The sight of the food flooded Natann's mouth with saliva and he had to swallow before he could speak. He began to relate what the patrol had found, prompted by Torslin's brusque questions. The memory of the fal-worms took away the desire to eat. #vss365

And the moon has her own schedule, the Librarian said. She is neither early nor late. How prompt she is to chase the sun. The new year has already begun. Happy New Year, everyone! #vss365 #prompt

Presto! I sawed the evening in half but couldn’t put it together again, then pulled a rabbi out of a hat— that too didn’t seem right- made a wand disappear… behind my sofa- I can’t quite reach it, my arms stuck in my jacket- my magic is out there, just not under a red cup.

I walk the schism between life and death, said the little ghost Belle. It can be a fine line, or a wide grey road. But I'm glad I'm not alone. #vss365 #schism

A smile as wide as the ocean ferries the storm-rocked in dinghies to port I walk down a road that curves like a smile and tells me meaning is in the gait The sky trades me one smile for all the fumbles in my life without a dark regret #sedserio #TankaThursday #poetrylovers

#vss365 I found the photograph album in a charity shop, it's faded, dog eared cover testament to it's age. Who were these people I wondered looking at the memories and #reflections of lives once lived. Lives which might very well be lived again through words written by me.

I think of the roads that led to this point of existence raindrops on the balcony the lake in the distance with a few years left to get ready for that ride across the universe not knowing where the sky will end or who will greet me with a question #sedserio #poetry

in a winter garden the moon and insects sing a delicate thread of connection Basho

"So, Mom, what's new?" "I walked in on your dad and a butterfly-ling." "He's been cocooned? "Yes. He's going to dissolve and reform soon, and then he'll start a new life with his butterfly lover." "Are you ok?" #satsplat #scifisat

Where is the fine line, where is the wide grey road? said the baby badgers. Are we there yet? They started pushing and fighting. Show some decorum, said the mother badger. The path keeps changing. Let's be kind to each other along the way. #vss365 #decorum

If she had watched more carefully, she would have known what to expect from her first birth-song. She had tried asking Ussu when her sister had told her she was pregnant. "If you were normal I wouldn't need to tell you." #SciFiFri
