What if you can’t start #writing
The first tussle most of us have with writing is to write at all. We long to get going but jobs, family, health and life muscle in, sometimes for years. Even if they don’t, how do we justify writin…

Here's my effort

Eye Deceit?
Was that a flicker? Did my eye catch a glisk,
Thoughts peregrinate, am I at risk?
Nesh as I shiver, nerves prickle my skin,
Gastrolith thoughts grind, as the fear sets in.

Here's my effort

Winter's First Bite
Morriwin chews the air, blunted teeth bare,
Niveous hills horde gifts they can't share.
Feadan tries singing, persistent, alone
As grimmelings shaves the day to its bone.

Here's my attempt to use all four words

One Stray Spark
Feuillemort feathers the fickle forest floor,
Sparked by a glisk on a brief winter tour.
Surrounded by smaze, the trees cough and choke
Snirtles are stifled, a forest fire is no joke.

Here's my attempt

The Weight of the Wait
Smirr drapes the world, soaking me to the bone,
My brain knust stained as I wait, alone.
Tsundoku thrums, rising like smoke,
A new book delayed, Iktsuarpok's cruel joke.

Here's my effort

Winter Feast
As mumpers meander, voice sore with song
Père Fouettard's whip lash lingers long.
Koliada calls as the frost bites through skin,
Loosen the yule-hole, let the feasting begin.

Christmas Dinner
In vorfreude, we wallow, Christmas table aglow,
Hands guddle for trinkets, festive drinks flow.
We yaffle our way through the feast till we're done,
Sobremesa settles when tall tales are spun.

Raw Release
I cradle a fragment of yesterday,
sealed tight in shatterproof glass—
a souvenir of who I was,
before the hurt of today
sucked the breath from my lungs
and left me adrift,
yearning for tomorrow's
raw release.

Salem Songs
Bumblepuppy stumbles as frost clings to dead air,
Grizzles grow louder in the cursed central square.
Those widdershin witches defiant, headstrong
Chant cold curglaff curses at the gathering throng.

Here's my effort

The Clown
Beneath clarty clouds, a clown withdraws,
Crammelled thoughts covering cracks and flaws.
Distant quackles shake the choking gloom,
As a hikikomori hides in a hollowed room.

Here's my attempt #weekendwords #weekendpoem

Reading Retreat

i open a book,
the susurrus of pages
flusters the air.
vellichor wraps me
like a gift i'm yet to receive.

outside, the petrichor lingers,
so I succumb to
the pull of clinomania
and retreat.

Not every writing day is productive.
Some days it’s one sentence. One word. One sigh.

But it counts because you showed up. Keep showing up.

#Yoffle and slurp
a #vorfreude for
a pudding with
cherries and cream
the #sobremesa with
friends
the #guddle for a wallet
brimming with money
in a world of
overindulgence

I married a woman
not knowing
she would always #grizzle
for the rest of our married days
then with a tragedy arisen
a #bumblepuppy moment
I watched her face
with curglaff
after she plunged off a mountain
into a frozen lake

My head was caught
in a wave of nostalgia
vellichor pulling me
along the way
All those books I’d read
as a child came
back to haunt me.

Never in a rush to leave
my bedroom
clinomania clamped
in my brain
The outside world
uninviting
all my dysania
won't go away
