #curious And learn what you don’t know. If you think ignorance is bliss You’re going with the #flow… But it may be an undertow That drags you out to sea… And if you don’t learn, you won’t know That’s not where you should be. 🌊 🐈‍⬛ #thingstowriteabout

The #flow of words tapping from my keyboard to the screen fill me with #curiosity. Often, I am surprised by what I write. #flow #curiosity #thingstowriteabout

Today is December 31st so as we head into the new year there is a choice of two or both prompts.. #curiosity and #flow (maybe you recognize the cat…) #thingstowriteabout

I want a picnic, Sandwich and cake, Somewhere that’s green, Maybe down by the lake, Not in this season, Far too much snow, But I’m planning a picnic, Only four months to go.. #thingstowriteabout picnic

A #picnic on Mars Glass of wine beneath the stars Always looking up #ThingsToWriteAbout #prompt #WritingCommunity #haiku #scifiHaiku

Re: My Sister-in-Law’s Reception Dinner* We had hors d’oeuvres and two desserts, The food was piping hot, They filled my water seven times! A #picnic this was not. #thingstowriteabout #poetry *7 may be an underestimate. Meal quite possibly in my top-5, all-time.

winter howling a picnic indoors #thingstowriteabout

Do you remember when I took you to the Cosmic #picnic on the Comet pasture? We had some Black Hole tea & White Dwarf sandwiches. We even got to pet a moon calf. Everything was fine, until I plucked you a star rose & the Space gardener threw us out. #thingstowriteabout

Strange things happen when I work in the kitchen. Blame the Gremlin! 🤔 #thingstowriteabout #gremlin #senryu #poem

Never where I put them, The things I always lose, The little thingy wotzits, That leave behind no clues, It’s either sprites or gremlins, Of that I am quite sure, Tricksters while I’m sleeping, Leaving Lego on the floor. #thingstowriteabout gremlin

#WritingCommunity #UnchainedSymphony #BraveWrite #thingstowriteabout @ourpoetryx.bsky.social - What follows after the maelstrom is not simply renewal. It is an internal remodeling to liberate the gremlins from your system, and give them a holiday. When they return, you hopefully managed... 1/2

The prompt for December 30th is borne from wishful thinking and is #picnic #thingstowriteabout

Other People’s Children That one (I swear I saw it) bounced: Like rubber off of pavement. That one (I heard) is muttering Like: all sorts of depravement. Are these both yours, the product of A story’s happy ending? To me they seem sort of like they Might be #gremlins decending. #thingstowriteabout

He was #sitting naked on that #sad #planet called Earth. Once it had been a place he #cherished for its beauty & wonderful creatures, but no more after the #gremlins had taken over. He was lucky he was still alive but for how much longer? #vssdaily #2wordprompt #blueskyrelay #thingstowriteabout

rehabilitated gremlins improve my gas mileage #thingstowriteabout

At 20,000 feet, the plane rattled, as a grinning gremlin crawled from the instrument panel. He tightened one bolt and loosened another, tapping a discordant tune on the hull. The engine smoothed to a hum. It winked, vanished, leaving the pilot terrified enough to make it home. #ThingsToWriteAbout

I would like a typewriter, A click clack for my writing, A bell to end my sentences, That works in any lighting, I’d feed it all my paper, Give it ribbons and a name, I’m sure it would inspire me, To be in writing fame. #thingstowriteabout typewriter
