K writes…while smothered in cats

This is a macro nature photo I took of blueberries blooming. A green stem angles in from the upper-right corner and places the blossoms at the mid-left side. There's a cluster of five pink buds in the center and three white bell-shaped blooms surrounding them. In the blue-green background, the bokeh holds another cluster of bright pink buds to the upper-left. Winter heals many wounds. Some of us think of hibernation as a hindrance, a stifling of progress, or a forced rest. But what happens when we take the time our bodies need to recover? We heal. For those of us with chronic illness, which is not an injury but a state we navigate daily, healing becomes a circle, not a line with a beginning and an end. We all carry these bruises, whether visible or internal, and it's important to acknowledge that we're each doing our best. I wish you all deep healing and comfort. This thought inspired my latest senryu: crush of black and blueberries the bruises we heal

#dailyHaikuPrompt “laughter/plow"

her laugh plows through my
white picket defenses-breathless
making me reckless.

@jorjafox.bsky.social thanks for sharing this! I’ve gotten really into this album. What a voice! 😍

I love the Monterey bay aquarium. Haven’t been there in way too long.
Thanks for sharing.

Jellyfish…the lava lamps of the sea.
So delightfully weird. Mesmerizing.

Stan Prokopenko and the Kangaroo-fetus Monster  Sharing your failed attempts isn’t cringe, it’s generous.

Yet another post!

About mutant sheep and kangaroo monsters, “bad” art and staying at least kinda sane-ish while trying to do “the artist thing"
oh, and as always: 100% guaranteed too unhinged to be written by AI.

Thank you, you are absolutely right! I need that reminder often.
And I hope you do the same. 🩷

#dailyHaikuPrompt Orchid Catkin

Orchid blooming pink
unfurling, purple, yearning
for touch a soft as...

catkin fluff, tickling-
on a soft breeze she’s trembling
all syrup and sweet.

#dailyHaikuPrompt New Moon/Willow Leaves

Darkness stole the moon
to let her be reborn: new
Now, in this moonless

night, willow weeps green
tears, elongated leaves like
spears cascading down.

Thanks!
I’ve been considering selling some art on there. Maybe even some art courses. We’ll see.
and I hear you: I know for me a few kind words and support here and there really help me keep going.
and the artists and the activists HAVE to keep going right now! it’s so important…but it’s hard.

just donated to this cool thing…and you should too...
because it feels good to donate to cool things.
and I need things that feel good right now, don’t you?
exactly.

#DailyHaikuPrompt “Morning/evening”

Morning wakes wearing
a gossamer gown of golds
blushing pinks and pale-

Blue jeans she wears by
evening. Soon she’ll slip into
indigo sequins.

Gloves back on. Back in the ring. On drumming, grief, and medicine. Finally! A new post!

open.substack.com/pub/chronica...

New post!

🙏❤️

Lovely. Thank you.
(I love it when they come in for a water landing like that. 😆🦆)

Gross gross gross 🤢
Wtf is wrong with these people??

He’s not. Whew! Gorgeous song.

Growing up before having immediate access to millions of songs, it still blows my mind that I can listen to an obscure Nina Simone live recording and follow it with Motörhead.
Back in the day, I’d have to go to Second Spin every weekend and blow my paycheck 😆

Nice. I was lucky enough to see them WAY back in the day. Great show. 🤘🏼

This is the kind of story that makes me want to hide in a hole, rather than write for the public.
I own the REAL anti-planner and love it. Got a copy for my mom too.
Support indie creators!

Finally broke my neck when I tripped over him, no doubt.

I love this.

So true. I hate having to tape my arms back on. 😂
