Unfazed -
a fox follows
its nose.

We followed the #fox down to the urban river at night. We were not prepared for the swans. They slept together, necks bowed and tucked. The water was still. We held our breath. The fox disappeared, not daring to trot through the sleeping birds blocking the path. We turned back.

The storming weather forced the spirits and sensuality of the couple indoors where the forgotten dead thrived under one roof. Out foxed by false security, the intimate drunken bliss fueled the abandoned soul’s next massacre.

foxgloves —
it's not our custom
to wear them here

#thingstowriteabout

the nine tailed fox
one tail for every
one hundred years
wisdom accrued
almost a millennium
but some think
it is a trickster
is it good or bad?

Chickens on the #roof
despite the nasty #weather
Down below, #fox eyes glow:
its mouth stuffed full of feathers.

Today’s Thursday October 15th prompt is #fox #thingstowriteabout

who says we can't
rewrite history
erasing two #dead years

we deserve a remake
sweeping up
bothersome #crumbs
they've left behind

This is my body. Take it. Eat,
that you may have everlasting life.
A #crumb fell into a spider's web.
The spider ate the crumb.
A cat ate the spider.

That cat from the last supper
sleeps under cars in your street
and howls
like all the world's lost babies
at other cats.

don't settle for
a few measly #crumbs
when you deserve the whole package

#thingstowriteabout #poetry #positivity

when tossed #crumbs
in place of encouragement
it may be an indication it's time to let go

i can testify having lived through
a recent disappointment
being shut out instead of offered a leg up

#bravery showed me the way

#thingstowriteabout #vss365 #poetry
#writing #positivity

We are taught
to make do
live for the crumb
when we deserve
the entire cake
don't settle for crumbs

#crumb #thingstowriteabout

When I was small,
And the world was tall,
My height in pencil,
On the kitchen wall,
I would get a spoon,
For the biscuit tin,
Scoop out crumbs,
Like it was a sin,
All the flavours,
Left behind,
My mother knew,
And didn’t mind.

#thingstowriteabout crumb

king of the pigeons
puffing out his chest
for breadcrumbs

#thingstowriteabout

Fight over #crumbs
that fall from above
they are so distracted
and focused on survival
they have no energy
to focus on the
bigger piece of the pie
or the ones who
dole out the slices

Today’s Wednesday October 14th prompt is #crumb #thingstowriteabout

Encapsulated
In a metallic resin,
The last dragon egg.

The taste of forgetfulness on her tongue is #metallic, like copper, like iron.

The hammer weighs nothing in her hand. She only has to recognise them long enough to swing at the right time.

Blood is the life. It's a quote, she knows that, but cannot remember why it matters.

Bot Check

They #projected such confidence
Each one a Smart Alec…
Until Zelenskyy stopped their #spread
And proved them #metallic.

I took some liberties with the word “project.” Cheers.
