The Wind And The “Epistle” (six sentence story)
Earlier in the week I came across someone new to me through Sadje, a friend at dVerse Poets. She is GirlieOnTheEdge and offers prompts for Six Sentence Stories, an idea I liked, like some of the 144 word Flash Fiction prompts you can find at dVerse, though with six sentences allowed that gives me a bit… Continue reading

So Then Sunday: Gonna Wanna Rule Somebody (song)
Been a while for a tune, I have a couple of new things ready to go as there is plenty of end of freedom and liberty days material to work with right now, attempts at destroying democracy’ll do that, but it seems that I am a bit of a Diva and am not quite comfortable… Continue reading

Loud or Not
Been a bit of a, I won’t say weird, but weird week (Jesus, those pipes doing pipe things in old houses sound like someone was just finishing up a shower upstairs) though I’ve surely heard weirder in other times, the usual solitary ones, in other old houses, but I have been in this one alone… Continue reading

The Crow & The Winter Witch (poem)
So at dVerse Poets this week Kim had an eye check-up for a new prescription and part of the check-up was to read from laminated test cards of different size fonts in sentences and below each of the sentences were sets of four words. She thought these sets of four words would make a cool… Continue reading

To Cliche Or Not To Cliche, That Is … The Cliche? (poem)
So there was a prompt from Bjorn at dVerse Poets earlier this week and it was this, Meet the bar positively through negation (though I did miss the window of submission to this one … I am often late to the party on a lot of these but still a prompt). Now, I’m sure, I… Continue reading

Oh,… Continue reading

Ma
Been holding off on posting of my mother’s passing here until I wrote something for her. Now what I have here doesn’t even scratch the surface of what she meant to us and our family and her friends, but, like my Dad, who passed around 30 or so years ago now, she was important, so… Continue reading

New Year’s Eve, Stinky Joe and “For the Love of Benji”
(a silly sort of stream ramble) Now I don’t know about you all but I didn’t really have anything in mind for this New Year’s Eve, very much unlike New Year’s Eve’s from recent years past where I, at best, have ended up panhandling on a street corner in the morning or busking with no… Continue reading

A Cardiff Production: working title “Nether Gate”
What do you see # 267- 16, December, 2024. Came across this prompt from Sadje through a friends response to it and I really liked the picture. “What Do You See?”. So some fun then. Trysta said no way Koby said no way Ellara said nothing but sided with a nod, two Chunk said no way… Continue reading

Context (a really stupid post)
Now this is a one trick pony as it wouldn’t be real any longer, always thinking of some funny or stupid response to add to this concept with any people I talk with (and I annoy them all enough already, believe me) if I were to attempt to make this a regular thing. Like how… Continue reading
