The #ink I write with
is magic ink. It can
conjure up moments
of beauty, joy, solace
and calm. It can anchor
memories in time &
space & it can help
me understand.
This ink I write with
is magic ink.

It's ten past ten!
Look at the #clock
and how it reminds us
to start and end
each day with a smile
and to go through
each day kindly,
even if time
presses us on.

In my #office, just
opposite my desk,
hangs a poster of
a lavender field.
Every time, work
becomes exhausting,
I dream myself into
that sunny picture.
One day, I hope to
wake up in that sunny
field, looking at a picture
of an empty office.

What happens to the poem
after we have read,
what to the song after
we have sung it? Do we
confine it to our memory
or straight into oblivion?
Does it linger & make us #quiver
with excitement or with tears?
Do we whisper it into the wind,
who softly carries it away?

I saw a #naked idea
standing outside
in the snow, shivering.
I took it in, gave it
warm clothes &
nurtured it, so one day
it can grow into
an inspiring idea.

The swet whisper of the #WaterfallSong
sings of the world behind the watery veil,
where there is an enternal spring & fairies
are flying from tree to tree, noshing on
the honey made from our old mistakes.
Some pople will only see the stonewall
behind the water, but they can only look,
but not see.

The police are investigating
the case of the stolen metaphors.
A #detective has confiscated
all the lines in this poem &
asked if I can prove that
I wrote it myself.
I have declined to answer
until my attorney arrives.

Just like the moon,
my dreams wax & #wane,
turning from sweet to sour
to bittersweet to crazy -
one night, my literary mentor
tried to eat me -
that wasn't fun.
The other night, I incidentally
met one of my mutuals
from across the ocean -
that was nice.

Don't read the news.
Read fairytales.
Don't write file notes.
Write poems.
Don't burn books.
Burn bank statements.
Don't trust billionaires.
Trust your inner voice.

I was born in the snow.
Two warm hands, quickly
becoming cold, formed me
& gave me my eyes, nose
& top hat. Here I stand now,
keeping my cold vigil,
counting snow flakes &
making passer-bys smile.

Why does my alarm clock
always ring at the #cusp
of a dream? I was ready
to be crowned King of the
Penguins ( a constitutional
monarchy of course), receive
the Nobel Price for Nonsense
or go into a guitar battle well-tuned.
But then thunder strikes
& somebody pulls away my blanket.

I normally leave the house at 5 a.m. to go work & mostly, especially at this time of year, the streets are empty then

Somehow, this still worked as a prompt & inspired me to write these naive words - maybe not very original, but the best I can do at the moment.

Do you remember the #enchanted winter
when the fernfrost wrote incantations
on our windows? You wore your Red Riding Hood
cap & I was your Big Bad Wolf, ready to eat
the chalk out of your hand. I feared the day
my kiss would turn you into a dove & you'd fly
away, but so far, it hasn't come

I slipped & fell, but
didn't hit the ground.
Instead, I dove in like
into water. On the other
side, I fell from the ceiling,
crashlanding on my bed.
When I checked
my watch, I found it was
only 10 min after I'd went
to bed, which leaves me
with some questions, like
Why do I wear my boots in bed?

I made a playlist
of all the things you were never
supposed to hear, like
your Mom's last breath,
your Granny's screams, when she
got the news or your Dad & stepmom
making love. I know, you never wanted
to hear them again, but I'll play it
for you at random from time to time.
Sincerely, your Head
