Might take some time, but a little flash fiction wouldn't hurt ๐
Funny, just this morning, I was thinking about when the next Faesense prompt would be due ๐
BTW, that's one of the things I like most about our little corner of the net - the mutual inspiration
It looks a bit like a swan, opening its wings ๐ฆข
Always a pleasure ๐
Your lines make me want to write a poetical high fantasy story
(& I normally prefer urban fantasy ๐
)
Do you remember old cartoons
where people painting the floor
would trap themselves in a #corner?
I wrote myself into a corner, with
no chance of getting out. Worst
of all, my tea supply is finished.
Please send help!
A pack of East Frisian Blend
& a thesaurus would do as First Aid.

I put my dark glasses on,
I am going to charm you
with my voodoo:
the scent of orchids,
gwouabi powder and
sprinkles of Mississippi water.

If I am the King of the Classroom,
then I bow down before you, bc
every king deserves a #queen
& you are mine. Instead of a crown,
you wear the flowers I put in your hair;
instead of a throne, we are sitting
on our sofa, side by side,
ruling over our plushies.

Can you be kind to this precious life that you are living. I know it torments and rampages, forgets to dance sometimes. It is unruly and messy but even its smallest songs are worth caring for. Take a pause, see the things in between and love as hard as you canโฆ

#FirstBirdOfMyDay was a male pigeon, loudly courting an unimpressed female all over the train station.
Yes, Iโm religious, I believe in the holy trinity
#Precious Moments
when I step ouside in the morning
& hear the birds singing for the first
time that day
when my train finally arrives
& I know I haven't waited in vain
when a long-gone friend visits me
in a dream & tells me they are not
angry or sad that I didn't attend their funeral

While doing the research for my #vss365 contribution, I learned that Bonnie Parker (of Bonnie & Clyde "fame") wrote poetry, some of which was published posthumously. So today, instead of my own poems, I am sharing with you the works of an (in)famous oulaw

#FirstBirdOfMyDay was a choir of blackbirds, syncopated by a single crow.

Yet another pulls my sleeve. I am
not King Salomon, so I just close my eyes
& take my pick, hoping I made the right decision.

I have to confess, lately,
I escalated a bit when buying books.
now it's even harder to choose
what to read next. One book #winks
at me, another flaps its cover. A big tome
shouts: Me! in a baritone voice.
This is how I access Bluesky
Outside my window
the birds are singing
in four-part #harmony.
Are they summoning spring
or is it their early morning news flash?

Normally, #sleep comes
shortly after I close my eyes.
Sometimes, sleep
comes unexpected, while
watching TV or during
a boring conference.
Sometimes, sleep
doesn't come at all
& I need to offer Morpheus
sacrifices of valerian tea
or GABA so he finally
let's me into his realm.

She shoot a
#lightning bolt
from the corner
of her eye.
Soon, I was reduced
to a smouldering
heap of ashes.
Obviuosly,
my latest quip
was not as funny
as I'd thought.

In the #spellbound #hour
between darkness & dawn,
between sleep & waking,
shortly before my alarm rings,
& I don't know whether the bird
I am hearing is outside my window
or inside my head, I pull the blanket
tighter around me once more,
hoping there's one more dream
to dream before breakfast.

In Germany, we donโt say
โYouโve got a bee
under the bonnetโ, but
โYouโve got a #birdโ,
which for me, for some years,
was true, because I had a little
blue budgie named Willy, after
my Granduncle. He could whistle
the River Kwai March
