Title: Tracks of Life Poem: I waited at one station As you departed at another There was a possibility that Our journeys would intersect But as I stepped onto my train Yours pulled into the platform That my back was facing You watched me leave As I wondered if we'd ever meet. Our timetables never did align. By Francesca L Rolle

Thanks to @hool415.bsky.social for the excellent #PromptCombo of #TrainsAndStations it's been mulling in my mind for a few days before coming out onto the paper as this. #PoetryCommunity

Thank you for voting this way to allow possibility dying with dignity

A block print on A5 paper of a rather large toad looking a bit grumpy as a fly buzzes in front of its face. The print is propped up on a bookcase.

I'm really pleased with how my #Toad has come out! Such a grumpy boy! 🐸 #BlockPrint #BlueSkyArtShow #Printmaking

Mat, in a threadbare jacket, holding a pole with a dagger tied to it, and blowing into the Horn of Valere. The text reads "#SaveWoT"

The cancellation is no bar to my call. 🎺⚔️ The #WheelofTime fandom is the Heroes of the Horn—and we’re not done fighting. #SaveWoT

A pencil sketch of a fat, grumpy toad staring at a flu buzzing in front of its face. It is drawn on a piece of lino.

I drew this #Toad yesterday ready for carving. It is probably a reflection of my mood. #Printmaking

A naked woman kneels in a pool of blood with her arms and head thrown back. A spear is piercing her chest, from the tip of the spear her heart grows roots and from the shaft grow leaves. It is a small block print in deep blue ink on A5 paper.

This for all the women whose blood, sweat, and tears go into creating life in this world (all forms, not just literal). From her bleeding heart, new life is growing, and with the strength of all the women who have come before her she will live on. #PrintPromptMonday #Portrait #TransRightsMatter
