An ember burns
signing
hues of
radiance
cackling in
consequences
as an ending
or beginning.
How will you hold
your
flame?

Hi Mastodon. Hope you all are doing well. We're running on very little sleep, but we can still type coherently, so that's nice. We're planning to do more #MicroPrompts and #MastoPrompts today, if we can get to them. We've been enjoying #writing our little shorts stories. It's been really fun. We hope people that see them enjoy reading them. We would appreciate any feedbakc you have to give. We hope all you wonderful creatures of the fedi are doing well. -- Altheda/Lillianna

    You fell for me like a fly into a spider web
    You can scream as you wish
    This thirst trap of mine will be on the web
    So now make your last wish
    Praying for an escape to this web

    My tendency to hate myself
    Has too often led me
    To forget about my true inner self
    That needs love to be

    A big
    THANK YOU
    to all those who pollinate.
    Mostly insects, some birds and bats and the wind, of course.
    They catapulted this world
    into the jewelry box
    we're able to enjoy
    today.

    It's been awhile since I've written to #MastoPrompts . I've gotten myself sidetracked with life. #1 on my to-do lists!

    A tale of friendship
    Between donkey and ogre
    Until I realised, I read the word wrong
