Quill of Mnemosyne

What a brilliant anthem!
Love this!!

Now out of my shell

Confidence radiates out

No need for armor

🤣🤣🤣
Poor hedgehog

A crunch of bones
And a familiar chime
Sonic was not fast enough
To get Charon’s coins

🤣 oh man, I was getting slightly worried about how cannibalistic this was getting, and that last line had me laughing my head off!

🤣🤣🤣
I did wonder where the fish fit in

🫂

This is a little more morbid than I seem to remember 🤣
Also... a troll with a machine gun just gives me visions of warhammer 40k...
(I don't know if they have trolls there... but it seems like they might...)

Youngest goat
On my bridge
Tea time troll

Billy goat
On my bridge
Kill, chew, crunch

Oldest goat
On my bridge
MACHINE GUN

Glad you like it!

Wow,
This really increases the impact of that crunch!
Nice piece!

Crunch

Autumn speaks
in the small collapse of things—
leaf ribs giving way
beneath a careless step.

The earth keeps a record
of every ending
in that brittle sound,

a quiet applause
for the long work of letting go. 🍂

Well, it's a fantastic twist.

Freedom starts at the foot of my bed. It could just as well start at the other end of the world. The raven flies through the room and lands on the head of my prison made from blankets, and pillows. This foul fowl is staring at my eyes as if they were precious pieces of jewellery to steal. Her enchanting voice echoes through the cave not found on any map, alluding to what once was love, when she calls me 'honey' with aculeate aggressions. Cold mornings still sting. A seasonal sensuality that matches the sharp intake of poisoned honey she forces down my throat, every day. Enough to make my intestines scream, but not enough to end this torture. I hear sand crunch beneath her steps, as she circles in on me. Something shiny flashes in the candlelight. If I only was strong enough to move. Instead, her merciless retribution slowly washes over me, each steady wave carrying me closer to my grave. I have no idea if there will ever bee a chance to get out of this. My eyes wander to the empty suitcase to my left. Probably not alive. Her athamé cuts through the skin on my chest like a quill that scratches over paper. I can't even scream, any more, as my blood starts flowing onto the sheets. Just like my tears. My gaze turns to the tiny floret growing inside a dark nook above me. I don't know how it can survive here. It might be the last thing I'll ever see. I shouldn't have forced myself on her, that night...

Haunting!
Although this piece about Kafmic retribution is extremely satisfying.

👏👏👏

#Heavy is the step that feels the
#Crunch of a million small leaves
Littering the soil on this day-
When Wynter craves to be brave.

🤣 I thought it was a good word for something thudding into the floor like a missile

Wonderful piece!
The full yearlong life of the nymphs Captured brilliantly!

True

Oh right.
I use this as a basic standard then...
Most of what I have classified as 'free verse' or at least unstructured poetry that I have written, is actually an ode...

I guess they can.
Dave's looks more happy than the cartoon did 😂 the cartoon always lookd a little stressed

🤣🤣
I was this close to making that reference 👌 but you did it for me 🤣🤣🤣

Dave! You're... you're not a cartoon????!!!???

Rhyming ode structure is it?
Ah, so that's what I'm using.... mostly... for my nonsense.

This is the shortest one I've done so far. But most of them use the same rhythm and rhyme structure

A twinkle underneath a hedge Provoked a sudden dartic dash As Aerikleptes nimbly sped In downward dive to seek the flash With wings drawn tight, and sharpened beak Like missile pointed to the shine It shavooked down, a deadly streak Stuck in unstoppable decline BADUKE! It thudded to the floor And poked its head beneath the bush A diamond ring; the shimmers source, Was claimed, and between feathers pushed. Then Aerikleptes' beady eyes Flicked round to check it was unwatched, It double checked its jewelry prize Stretched out its wings, and fluttered off.

Today's helping of Fantasy Nonsense was inspired by #vss365 #jewelry
(And if course by magpies, which Aerikleptes is heavily based.)

If only it was. Love would be far less scary

Oh No!!!
Well what a cut that was!
Masterful haiku! 👏👏👏
