@lauraritchie it’s hard to let go of the stuff and still hold on to the memories the stuff represents ...

@artsyhonker Ok. No pressure. Take care and have a great day

@tellio @wentale

Always

Always
written.
Strewn
and mind driven.

#letterreductionpoem as #smallpoems response response response :)

@artsyhonker Yeah! Great idea ...

@Algot

play -
and I am
definitely
OK
with that,
I'm finding time
in my mind,
to get away ...
if not tomorrow
then
today

#smallpoems response (we still have leaves, too, and possible snow in the coming days .. dang it)

@snoothy @alx Sort of true (mostly nonfic, small looks at life's moments) but there are no rules or requirements or secret handshakes because no one owns a hashtag. :) Some folks are sharing short fiction on the tag. #smallstories Welcome.

@wentale

Words
scattered,
leaves
in the wind.
To reach
them
all
would be
to write
the stories,
scratched
tongues on
cut
paper.

He sighed, looked out the window. "Mr. H," he called out. "It's so dark out there!"
I walked over. We both stared at the afternoon. Indeed, the combination of shortening days and dreary rain had made 3:15 p.m. seem like evening.
Here was a kid who barely bottles his energy to attend to learning. He was ready to run.
I started to explain the Winter Solstice. He didn't want to hear the science of it. The bell sounded.
"We need more sunshine!" he shouted, as he darted away, gone.

"Still, anyways, you should try."
"Why?"
The old man paused. "My future self was a know-it-all who didn't know-it-all," he explained, with a guffaw. "Best to ignore what might happen and go on ahead with what will happen."
The old man winked at me.
"When I was your age, I remember thinking what you're thinking. It may not work out, but go on ... give it a try."
So, you know, I did. I followed the advice of my future self ignoring his future self.

She always warned him not to leave the plug in. He figured she just said that ... to, well, say that. Still, day after day, he listened. He obeyed. He pulled the plug out. Until the day he didn't. Why, you might wonder? What was it about this particular day? Nothing special, he would tell you. Just ... well ... what would happen? Really? It's not as if the world would fall apart if the plug was in when they were out. Right? He found out hard way that she was right. Always had been.

... for each

caught
in these
outstretched
hands,
there is
likely another
shadow idea
lost
somewhere
in mid-flight
wandering ...

The #MusicCollab spirit is what makes the potential of Mastodon special, I think ... an invitation in the stream ... shared interests ... collaborations ... a gathering together ... support for each other ... sharing out ....

I suspect it could be a nice model for other collaborations ... in the same vein as Kintsugi Journal does with writing and art here ...
