Pretty low bar for me
Finding #harmony
The way paved
With #stones
Thrown my way
You could've mailed them
With a #stamp
My name in bold letters
And I still would've
Missed the point
Anger being nothing
To a mind raging
Out of control
In silence

They've done worse, but it is very unprofessional.

I didn't even get that because we work out of the office fully. They just removed my access to the scheduling app. 🀷 Nothing said. No text, email, note,...nothing.

Yes, I signed a contract. They removed me from the scheduling app but no one has contacted me in any way. 🀷

I'm not upset about it. I'm still employed and earning money otherwise, but just thought someone might have a word...

When you cease employment with a company, there should be some formality to it, right? One party or the other should give notice, right??

Dylan was as unstoppable as #lightning and just as dangerous as he stormed through the Fleet HQ, searching for the idiot that had made the call.

The Antilles had limped home, half his crew injured, too many dead, and he wanted to know where they had got their intel from, if they had any.

Lightning Nature GIF ALT: Lightning Nature GIF

The thunderclouds,
O’er desert land
Make masterpiece
Cross sky

Heat #lightning adds
Bright artistry
That draws
The watcher’s eye

But then it is
The thunderclap
That has
Near final word…

Before the sky
Releases rain
Like flock
Of angry birds

The sea witch scrutinized the bird on the pirate’s shoulder. β€œYou… you’ve hidden the Kraken’s Key, in your seagull?!”

He tipped his tricorn hat. β€œUm, arrr, well—”

β€œThat’s ingenious!”

β€œIt’s not that atoll!”

β€œWhat?”

β€œYar! β€˜E thought it was a french fry!”

The rumbling thunder shook the house. Sheets of rain pelted the windows. She held her breath, shivering on the kitchen floor, knife in hand, tears rolling down her cheeks. She knew she’d seen someone inside. A big crack of #lightning lit up the room. There he was, standing directly over her. #vss365

the vibrant spark dwindled to ember remembrances, like the throes of a distant #lightning storm, or the redolence of a flower pressed into beloved poetry. my #skin is stilled, no longer #jolted to life by the thought of her; like a stare burns thru faraway memories

You’re a little bit of #lightning
At the back of my mind
Giving my blood hiccups
Everytime I have a flashback

My heart jolted by little hammers
Pumps my inner red ink into words
Spilling onto pages & screens
The good bad sometimes funny
& sure as hell ugly too

Kind of wish I'd paid more attention. I was absorbed in piano competitions back then. Golf was my relaxing on the weekend.

Newly #spellbound he
Hopped thru Manhatten until
He reached the park zoo

There he met a frog
Spellbound too who asked him why
He was hopping so

He explained as he looked
At his only leg it was
All he knew to do

The frog said
Put down your other
Leg or fly

Why didn't I know how much pro golfers can earn?

I grew up playing and was damn good. You would've thought my dad would've suggested going pro to me since he was one... 🀷

Were women pros not a thing back in the 80's?

It's odd.

My dad has been dead for 10 years now.

I can't often hear his voice, but when anything related to Louisiana comes up, food or place names, its my dad's voice I hear them in.

Not sure why that's the place he loved, but that really is the place he loved.

If we #attempt
To view a #slice
Of life a long time ago
"In a galaxy far far away"
We find climate
And temperatures
On varying worlds
Had no dependence
With distance
To a sun

Let me paint the sky
A #magnanimous blue
With words that won’t make you cry
For more than a few
The heavens may wish to pry
But like morning dew
They’ll disappear with a content sigh
& I’ll continue to paint the night sky

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

I crawled
Inside my #shell
Waiting for a world
That was quieter
Softer
But everyone
Poked me
With a stick
To see me
Unfurled
Except for you

You crawled
Inside my shell
With me

So I ran away
