Late the blackbird in the greyed day
Short days filled to the brim with cold and Hunger
Still it's song lasts and brings joy
I envy its ability to work with the seasons

"Perhaps we should drink a toast–to the health of King Channan and all his brave friends." He gestured to the servant to refill his goblet, but the flagon was empty. #vss365

'Pen name' is said in a flat American accent by a harassed writer dressed in sweatpants & coffee-stained t-shirt hunched over a keyboard
'Nom de plume' is said with panache by a mysterious figure wielding a quill *scratch scratch* on a sheaf of parchment while wearing a cloak & possibly a top hat

you often told me
my first love was words;
you couldn’t share
your full heart
when half was returned.
so we interred our love
in a sidhe by the sea;
a soft promise,
bidding it health
in the afterlife.
and i took up my nib,
alone with the images
i penned for you.

The supply ship lifted off in a cloud of lunar dust and ribbons of energy from the thrusters, sending the dust to gather around Dylan before falling slowly under the low gravity.
The crates held enough for the #health and well-being of his crew, if not for any comforts. Comfort was luxury.

The courtier cleared his throat. "If you wish I can read the relevant codes of law to you, Highness. Essentially both cases have similar circumstantial evidence, but no proof. Find one guilty and you must find the other guilty also." #WIPSnips

She comes from a land
inhabited by omen-birds
whose wings inscribe
the scrolls of what shall be
Their flutter
can summon life
& call down flame
It’s the country
with no banner or anchor
only reckonings #relevant
to soul’s fated harbor
where #heart_song is born

'The #relevant behaviour, Pixie, is to be supportive of my harp playing endeavours. You're meant to smile & clap, or commiserate if the recital doesn't go as planned. You're not meant to join in the booing, & definitely not hand out rotten tomatoes for throwing!'

Here's a different take on the koi drawing.
I have trouble controlling my lines sometimes because my hand shakes. It used to bother me a lot & I'd spend time trying to correct them, but nowadays, I'm like, to hell with it. It proves a flawed human drew this imperfect thing with human intent 🙂

The third day was no easier. Ussu's complaints grew more intense throughout the day and did not abate over the next one. Ro stayed out of her sight whenever possible. #WIPSnips

What do you want to be? You have options. Do you want to be moss crumpled and green? Do you want to run down a hill, your arms outstretched or do you want to wait on a seesaw for a giant to sit on the other side? They are all viable choices. I’ve chosen a poetry reading with trees..

✨Pix and Gabe actually did it! The Shadow Deception is a bronze winner in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards.
I'd love it if you joined them on their adventures.

"What do you want to look for first? Medical texts? Random mechanicals?"
"Shouldn't we look for the building plans?" Ro asked.
"No need, they're in the mystical sciences section under 'Elevations', fifth shelf up. I can't think how they got there."
"You hid them!" #vss365

She gave up the science, questioning the magic. She hoarded words until she became rich in stories. Occasionally she would benevolently hand out poems, tipping words into an outstretched mind. Myths that grew in her thoughts like moss, logic packed away and forgotten.
