When Lotte is asked to find a Labour Leader’s Stasi file she suspects a modern-day version of Zersetzung, this time using social media to make up stories about the left. #ddrzeit #kruger #doxxing #theleft

I used to work in advertising and came with a campaign to market the ' #ultimate pen ' It took a while to realise why no one took me seriously.

Beethoven was on the telephone
Selling sheet music and having a moan
Frankly not sure which is worse
The overtures or the #undertone

OK, so it was only a poem, not a weather forecast:-

His #raincoat hangs behind the door
But Alex is not living here anymore
Gone to a place there's no rain
My God, he’s died
She cried
No
I replied
Somewhere with no extradition treaty
Probably Spain

Chucking it down with rain here in the Santuari de Lluc, Mallorca. Time to buy a 'blauet' in the tourist shop? No these are not Argentinian footballers, they're baby choirboys from the local escolania. Not to be confused with the other kind of 'blauet', a kingfisher 🤔

Katie was always losing things. She lost her #raincoat at the park whilst playing football. She lost her dinner money on the school bus.
But she never expected to lose her shadow. She'd had it yesterday. It had followed her all around the playground.
But now it was gone.

We head into the final few stops on our musical mystery tour, it's day 11 just 4 more days to enjoy (or endure 🤣)

Today's inspiration is from post-punk pioneers who served up the wonderful Odyshape LP, today's #vss365 #prompt 11/10/25 is #raincoat

What's your favourite album?

When sadness showers down
Made from artificial
Silly people clouds
There naught be
An umbrella
Or a #raincoat
Big enough
To cover
Ones heart
From welling up
And sinking
Like a boat
With a broken hull

The griefer wore a long coat, like a #raincoat, on his character, trying to look like something modern in the fantasy world, but it just looked dumb. He walked around, text bubbles appearing over his head, insulting everyone.

Some responded, insulting him back, but Rory walked away.

A very British Coup, but this time with help of the German press and a future Labour Leader's Stasi file steinkrugpublications.co.uk

I let a vampire make love to me
Yes, that was somewhat rash
And take this as a warning
When the sun rises in the morning
The bed is covered in #ash

See there is a Picasso exhibition at the Tate Modern.
My wife said I would never cut it as an impressionist
She is laughing on the other side of her face now

She was an #advert for a quantum of misery.
Only the most skilled poet could translate into verse.
‘Smile,’ I told her, ‘Things can only get better.’
Then she smiled.
And everything seemed a lot worse.

Science fiction is the product of an #elastic mind
And just occasionally
A stretch of the imagination of a different kind

Hers was a tabloid existence
She reflected on what she #read in the Daily Mirror.
But then was burned by The Sun #vss365

Jane

She was Guardian
Of the #Oasis
May she rest in peace
In the Forest spaces
With the ones
She loved

She must be replaced,
With another
Who understands
Loves faces.
The sacred places
Of impermanence
And eternity.
Another champion,
Willing Guardian
Of this interstellar
Blue green
Oasis.
