This morning I am parent to my furious umbrella, coaxing with raindrops from my night pocket and promising it a wild release around the next corner but fearful for its future if I do

Cheerful old man is windswept and grey bearded dressed in blue denim shirt and brown peacoat.

Oh gosh. That’s such a lovely thing to say. Thank you

This morning I’m a door that’s closing soon and the sight of a low and distant moon. I’m the wish on a star in the middle of the day and a blue dress sky so far away

Old man photo again. Blue trench coat and bearded smile.

She never saw why something could not be. Another reason he loved her.

This morning I am the light on the road, the piper in the street. I’m the song to mark moments that you hear when we meet

Dog Story - part 6 A shocking turn of events

An inky black, yet golden eagle swoops down from the sky and grabs our hero the pup between its talons, flying up up up as the pup sadly watches the scroll falling back down to earth

Honestly. What is even going on?

This morning my body is creaking like a house full of ghosts keep forgetting something in the other room

Can we change “exactly” to “zactly” now please? It’s just the better word

This morning I’m the rain on the tongue, the breeze on the skin, I’m the touch before taste and the moment I’m in. I’m the scatter of light from panicked flight but I’m reaching for sky in the middle of the night

A study in pigeon Here’s a poem - full text in the alt. Like and share and follow and all that x

A study in pigeon
The pigeons are snoring
though they look awake–
going about their lives,
pressing all the buttons
to keep the pavements working,
moving out of the way of anything
with bigger shoes than theirs.

What do they know of looking up?
Of retiring to the country?
Of pheasant, peacock, swift or swan?
Of singing, or being sung to, all day long?

But who knows what a pigeon knows?
Maybe grey is really a rainbow
in the muddy puddle of our eyes.

I’m really trying to think of a pun

How did they write on blackboards back then?!?!

And, bonus fact, nanoplankton are one of two organisms which produce 90% of the oxygen we breathe.

Today I learned that chalk didn’t exist until the Triassic. And that’s because chalk is really a fossil called coccolithophores which is a type of nanoplankton. There are probably more coccolithophores on earth than there are stars in the observable universe.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

Tomorrow is #worldteachersday, but every single day of every single term, teachers have to be so much more than teachers. Thank you.

This morning I am a sock on a stair, rain barely there, a back light glare and where is the morning, where is the sun

Hey folks. Here’s a poem and if you like it then let me know. Full text in the alt x

Escape
Nobody remembers the first time
they saw the sun wave at them
from a rainbow, heard a songbird
make the meadow weep dewdrops
at daybreak, touched the wave
the ocean had made only for them,
tasted a snowflake from heaven’s plate,
or held the wind in their mouth
like a cloud’s kiss.

Why can’t we remember
such ordinary things,
and are we looking for them
in someone else?

I love her illustrations for that. I think Tolkien hated them but I totally get what she did
