I decided to write for #HappyGoose #SomethingEveryday today. And in my own #Sonnet form too, trying out different placements of that third refrain. #Quonnet #MeyersoneanSonnet #Goose

The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
Reflected in the waters of the lake
Would cause even the toughest beast to quake
As comes the armoured fowl, Aspartagoose

With leafy spear tucked beneath its wing,
(A stalk of iron hard asparagus)
The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
Will serve as all its victims' last warning

So should that ever fall into your sight,
The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
You ought to run, or else prepare to loose
At least a dozen fingers in the fight.

The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
As comes the armoured fowl, Aspartagoose.

Gentle buzzing rings
Through silence, once so sublime
Wait to feel the sting.

Still can't see a thing,
Could just be a fly this time...
Gentle buzzing rings

There it is, a glimpse.
Black and yellow warning signs
Wait to feel the sting

Now, panic rising
Up the windowpane it climbs
Gentle buzzing rings

Incessant humming
Echoes through my aching mind
Wait to feel the sting

Gentle buzzing rings,
Still anticipating crimes
Wait to feel the sting
Nothing comes, it seems that I'm
Afraid of hoverflies...

Took me a while, but I figured something out for Elcarabae (Although again, my spelling shall shift in future.) A two headed deer cryptid, part elk, part caribou, all love!!! #SillySeptember #Elcarabae #poem #poetry #fantasy #cryptid #amwriting #sonnet

No greater symbol could there be for love
Than of the mighty deer, Elcarabae.
Part doe, part stag, two heads both held above
One body, in affectionate display.

They say that distance makes the heart grow fond
Yet never could there be a love more true
Their life would meet its end before their bond
For just one heart is shared between the two.

The first sight seen each morning at sunrise
And last before they slumber every night
Will be each other, always side by side
And happy so, those heads of left and right

For he wants only to be close to her
And she could never love any other.

@emteepoetry.bsky.social My #PromptCombo #Personified entry. This is the Personification of Death in Pandea (the world where all my cryptid creations are from) #poetry #amwriting #fantasy #death

The bards have passed its ancient name
From tongue to tongue across the years
The myth, the legend that became
The source of all our greatest fears
Whenever Grief would raise its head,
Or Sadness come to visit us
They rode, or so the stories said,
Upon the back of Mortivus.
Its face, a bleached and withered corpse,
Which wore its mane as matted cloak
The guise it chose, a spectral horse,
That rhymed with every line it spoke.
Four legs cut off before the hooves
On which it gallops through thin air,
The end of life is its to choose
If death calls, Mortivus is there.
One sight that always sparks alarm,
Its visage marks the end of days.
Beneath its scythe like centaur arms
Mortality will have its prey.

Allow me to introduce what the word #Barrash conjured in my mind... (Though I might change it to Baarash in future versions) #poetry #SillySeptember #nonsense #fantasy #sheep

Way up among the stones that peak
Pandea's mountain finger
There lives a herd of black wooled sheep
That feast on bark and timber.
They like their lunches black and charred
Burned right down to the cinders,
Perhaps these dining habits are
What fuels their fiery tempers.

They crash against the mountain stones
In ceaseless bouts of anger
With horns of thick and twisted bone
Creating sparks and embers
Then watch as all around's engulfed
In flames, to sate their rancour
Beneath their fire retardant coat
The watch the pyro splendour

So prized among the tribes of men
The pride of every hunter
To catch a healthy specimen
A Baarash to turn into
A woolly heat proof winter vest
Or pair of fire pit mittens
And as a bonus also get
Some fine, pre-roasted mutton

And since #SomethingEveryday today is #numbers I thought I'd share this here #sestina I wrote whilst teaching Maths to secondary school kids... #maths #poetry #poem #amwriting #blueskypoetry

$One of life's most important skills Is finding the hypotenuse of a triangle, Using Pythagoras to define X. The sum of the square; barrage of numbers As decimals, digits, or fractions; All for the purpose of nothing. Complex maths means nothing To those who never use those skills; Anything past basic fractions, Or how many sides make a triangle Is pointless, to those for whom X Will never be used as a number. And though it's cool that any number Multiplied by zero is nothing; Defining the value of X Is a valueless skill For those outside of finance, fractions, Or reinventing the triangle. I'm sick of seeing Triangles; Hypotenuse of mystery numbers, What's the point of simplifying fractions When google will do it for nothing On those rare times you need the skill; Hey Alexa, three X is twelve, what's X? If the number of fucks I have is X; (Especially pertaining to triangles,) It doesn't take a lot of skill To work out that any number Multiplied by X would be nothing, Not even worth writing as a fraction. Who even needs to use fractions? Except for dividing pizzas by X; (X is four; you can't divide by nothing,) And cutting it to perfect triangles Befitting whatever number. Cutting pizzas; Now that's a useful skill. Maths is full of skills; you only use a fraction. I don't care what number you give to X, And triangles are good for almost nothing$

@ Ive written a piece for #SomethingEveryday #Booka. Not quite sure how well it works... But here we go. (I wanted to fit #Wurb in too, but failed on that front 🤣)

At night, when all the doors are closed
And lights off at the library
Then anyone who passes by;
If they should listen carefully,
May hear a muffled chewing sound
To spark their curiosity.

And should they find their way inside
Past window bars, and bolted doors
That inquisitve passer by
Might not believe quite what they saw
With books in piles upon the ground,
Their pages strwn across the floor.

And in-between the shelves wud crawl
Round half a dozen Gastrobib
(A large, nocturnal, purple wrm
That had, between the rafters hid.)
Who'd tare thru pages, word by wrd
Devouring letters as they did

nd evry book they came acros
Thy'd pres the papr to ther face
Thn suc the ink frm of the page
All leters gon
withou a trace

#SillySeptember #Quangy Another nonsensical fantasy creature Allow me to introduce the musical, toadlike Tumbadoad #poetry #poem #amwriting

'Twas early morning as a breeze
Bazundered down the river's edge
To part a curtain in the reeds
And set a stage inside the hedge.
Then not much later (still pre-noon)
When ploddling along the road,
Inflated, like a green balloon,
The bulbous form of Tumbadoad
Layed eyes on those unlikely flats,
And leapt with grace across the boards
By twelve and audience was sat
To watch, in rapturous applause.
Then once the sun had climbed the sky
The Tumbadoad drew gustrous breath
Its belly swelled ten times in size
So large its skin could barely stretch
Across it's ever growing gut,
Then from its back, two craters rose
Through which the captured air all rushed
And blarted out a #quangy tone.
The Tumbadoad was skyward launched,
Propelled across the atmosphere
Until, at last the outburst staunched.
Stick thin, it fell. Engulfed by cheers.
