Thank you, kindly!

If i were we
Then us would be
Holding hands
So lovingly
As we drifted
#Undersea

#vss365 #WritingCommunity #halfbadpoetry #taketwo

Dive dive
down down under
til there's very little Sun there
Fill our days with waves and wonder
Out in the salish sea

Deep deep
pressure growing
cold cold
currents flowing
Hey, look, that fish is glowing
Out in the Salish Sea

Old manual typewriter

My weapon of choice for the revolution.

3 seconds before the 5 year old knocks...

Oily and unctuous
Big men at lunches
Plotting their meals away

Getting rambunctious
Thrown sucker punches
Their bill,
but we all get to pay

#halfbadpoetry

#Trickery flickery truth
Uncouth youth snickery
Snide pride fickle trickle
Try try pies for lies
Try try exercise
Avoid their lies
Believe your eyes
Quick quick
Surprise. Uprise.

First kick for Aunt Sylvie

As blossoms tumble
Windchimes ring out silvery
Portening Spring rain

No #investiture is needed
No robes to drape
No horns to play
No high office to be given
But still
Let us set the record straight
a nod of thanks i will be giving
To Chris
So (again each year) I say
Thanks Stoolie. Im off to shop
Happy Happy #recordstoreday!

Gonna roam
Far from home
Dip my ten toes
In fire and #seafoam
Slip the miles under my shoes
Walk a league
Shed these blues.

Shed building with Guillermo
Comedic contractor
Scrap cuts signed as souvenirs
Heaviest #hammer dubbed "The Persuader"
Each nail driven home
with wisdom.

Just hoping the agents currently looking at the "big work" feel the same....

Thank you kindly! Ive pondered giving that one another go. As to 100 ft, all i can say keep trying. My record is 2 accepted, 1 shortlisted and at least 10 quickly rejected...

Love these drabbles. You should totally submit a few. These 100 ft crow folks are lovely to work with.

Nothing like living on an island for gossip. #Word spreads so fast you can sneeze in your living room and get a bless you in the market.

#vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

Read it fast
Read it slow
This weeks drabble
Is good to go.

(And I see they're open for submissions. Do it!)

I taught both ways, because not all children are alike, and I firmly believe the independence, not the technique is what matters.

So...

Yep, one #loop or two, either way will get the shoe tied. Oh, and no velcro. And while we're at it, yes to cursive....

#vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry

I need some better #letters
These 26 wont do
No matter how I line em up
They wont get through to you

Here, we tend towards flood. Either is a good(?) reminder

Saw on the news
Were due
100 days of rain
Will it be enough
To keep the grass
Under the sidewalks green
#water to wash
The whole damn city clean
Drop by drop
Drip drop drip drop drip drop
Drip drop drip drop drip drop drip
Drop

Cherry blossom

Cherry follows plum
Blossoms ruslte in spring breeze
Waiting for the pear
