I know we don't really need to add to our menagerie, but surely Tweavelet is a mouse?

Home was marshy #creek and itching reed, where wind sings sharply; sour and bleat of lambing spring; a sky brittle as leaden window.

Crew call her #tweavelet—claim ancient babble defunct on their new city vessel. Then drown in her moonshine like starving eels.

My first neologism "tweavelet", kindly hoarded with some other splendid words in the back of Landmarks by Robert Macfarlane (2015), began life here...

Small things that are everything. https://seasonalight.com/2014/01/30/small-things-that-are-everything/

At last the waters subsided.
The river drifted in sedentary solitude. Sun slanted through coppery clouds and the air was heavy with petrichor.
At the riverbank, flotsam gathered and curled into a #tweavelet a tiny dormouse slumbered.
Oblivious. Safe in dreams.

Deer creek

hair done,
door open and

I never forget anything,
either—

the intense quiets of an air bnb,
snag tights and mid-range cologne

spiral
round my ankles in tweavelets.

Wishing a good Saturday to you.

Are you ready for a fresh #LandmarksVSS #prompt?

I thought so 🤣

This week, we have...

#tweavelet - small leaf bundles snagged around river twigs after a flood (poetic)

Hope you leave small bundles of words for me to read!

#WritingCommmunity

there we are

between our first kiss and big promises, those tweavelet days that spun us dizzy

here we are still

whisked away skywards on our own breezes, not falling in love but

flying
