there was no needle
just haystack after haystack
stitched to a sunset

The plums are all gone,
Blue jays now eat our apples,
Payment in feathers.

Gleeful magpies seize
On breadcrumbs newly scattered
Cache them in the grass.

'Under the weather'
Poor euphemism for feel-
ing so ruddy awful I can't even write a proper haiku.

Scarlet, freckled white,
Mushroom out of fairy tale,
Earthy, damp and real.
#haiku

Fly agaric mushroom among leaves and grass - perfect round flat top, scarlet with white spots.

And the air is rent with yowls
Of indignation.

It does have its moments, doesn't it? And we're all sort of a bit ashamed of admitting it! I still think that child is creepy as anything though.

I love that film. The visuals are incredible. They create a whole fantasy world I longed to visit when I first watched it - and still do.

When in doubt....dance with the Weasels. @marymonkart.bsky.social

Hurrah it is Wednesday, we are back from Manchester and the weasels are of course, dancing. Today a bit of Pulp and Commin people. I’m pretty sure Jarvis is actually a weasel.
Dance like a weasel you know you want to! #weaselwednesday

Dull, relentless rain
Mulching down the autumn fires
Quenching their colours.

I enjoyed that one. Kate Atkinson's dry humour is very compelling.

Jo Monk @jomary10.bsky.social · 2d

That's fascinating (although I would love to know how we can tell if a slug is hallucinating or not!)

Bunch of leaves, Autumn's
Punch, childlike delight in the
Crisp crunch underfoot.

My calico cat
Shrimped happily in my chair.
That was MY blanket.
