Poem text by Kate LaDew with an image of a gray and white paving stone with the words 'I Used To Be A  mountain' in gold lettering:

there's a paving stone

on a street in brussels
darker than the rest
one night,
someone pried it out
took it away, 
affixed a resist
to the smooth top,
sandblasted  
with abrasive grit
six words 
smoothed gold leaf
inside the grooves
then slipped the paving stone
back into the brussels street
that morning someone noticed
or maybe not
the next week someone noticed
or maybe not
the next month 
the next year 
or maybe not
one day, anyway,
a poet looked down
a line of gold catching the eye
and read
'I used to be a mountain'
the poet photographed
the paving stone
and the next day 
and the next day
and the next day
people looked down
paused their feet
and thought
of all the things they used to be, too

In traditional folklore and witchcraft, a cat's habit of sitting on thresholds, windowsills, or doorways made them natural sentinels who monitored what entered or left a space. They are creatures of liminal spaces, the betwixt and between. #FolkWitchFriday #WitchSky #Cats

The old idea of a familiar wasn't theatrical; it was domestic kinship. The yard dog guarding the gate, the porch cat watching the dusk, or the wild toad returning to the same stone step. How do the animals living alongside your home act as practical guardians and sentinels? #FolkWitchFriday

Witchcraft is not consolatory hokum. It doesn't offer tepid answers to hard questions and even harsher circumstances. It offers us relationships with the land, its spirits and ourselves. Relationships may be rough and require work, but they get us through. – #EmilyCBanting #WitchSky

how to abandon ship

clasp your hands together
renounce cowardice
decide it isn't giving up
believe it and jump
the water's colder
than anything you've ever felt
but your heart 
your heart beats so fast
you think 
you might come alive again
you think 
you might even swim

The Okefenokee’s blackwater mirror turns the world upside down. An alligator glides silently through white clouds and blue ether, suspended between heaven and peat. In the swamp, the boundary between earth and sky is only as thick as a drop of water. #SwampLifeSunday #Okefenokee #Georgia #Nature
An alligator glides across a glassy, dark swamp run that reflects the bright blue sky and white puffy clouds so clearly the reptile appears to be swimming through the sky.

A constant recommendation.
J is for …
Jansson
One of my favourite imagined places to inhabit as unhappy 
child was Moominvalley. I am still an unofficial ambassador 
for it, telling young writers I mentor that they will struggle 
to find a better constructed fictional world. I push those 
writers into reading Tove Jansson because she makes 
words dance, because she makes locations shimmer with 
a sense of nature holding within it the not-quite-real that 
may manifest at any moment. I push because she is one 
of the finest storytellers, because her imagination still 
pushes me. I hope that is all in Hookland, as no book ever 
taught me more about the power of dark absence in a text 
than Moominvalley In November. While the Moomins may 
sometimes overshadow Jansson’s stunning lines as illus
trator, the sheer fairytale menace of her early paintings, 
they cannot obscure her power to create spaces where the 
mind may walk in hope of wonder

😁 Happy Sunday to all 😁 This weeks #PoetsOfDoom is going arsey - #ArsPoetica that is! Pick your favourite poetic form and write a poem about it, in said form. Clear as mud, right? Don't worry, there's a link below and a couple of examples to help clarify! www.writersdigest.com/write-better...
On Acrostics 

A line must rise from the chosen word’s letter,  
Craft out its bones like a patient typesetter.
Rules of rhythm and clarity guide your pen,  
Organise thoughts so they brighten again.  
Showcase your thoughts, create and express,  
Take each line as your chance to impress. 
Inspiration flows when structure meets art,  
Clever acrostics reveal both form and heart.  Do Not Go Gently into a Villanelle
 
Do not go gently into a villanelle,
Its chains of rhyme bind tight the poet’s hand,
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.
 
As lines repeat, their echoes cast a spell,
A stubborn form that bows to no command.
Do not go gently into a villanelle.
 
Resist the lure of freedom’s restless swell;
Each stanza’s shape must first be wisely planned,
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.
 
The poet curses rules they know too well,
Twisting lines to meet a strict demand.
Do not go gently into a villanelle.
 
But when the pattern sings, a truth will swell,
A beauty forged from order, fierce and grand;
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.
 
Embrace the verse and let its cadence tell;
Yield to its grip and you will understand:
Do not go gently into a villanelle,
For in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.

If you can catch a hare and look into its eye, you will see the whole world… —Anna Crowe, “A Calendar of Hares” from A SECRET HISTORY OF RHUBARB (Mariscat, 2004) #BookWormSat #poem #poetry annacrowepoet.com/2021/04/21/a...
A Calendar of Hares
Anna Crowe

for Valerie Gillies

1.	At the raw end of winter
the mountain is half snow, half
dun grass. Only when snow
moves does it become a hare.

2.	If you can catch a hare
and look into its eye,
you will see the whole world.

3.	That day in March
watching two hares boxing
at the field’s edge, she felt
the child quicken.

4.	It is certain Midas never saw a hare
or he would not have lusted after gold.

5.	When the buzzard wheels
like a slow kite overhead
the hare pays out the string.

6.	The man who tells you
he has thought of everything
has forgotten the hare.

7.	The hare’s form, warm yet empty.
Stumbling upon it, he felt his heart
lurch and race beneath his ribs.

8.	Beset by fears, she became
the hare who hears
the mowers’ voices growing louder.

9.	Light as the moon’s path over the sea,
the run of the hare over the land.

10.	The birchwood a dapple
of fallen gold: a carved hare
lies in a Pictish hoard.

11.	Waking to the cry of a hare
she ran and found the child sleeping.

12.	November stiffens
into December: hare and grass
have grown a thick coat of frost.

VITAL book. I speak from personal experience. One-third of domestic violence victims don’t want to abandon their pet(s), which makes it harder to get away. Shelters rarely accept animals. (This is *gradually* changing.) Amazon links in the Alt text, if you’d like to grab a copy! #domesticviolence
