My friend Klaus, an avid collector of magical objects, showed me his latest acquisition. A #jade #frame, created by Chinese magician Wan Tsu.Eevery picture you put into it comes alive. At least that's what the legend says. "But what happens, when you put an abstract painting into it?" I asked.

Several years ago, I saw a music video by a supposedly British band, called "Spillard that pint".
The video was b/w and featured people "accidentally" knocking over their glasses. I've never heard it since.
Does anybody of you lovely people know the song and could help me?

#musicsky

I may enconter dead bodies
at the state museum, where
the bog people are on display.
Leaning my head against
the #glass case, I wait for
a connection with -what?
the past? the other side?
So far, I've only connected
with the warden...

& while the teacher (me)
went through the second page
of the test together with
the other students, Dreamy
folded his first page
into a neat paper #plane,
maybe to already sent it flying
through the window & home
to his parents to show them
how well he'd done.

Thank you🙏

I hope, one day I will manage to finally finish the story....

Fortunately, this one is purely fictional...

"But how do I know that you speak the truth & this is not some Black Magic #trickery?" Sibylla asked. I pointed at the light switch. She came over to me & flipped it. The light went on. The involuntary time traveller almost fainted.

Thanks for the earworm 😉

Thank you, Meg!🙏

This was another one I had great fun writing. 💙

😅

Da hat sich anscheinend jemand im Foyerdes Arts aufgehalten 😉

Den Gedanken hab ich auch schon gehabt und, zumindest zu Beginn, auch von 1-2 Kommentaren gehört. Ist jetzt aber komplett aus der Diskussion verschwunden.

Let's #pretend
the carpet is the ocean
& we're sailing with our bed
into a better tomorrow.

Let's pretend
the sky is blue &
that's not lightning,
it's sunbeams.

Let's pretend
you're still with me
& my heart wasn't broken
into 17 pieces.

When, after some introductory words in Latin, she turned into a hydra, I knew my feelings hadn't betrayed me.

The #investiture of the new headmistress went completly different than anyone had thought.
I had already had my doubts when she announced that the ceremony was due to take place during the total eclipse of the sun.

Und will die Nadel im Heuhaufen überhaupt gefunden werden?

Yes, it really was - the picture looked like an illustration from an old fairy tale book.

🥳

Eine meiner beiden europäischen Lieblingsstädte
(die andere ist Göteborg).

It stumbled & fell.
It broke.
It lay on the floor in shards,
becoming a puzzle of
a fairy tale scene with two dwarves
& a squirrel.
& tho I never put it back
together again, I still
can't throw away
what remains of
my mothers childhood #plate

#thingstowriteabout

Meine Vermutung wäre Wien 🤔

Sounds like a case for Mulder & Scully

Good one!

That's what it says in our birth certificates

In mine:
Sectio caesarea

In hers:
born from #seafoam

A blue & white floor vase used as an umbrella stand

In the corridor stands
a blue-white floor #vase
we use it as
an umbrella stand
my friend Daniel once
called it "that ugly potty"
but I like it a lot
it's a heirloom from
my beloved & legendary
aunt Inge (who would
deserve her own book)
every time I see it, I think
of her with gratitude & love

(The first scene from a play, yet unfinished)

The edge of a forest. Thor awakes & searches for his #hammer. It is not there.

Thor: Mjölnir, come hither.

Nothing happens.

Thor: (stretching out his hand) Accio hammer.

Nothing happens.

Thor; What a bummer. I can't find my hammer.

This one is self-inflicted, because in my current #vss365 poem, I use the word "sheep crook" (which I actually learned through this song)😅
