twilight rushes
the gloaming comes early
and my cheeks sting
with the chill in the air

it's that time of the season
summer's gone
and i yearn for change

i've always loved
this time of year

The Taiwanese lighthouse was built in 1939 after the ocean liner SS President Hoover hit Green Island's reef on 11 December 1937.

It's not you, it's me - the words I couldn't love Like many writers, I have favourite words. Ampersand, for example, ticklish and innominate. But here's a confession: I've ghosted far more.You'll know the usual offenders. Casually demeaning words, li...

Hello, lovelies.

Here is a small smiley blog about loving some words and forsaking others.

Hope you enjoy.

'Unveiling the Earth of Reversed Evolution' by Aya Takano. Stylised Earth and planets cluster in purple night sky. Around them, a dreamy swoosh of zodiac and Milky Way. In which, a naked pale fawn and mermaid swim. Around the whole, pastel yellow and pink flowers watch on, as does a fish, scarlet deer, a dark-eyed ghostly seed.

Six months post-stroke, my mother points to the high wispy clouds floating in the blue, through the window of her care-home. "I want to be there. Let me go."

I whisper, "Heaven, Mom? With Dad and Julie." She cracks up laughing. "No, home. That's north. I want to go home." And we laugh and laugh.

I see things in a weird way
Coz Iโ€™m a poet
I also tell good lies
Coz iโ€™m a storyteller
Make of that what ya like
But understand
Sometimes my words are pretty
Sometimes deadly
The mood is the write
The write is the mood
Just like that
Thatโ€™s what ya get
Get to read daily

lingering on
rustic plum blossoms
the gray sky

pure waters
sullied by #malignant ruin
and now they run fetid

but even the most toxic
of environments
can be made anew

dirty oceans
revive to rain

vicinity and moment
tethered together
by association
both sides of a coin
the reflection
in an eager mirror

there were snowdrops
that day you kissed me

so now, naturally
they'll always remind me of you

after the moonquake
dust settles in new patterns
I read into glyphs

this lonely old rock
replies to my love poems
in cryptic scribbles

serpent eats itself
what if she means to change me
forever

Such was my rage in the morn
I blew a haphazard sigh to the sky
Clouds appeared #malformed

Whoever forgot to leave
Me a fresh coffee brew
Be a dead man walking

Theyโ€™ve not yet returned
Perhaps they are aware
An acidic burn of a beast
Awaits in her lair

She considers the offer, a good one, she thinks as the server refills her cup. I could work here, she says, tallying her new wealth. But as she sips, the coffeeโ€™s aroma hits like a warning shot, and Kirkโ€™s #malformed soul appears to her in the grounds and then his smile. Do we have a deal?
