Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

Sentinel

Marked
as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
my rocky soil, my withered grass
lays prey to the empty sky.

Lyn's a sly fox: The Rock always remembers until even it is worn away by wind and water, reduced to grains of sand.

As a child I felt safe alone in my summer-garden or winter-closet. I would have envied Harry Potter's nook under the stairs.

I have good night-vision. I see the hundred shades of black and grey.

Fortunately, I live in a world of a thousand colors by day.

Will this castle bring her peace? you peace? me peace?

I miss the pitter=patter of little feet. Sometimes the loss overwhelms so much seek solitude in a place where darkness can only reside.

I wonder if you reside in the darkness too when I read your comments.

In response to ""No Gift From Santa This Year" D22 #17 40w 'poverty'"

Anni Pon Perhaps overdone on the references. Glad you picked up on 'venison'. 40 words makes it tight.

I was homeless years after I took in refugees. Folks did help me. Maybe that thought was lurking in the back of my mind. "Homeless" is a deadly label in so many ways. I left Kansas for Montana in 2008 because I wanted to start anew.

In response to ""No Gift From Santa This Year" D22 #17 40w 'poverty'"

I love this idea, and all the references and imagery. Especially the line: ‘Poverty was a red-nosed light-bulb flashing "homeless”…’ it’s really tragic to think of the jolly man who gives everyone gifts every year in such dire straits he has to eat his rain deer, and no one would help him….

Fun piece.

Called to mind The Beatles number.

In response to "Hidden places [13+] P#3"

Apondia Definite loss of habitat in Thailand. Elephants have a hard time as do 100 species of birds. Humans tend to not know what they have until it's all gone. Very anthrocentric.

I've read about the monkey problems in India and a couple other countries. I also read about loss of habitat as causes.

Wordsmitty ✍️ LOPBURI MONKEY BANQUET FESTIVAL... be there! End of November. They set a buffet in honor of the macaques that lure the tourists into town.

Maybe I should go this year?

Yep, I'm annoying.

2nd entry for

Prompt #6. Today you are annoying, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is more likely to get sucker punched in the face by me than you. Lenox

Did I fail to mention that I don't like pank?

Too bad.

I'm annoying. One can argue whether my personality is ENFP or INFP, whether I'm Ron Weasley or Luna Lovegood, or whether I belong in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw (I'm a Hufflepuff).

Some people find me inspiring! intelligent! friendly! engaging!

Let me tell you like it is ... I'm annoying.

I'm geeky like Luna. I really don't fit in. I know a little about a lot of things. I see connections but can't always adequately demonstrate them to others. I've been known to lose myself in dreams. I can be as quiet as a rainbow no one else can taste.

I'm scattered like Ron. Somedays ... most days ... I'm easily distracted. And I'm passionate, oft times speaking before I think. Oh, when I travel? I've been known to barge in. But I'm not always certain that I should and sometimes I slink away.

Believe me, this is NOT charming. Few people point it out because they are truly nice people who would rather not offend.

But at times when I'm chatty I can read what's unspoken: GO AWAY! STFU!

I don't know that I've been sucker-punched, but I've been bashed. At least three times that come to mind.

I do try to tone myself down. It just doesn't always work out that way.

And I'm not about to change.
