Paper poppies–a gift of love–burned in the blood red flames of his passion. She put the ashes on her #roses. #ThingsToWriteAbout

Memory fragment::The War of the #Roses, played out by two mathematicians. One of them is dead now, 'before his time' as they say. The other one might be too, by now. A work dinner, I was there as a plus one. Some discussion. "So says the man from Ilkley". Something dismissed.

Too Particular?
A reader #asserted on Threads:
An author shouldn’t “smell,”
That this distracts her from a scene
Otherwise written well.
Re: this #subject, I must confess:
I haven’t got a clue
If I stop near some #roses, now,
What I’m supposed to DO?

Tension’s dam breaks as I whisk myself away to a distant island where wet sand molds between my toes. Relaxation, laughter, and roses turn moldy brown when the boss asserts the no day-dreaming policy and subject of my return to work.

Alluring aria of luring temptress
echoes within the damned island,
her fatal kiss seals depraved spirits fate
vindictive foxes devour their bloodied flesh,
mournful sable roses
lie across ruined cemetries
writing elegies in tandem

At last I found my lonely #island,
in a quite corner of the library,
by the window, hidden behind
the economy books, where even
I wouldn't normally go.
There's just enough room for me
& you, Miss Friday, & some
rambler #roses peeking
through the window.

I wish I had
a pot of small roses
on my windowsill
So I went out
and bought my
own flowers
Instead of waiting
for him to remember
our anniversary

Away than watch my roses
Rot into ruin.

That new #pattern #over the #portal shows you where to #strike in the event of a #hurricane but not the actual location of the portal itself.
How do you know that?
Because I’m the wizard for this area.
Ha! And I’m the Pope. Try again.

A pattern strikes where every shadow whispers doubt in my ear. I must clean the fur, yet a hurricane of incertitude cripples me over and over. Seventy is too loud, but sixty isn’t enough. Back and forth, which volume to choose?

summer is #over
but the heat still persists
holds on with a tight grip
those last afternoons
of ninety degrees
fade into sixty and chill
in these quiet mornings.

A signal in this #habitat
a water-world as clear as glass
accustomed to a human grasp
that shakes
then falls the flakes that recreates
