When I get weary, I get the Blues, too. But there's no Mississippi #Delta shining like a National Guitar* for me. Where I live, a different river flowers, opening up into the Baltic Sea. Thus, the Seagull Choir & me sing the Schwentine Delta blues. #vss365 *Paul Simon: Graceland

2/2 did he really need it? My dad doesn't even remember why he had it in the first place. Maybe it was just a prop for another of his shaggy dog stories. #FromOneLine

An etheral song lured me to the library by the sea, where they keep The Book of the Sirens. I have no choice, but to open it, although I don‘t know what will happen: Will it devour me, suck me in & make an illustration? Or will it be the beginning of my eternal service for the library by the sea?

Yes, hardly anybody would go there voluntarily (allthough my wife would say different 😉)

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. #vss365 #thingstowriteabout

#vss365 #hurricane (published January 2024 in academyoftheheartandmind.com/2024/01/08/t...
The little things we say to get us through the hurricane

Fear not, my love, it will be over soon,, the howling
has become much lower & the loose roof tiles have already
stopped their banging.

Don’t be afraid, we’re safe in this house, 
it’s solid. My greatgrandfather built it with his
own two left hands. 

I know the trash cans are racing down Main Street. 
I’ll collect them tomorrow, when it’s over. 

Look, even the trees are waving to signal that
everything is allright. One is even
caressing the roof to console the house.

Put your head on my shoulder, darling, 
I will stay with you until the storm is over, 
even if it takes days or years.

Yes, there's the clip where he sings the faster version of "They can see in the dark", but it's rather longish. But I actually can't decide, if Spike or Lumpi are cooler...

Do you remember the day we got caught in the rain and found a dry place on the #harbour ferry? Our ticket was valid for 3 hrs, so we just sat there, your head on shoulder, never moving, except for the occasional kiss. I I hope the memory does not make you sea sick. #vss365

#vss365 #lure
The whispers of the books
lured me into this old library.
But instead of new reading adventures,
the books are holding court over
their readers. If we treated them 
well or touched them with greasy 
fingers, put donkey's ears 
into their pages and far worse
crimes. I plead innocent. My
duty solicitor, a law textbook, 
gives me a good prognosis.
But my other co-defendants 
might not be so lucky...

Manche sind ein bißchen "kreativer" und stecken das Mini-Mikro an einen Schneebesen oder ähnliches. erinnert mich immer an Wigald Boning, der die Leute mit einer Spülbürste interviewte.

For todays #vss365 #nurture, here is my poem "The Gardener", published two years ago in SixPenceSociety (Does it still exist?)
The gardener

from Field Notes – for Robert Kroetsch

Although his name is not Harding, 
my father is a proper sort of gardener. 
It’s his fault that I like tomatoes, broccoli, 
cale (Grünkohl, as we say in German)
strawberries, plums, and apples. 
I asked him: How do you grow a poet?
He smiled at me whimsically
(verschmitzt, as we say in German).
It’s very simple, he said,
you take a seedling, put it
on a good basis, make it feel
welcome, water it with
love and nurture it with 
songs and stories, give it 
the space it needs. At least, that’s 
what we did with you. 
(Alles richtig gemacht, as we say in German)

The curtain stayed open long enough, so we could get a glimpse at this life's #passion play - is it a tragedy, is it a comedy? We will find out later, when the plot unfolds, before the final curtain call. #vss365

Every morning I #embark on a new adventure on the commuter train. Will it be on time? Will it go at all? Will I reach my connecting bus? & will my colleague make it on time, too? After all, she has the keys Will I be able to see the sunrise over the Kiel Kanal? So much exitement for a little frogget

The fields are black & moving. It's crow season. Beaks are shining in the sun or digging in the soil. Wings are being opened. Cawing fills the air. & when I see them from the window of my train, I am never sure whether they are having a meeting or are growing there. #FromOneLine

I can imagine both & I think especially Heinz Ehrhard would have had fun playing Gollum. I don't know too much about KISS, but I was just thinking that the guys from Monty Python would also have been an interesting choice
