Slow Puncture   I’d use every one of them – each tiny symbol / sign – to ‘light up’ my words … and write eye-catching lines: the comma; the colon; the ellipsis; the slash; the question mark; the hyphen; the en and em dash.   In stanzas 1-2, it was all there on show (Was there nothing not used? The short answer: No!) But then I came to an unfortunate juncture: my punctuation, you see, got a slow puncture   and those small, helpful marks which let my words breathe and made me understood, all started to leave. Hyphens unhappened semi colons got missed apostrophes went awol in commaless lists.   “And what of the question marks Oh yes even those (while my brackets and speech marks forgot how to close When the last comma left there was nowhere to pause my words floated by in one endless clause   and no one could tell once the full stops departed where one sentence ended and another one started capitals absconded and meaning left too as the breaks between stanzas bowed then withdrew just like the line breaks then all sense gotblurred thelastthingtogowasthegapsbetweenwordsbrianbilston

Today’s poem is called ‘Slow Puncture’.

POET: And, like a dying lady lean and pale, Who totters forth, wrapp’d in a gauzy veil, Out of her chamber, led by the insane And feeble wanderings of her fading brain,The moon arose up in the murky east, A white and shapeless mass.

"His job was to make sense of the world, and there were times when he wished that the world would meet him halfway."

I am very pleased with how book 2 is going. Its taking time, but i think I'm heading towards something really special.

I feel the same about the Skeletal Swarming and Ramses Assassin Lord in my own changeling deck.

I’ve always wondered if the original intent was for the cunning man to turn the rough music against Typhany at the end of the book and for her to have to defeat it.

That is not dead which can eternal lie,

“Who is the Grinch?”

“Oh, im sorry. The correct question is “What is the Grinch?””

i dont know man, sometimes I think about all the good stuff we have lost from tender souls

Yes, and it happened pretty much by accident. Ive accidentally written a full half a book while taking a break from my main series. Now i need to finish both :)

Things You Can Make ChatGPT Write for You - Hayley DeRoche Your last words But before them What to murmur to a lover in bed What to say in the group chat when someone's Sister mother brother is dead and The apology you could never quite get right for a friend And hell why not make the robot compose your proposal Your wedding toast, too Your best friend's birthday roast You could ask it to write a custom lullaby For the baby snuffling at your breast. You can cradle to grave away Every warm human word You could ever have said And when they chisel your gravestone For your final rest We can ask ChatGPT Because it knew you best

Love it 🙌

I love this, she looks great!

Call me old fashioned, but I always believed the jokes, rather than the aesthetics, were the most important part of the sitcom.

Me to. I assumed she was rich, but down to earth enough to still do all her own house work.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

Halfway through writers month and I edited out more than I’ve written new. While I’ve made great strides with book 2, the negative words per day is getting me down.

I love all of these.

This creature was a boss in one of the AT computer games, and it was fun getting its weird dialogue again.
