#thingstowriteabout

There were cracks in the ceiling and piles of my rubbish all over the floor. If a #beetle dropped from the attic onto clothes, I wouldn't know. If it dropped onto a magazine or a school book, I'd hear the rustle. I didn't have a bed, only a mattress on the floor. Beetle-level.

This is our #beetle I named #Stormy because he looks like a stormy night.
Jeff wanted to name him Bailey like the comic strip but I thought it an insult to Stormy.
At least we could agree to put a leftover #ear of corn in the terrarium for him.

Monday mood:
a beetle
on its back

#thingstowriteabout

#Cold snap
between summer
and autumn
takes us all
by surprise
the air hangs heavy
with the ominous approach
of a pop up thunderstorm

#thingstowriteabout #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

Journey #together
no man is an island
touch one strand
of the universe
and although
you might not see it
it affects people
on the other side
whom you might
never get to know

#thingstowriteabout #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

A #beetle
clings to the leaf
its home
its source of food
until it is evicted
but a strong gust
of autumn wind

Tiny violence,
A beetle battles for it's
Life against the ants.

I need to get my shit #together. The problem is, I need to have my shit together in order to get my shit together.

It's like trying to write a story, but you don't know what the story is until you write it.

Please #divide the #Paella

#Divide the #filigree strands

Let's #divide that #Bistro bill

#Divide the cash #together

They will #divide the #barn chores

Little kindnesses
Could still stitch us together,
Healing of old wounds.

#thingstowriteabout

This summer, we went on a summer holiday to the Orkneys. My husband drove us over the causeway at Scapa Flow to South Ronaldsay. I saw a man wearing a pink swimming cap, standing in the water. Another man was watching him. Even after multiple heatwaves, the water will be #cold.

#thingstowriteabout #class

I don't understand classy as a compliment. It's only acceptable use is to undercut vulgarity with irony, as in, "stay classy". Otherwise, it feels like an adjective from Carry On films, or Abigail's Party, or Ferrero Rocher. "A classy bird." "These canapés are classy."
