That sun keeps doing its thing. Thanks, sun!

We play tested my 1-page TTRPG yesterday & I learned that my opponents were underpowered. Also, I need to cut some lines for brevity & add stuff for balance. He liked the setting & scenarios. It helps having input from someone with a lot of TTRPG experience.

My favorite episode of Midsomer Murders has this plot, except they titled it Ring Out Your Dead & it is so bonkers.

An old piece I had posted during my early days on Threads. Sharing for #vss365 #island #Oulens #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #poetry #BlueskyPoetry
I am an island exploded
into many — scattered
& constellated 
archipelago —
in a sea of weathered soul. 
There’s this one, monumental —
once home to an abode;
a few full of species — Darwin’s finches, 
some yet to be explored;
a few laid bare — an exhibit of stones;
and those tiny dear ones, 
one wouldn’t really care…
Some you touched. 
Some drew your stare.
Some that you sneered at,
and the one 
that scares you off.

A hawk swooped down over my car on Saturday, very dramatic. Also, my relative liked the poem. I told him that as a Kaiju-Oklahoman, it was helpful to write it.
