Christmas on the #mountain
First with my mother's family
First with snow
Everything strange
From the few I remembered
On my paternal side
Where were all the cousins?
Why didn't we eat collards?
Why was Santa so stingy
Just because we were
Six hundred miles away?

"You're making a #mountain out of a molehill." He rubbed his face, waiting for more. But she stayed quiet. He glanced up in surprise, she'd been so worked up and now silence. She was staring down at her hands, barely moving. She even looked like she'd shrunk."Elle."
"Forget it,you're right."

Plague
And
Rebellion

A mountain top,
The King
Can't climb
Down from

Death,
Piles it high
Life,
Fighting under
Its mire

The Black hands,
Sparking Dragon,
Lights the
Castle Towers
And mass
Funeral pyres
#vss365 #mountain

Lily,
I see
All the running
Has got your
Cheeks all
Rosie and glowing

For the
Mountain top,
Your heart
Desires
It's real breath
Again...
#vss365 #mountain

A bundle
Of firey ginger
The moon's
Strange bloom
Clouded over
Castle walls

The Harris Hawks
Panicked,
Ordering the
Servants
To light
His landing lawn

For
The Castle,
Under the
Welsh Mounain
To return
As a
Dragon's home

The thrown
No longer
Alone at dawn

We climb through ancient trees.
Higher up the twisty path until their canopies stretch like baize beneath us. At the cloud line the air thins.
Now, the #mountain beckons.
The sun slips past as we ascend.
We’ll summit in moonlight and snow.

@vss365hq.bsky.social I stay up late, drink too much. They say I ought to slow down, step off the merry-go-round. But they don't understand. I'll be greater than they'll ever be. They say I'm too weak to do it, but they'll see. I'll make the #mountain come to me. #vss365

First I post a #raven #clerihew, & now I'm posting a #mountain #quatrain. Why no limerick today? Beats me!

There are days I feel old as the hills
And I long for those youth-making fountains.
But this contrary thought gives me thrills:
It’s better than old as the mountains.

Scale glass #mountain’s peak,
leave an old gnome in a pique;
a princess, your prize.

“Who were they? His friends? I would not try to drag just someone down a #mountain. Armour is heavy.” Piter fanned himself with a paper and there was tapping on the window as rain started. Uller flipped the pages and stopped on a line. “Francis Hugh the Younger.” #vss365

“Why did he drag those two down?” Piter placed another stack of documents on the reading table. It was a veritable #mountain of information by now, and it was only documents from the official library. “I do not know. Perhaps he thought they could be saved?” #vss365

Uller shook his head as he tried to imagine it happening. The young Rook dragging two knights, in armour down a #mountain. According to the report, he dragged them for a short ride. Over the rocks while wounded and then coming to camp and being put into the irons. #vss365

“Listen to this Piter. The #mountain assault of Gregorian Fortress Panum has stalled. There is not enough paths to travel. Earlier today I was inspecting the progress and saw a young lieutenant dragging with him two bodies from higher slopes. Both pierced with arrows.” #vss365

#mountain, #mountains, #momentofzen, #sky, #aurora, #lake, #nature, #art just some mountains to chill to

Outside the station door she stopped, panicking.

"I can't-"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm an Earth witch. There's nothing here. I'm greying out-"

He grinned. "Stone walls and spires: a #mountain. Brick: earth and fire. Glass, in rain: a beach. Basic transfiguration. And so much power."

I never really considered how erectile dysfunction drugs are used to attack reproductive freedom before, but now looking at the #mountain of evidence buried under dirt & plants like Chinese pyramids, it seems plain as day that drug companies act as pushers trying to make us their sex slaves.

My eyes devour the colorful landscape. The countryside pops with fluorescent vegetation. A vibrant purple hue covers the #mountain range. The vivid blue hair and eyes of the Sotkari people match their environment. Their grey skin is the only drab thing on this planet.

Do you like to frolic
in a sea of delight
or dance on a cloud in a dream
perhaps spring through the air
no gravity at force
as you shout, cry and scream
Do you live for chocolate
cherries dunked in a bowl
with a mountain of whipped cream

I hope I never peak

Striving to reach goals
Reaching to higher heights
Never feeling I've conquered the mountain
Is where I like to reside

I do not want to be enlightened
I'm seeking enlightenment
Once you think you're 'there', you've gone nowhere

I hope I never peak
