We used to get mead when I was a child. Yet, I have yet to find a kind that brings back those sweet, sweet memories. #mead

Sabotaged

An autumnal breeze - flavoured with salt, fungi, and bonfires - is carrying a robin's song. It lures me to follow its story. There is courage in the rising gusts and a moment of stillness emphasizes an airless escape.

The bird lived to tell the tale.

The wind picks up and in the rising gusts, I hear something snap. Then the crescendo of a wood chipper. Finally, not only the wind is screaming, but also a human voice.

With it the wind breaks.

The silence, almost deliciously wicked, does not last long. The wind now blows straight. It swallows the words it carries. I can only sense the rhetoric of resonance. This is not alacrity. It is reason lost in the unpredictable effects of wondrous enigma.

This one claimed a life less significant than a robin's.

I stand petrified as, with a loud crash, the wind smites the third tree from the left. By now, my cosmic daydreams have left, as well.

I want to leave.
But I cannot move.

Not altogether happy with this one. Also, tags appear to be broken. #beak

Beaks

The Battle of Little Beak Horn
was not an engagement
in the war Australia lost against emus.

A duck who lies through its beak
is called a base canard.

Rictal bristles are stiff feathers
around the base of the beak,
not to be confused with the all too human
response to an oncoming colonoscopy.

Great Cthulhu sleeps in sunken R'lyeh.
gently snoring through his bill.
It is one we will all pay when he wakes,
but these aeons are too strange,
even for a Great Old One.

Beak trimming is extremely painful
and is of course carried out routinely
in intensely farmed poultry.
Even a whimsical poem about
beaks must bear witness to our
cruelty.

Renovations

A jack of all trades progresses in the macabre masquerade of our brave new world.
Where next steps are coherent with opaque reason.
Where justice is repulsed by the beak.
Where rhyme has fallen in step with insanity.

I remember this one little moment, almost too small to notice.
When bravery quietly blenched.
When skulls were ripped off of their own thoughts.
Where hearts started gleaming in wintry light - frozen.

Except for mine.
Mine was aching.
Feelings still smear over my lined face.
How dare I not be prettier?!

Grief might not be spry and I might not be able to move mountains, but at least I'm still alive.

I know this doesn't change a thing.

Tomorrow I'll plant more chrysanthemums.

Beaks the key to capturing prey, foraging, feeding. Elaborate courtship displays tap and bow, bright offering. Constructing nests from scattered twigs and branches, needed to drive jackdaws away or to pilfer what their sharp eyes capture. @sonnetsmith.bsky.social #WildWalkPrompt #beak

Out After Dark

Leaving behind countless thwarted attempts, she finally overcame her linear thinking. It had been acting up in defiance of the chaos that ruled this tricky venture.

Onyx feathers started to show on her arms as they became more flexuous.

Pleased with her outfit for the prom, she imagined herself taking flight like scorched innocence in its natural habitat. How it would be if a cloud revealed the moon, giving her a spotlight as she landed.

While she continued to stir the cauldron, this felt like a permanent arrival. She might never change back.
