In the place that is my own place,
whose earth
I am shaped in and must bear,
there is an old tree growing,
a great sycamore
that is a wonderful healer of itself.

Prompt for 10 March
-Rustling-
A soft sound, wind blowing through leaves or tall grass. Cloth or paper caught in motion.
From the vault: Uphold

Entry 4: #Poetry is a hungry thing. We create and consume it hot or cold. While writing this piece, my thoughts drifted to the pumpkin pie that Mama lost. It's important not to cool your pie on the porch when there's a murder watching. Sly crows.

wind — untether my thoughts
make them clouds I can
rest this weary head on
Zephyr — take my hurt
vaporise and
scatter it in drops
of water finding
their way back
to the source

It's such a horrible feeling,
The guilt of happiness.
It shouldn't exist!
Overwhelmed, I slip
deeper into my own skin
smile feels blasphemy

Swaying waves, gentle froth,
the water shimmers and sparkles.
Is it the dance of the setting sun?
The flicker and splash of scaly fishtails?
Or can she see the mermaids
as they frolic and play?

What pretty drooping weeping flowers they are:
The clipt-frilled leaves, the slender stalk they bear
On which the drooping flower hangs weeping dew,
How beautiful through April time and May
The woods look, filled with wild anemone
John Clare (1793-1864)
Languid afternoon
lifeless clouds float,
frisky kittens pouncing
on lollygagging puppies,
droning cicadas buzz
across the verge of shrubs
ruffling the stillness,
pinky fuchsias neither assent nor consent
a subtle harmony lingers in the quiet meadow.

Sultry syllables sway through my insomnia like a hung-up jukebox in a chintzy bar -- veilmotion rustling behind yellowed curtains. Why is it that I have to be an island, and can't engage? Those bricks, once serving as a defence, have now become my prison. As sleep won't come, I sift through my brain for a solution. I'm scared of love. But now, I'm even more scared of not being able to love you the way you deserve it. I wish, I'd find the harmony you need. And while I heal myself, there is another fear, I face, and I pray to fate that my tenderness won't show too late. © Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree

The Potion for What Ails the World Into the mortar I place rage ground fine as salt, a sprig of protection, three drops of truth. I boil the dark down to essence— not for vengeance, but for a world where children sleep without fear. The brew hisses blue in the cauldron. It smells like justice, like doors that finally lock behind monsters, like hands that cannot harm again. I drink. And the spell moves outward— not as murder, but as a binding. Every predator turned to stone in the light of their own exposure, every child wrapped in wards of dawn. The potion does not kill. It makes the world remember what monsters deserve. ✨

I sit alone,
sunlight pooling
across the table,
dust motes drifting
lazily in golden beams.
Thoughts wander—
faces once close,
shared Sundays,
quiet laughter,
fleeting warmth remembered.
A sudden clarity pierces:
if death arrived now,
even this fragile,
sunlit moment
would suffice.

Seasons change with time,
Rain falls and storms destroys,
But not thee lonely boat
Like thee heart.
