You move your castle but you cannot jump. Your knight is lost while you look at the king. Rules are in place. You know you must care about the crowns, wooden royalty hiding at the back. You can’t help yourself.You run ahead, throw yourself in front to protect the pawns.

if you see an #axolotl
don't pick it up
it dislikes being touched
leave it to guard
the king's #castle
where it can sit
and be adorable

A Poet, Defeated

I guess I am committed… can’t
stuff Genie back in its bottle.
But then, that means I’ll have to rhyme
something with #axolotl?

Throttle me now! But why? But how?
Dear Satan, not today!
Oh well. Guess I am bound for hell…
I‘ve got nothing to say.

On top of
the Cliff of the Last Sorrow,
in a #castle built from wrecked ships,
lives the Pirate King.
A black parrot sits on his shoulder
(nobody knows where he got him from).
His vault is filled with treasures unknown,
but the only treasure he cares about
is the heart of Captain Samira's daughter.

Well my first read went to dementia…then the second read the violence sank in…

I love languages!

Monday February 9th is #castle but if you want a challenge why not try #axolotl 😉 #thingstowriteabout

Had to translate but now love that I know the different word for shapeshifter!

Read this a few times..so many takes from it..

My face hits the door
Once more I reach
Lower than the handle
Sits, higher than
Remembered, I forget
A useless thing again
Still standing confused
Abused I’m guessing
As the blood hits the
Floor, guess I’ll knock
And ask why I’m
Standing at this door

When my heart breaks It now bleeds a little faster There was room in it For all of you Until your love turned sour When my heart breaks It opens a little further Like a door to purge What's toxic in my book When my heart breaks I resolve, and transform Until I find my backbone When my heart breaks There's calm after the storm When my heart breaks © Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree

Music in the distance
The notes hit your
Chest, the rest held
Back, stacked at the
Window, bass felt but
Treble tests the glass
Moving fast it bounces
Near soundless, held
Back, the notes hit the
Window, the music
Hits your chest

A #window gives a look
Into something new
They put one in a cow
To learn how they moo?
A portal for science
Into one of their stomachs
I saw the pictures
As they opened it up
The poor cow just stood
Slowly chewing its cud
As they tried to figure out
. . . I’m not sure what

You have a window installed in your chest so I can see what you mean.

Peeping between ribs like blinds at your fist of a heart, pale- knuckled pounding.

Wants to be free, you say. But my guess is, your heart is knocking for better luck than me.

Gaia The gentle kiss of the wind On the ground beneath me An expression of affection For all her love, and beauty Pale moonlight through my window Reflecting on these moments Of such excellence shared That they knock me off my feet If I don't piecemeal pace Enjoying a blood orange One section at a time © Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree

There was a loud knock at the #door, almost like thunder. When I opened the door, there was a cloud waiting.
"What can I do for you?" I asked.
Shyly it blushed, almost like a sunset, and then it dissolved into a warm spring rain.

Love! ✨

The Fire We Make

Your look carried a small
precocious, contained fire—
not reckless, just certain.
Heat traveled the long way
through centuries—destined
doors, all keys unlocked—
the clock, forgot its assignment.

Open the #door
what lies beyond
will determine what happens
good or bad
but do you accept it
or just go one and try
another portal
to change your fate?
