I am #afflicted
but no #blood runs
I am conflicted
yet I move around
they are depicted
none can #justify
what was done
yet they move freely
back and forth thoughts
make a #rhythm
I'm constricted
it was predicted
blood on the water

crazy #locked-room #mystery by #Japanese author #ShimadaSoji Murder in the Crooked House: when local & regional detectives give up, Tokyo sends up a seeming amateur who's off the wall. Full of diagrams to help reader. A wonderful array of unexpected characters. #book #booksky

I am #wistful for
"the days of wine and roses"
in the winter of my days
Was it all seeming,
lotus dreaming?
"it was the best of times"
now I live "the worst of times"
though I #rue some wasted hours
I still long for flowery bowers
where the clock
can be re- #wound

He #wound up his arm, like a pitcher on the mound ready to hurl a fastball. The sharp and barbed missile flew straight and true, a #hefty throw, causing a deep wound hard to #treat. He was to #rue his rashness. #Cult members were like zombies.

Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

Hideous licensing agreement from Red Ogre Review, but what really jumps out at me is the moral rights waiver
Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*.
And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology.
Don't submit to this one, folks.

Well #regaled, but Beware the goal!
ghoul does not rhyme with #soul
it will #corrupt it though
bend to the #ground
like a dying bough
the #mirror cannot #protect
only your eyes can reflect
your inner truth - be bold
stand firm in your beliefs
