Oh no!
(Don't think there is much chance of that in my house)

And to you Ray!
May your December be filled with joy and merriment

Yes!
Exactly.

A cactus is like a friend
you have known for a long time
you cherish it
It's part of the family
You watch it evolve
age
and grow
You marvel when it suddenly flowers
as it is perched like a king
by your kitchen window

Yes!
Definitely tough plants.
Very difficult to kill, (not that I would ever want to, but slips of memory and focus can often do that to plants.)

Tough as the desert
It came from, cactus standing
Tall and proud, prickly.

A sentiment I very much share!

Approaching the end
Of another year, grateful
For all I found here.

I forgot about those birds.
Nature is brutal!
Brilliant rhyming scheme in this, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Kebabs on a skewer
Are not just for people
Out in the desert
The cactus is lethal
Butcher birds throw lizards
For later for retrieval
After they’ve baked
On those sharp needles

🤣 I have no idea, but it's hilarious either way, and probably an absolute menace in D&D

Cacti, hippotomi
Psilocybin dream crossbreed
Is it a cactus animal in the river
Or a giant terror in the desert?

Very emotional piece!
You definitely do the situation justice, I really feel for the guy.

when I was in hospital I watched a chap have his loved ones do this whilst he was still having problems (out of fear I guess). The chap pulled through but really mostly he just needed support. I played chess with him.

11 syllables sounds so awkward... but I shall try

🤣 this is brilliant!
Absolutely adorable image, the cuteness it conjures up almost had me in tears

#1505 Legs

Urban crosswalk march,
linked toddlers marching slowly
caterpillar legs

Hello Wild Walk #writers

Another day of downpour, another day inside, so here is one of my (embarrassingly dusty) houseplants.
I enjoy cacti.

This is beautifully sinister and creepy!
And shines brightly at the end

#Memories crawl
over me
like spider #legs—
caught in the past's
wicked web

I wish to cover
over it with #ice,
leave it where it lies
but it stares at me
with a #thousand eyes

#admiring the #aurora
of better days,
a #lily of hope
begins to raise

a guiding light
beyond the haze
of bad memories.

A wonderful image

🤣
Sounds like a fun dream!

I had a dream I was a lobster
in San Francisco Bay
It seemed a strange way
to spend all my day
Moving slowly
eyes all around
nervous and edgy
8 walking legs
fixed to the ground
wary of fisherman
out for a profit
scavenging about in a deep water closet

Fantastic wordplay!
Especially that ending!

forested decor
placeholder for lights and lore
simple wonder boughs

Fantastic piece Ann!
I feel seen!

A #weird dread,
product of
procrastination,
like taking down
a #dead
#Christmas #tree
in February,
the #daffodils
almost up
already

tasks #crowd
at the #gates
of my mind,
flashing neon—
#magenta

a #tangled web
of duties avoided,
I #want to
bury my head
but I can't—

time to face them
instead.
