the garden takes aim
a coneflower ready to
shoot its colors out

Her hopes were kindled
Finally, a loving soul
And she's housebroken!

Have you seen Carol?
I can't find her anywhere!
She's away in a manger.

#vss365 #Jump #Poetry #Quatrain #Haiga #Bravery

A jumping spider froze in place
too scared to take the leap
he wiggled all his tiny legs
then bravely inched a peep

He puffed his chest a bit
and whispered, “Here I go…”
then launched with all eight wobbling legs
surprised to feel the flow
A tiny jumping spider clings to a black metal bar, with a softly blurred green background.

The Cat in the Hat had a spat with a bat
who borrowed his bowtie and flaxated it flat
He blumbled and he piffled and he quixed with a glare
then tripped on his tail and flooped in the air

How do you think these wonderful things?

How do you scroll?
like a raccoon catching shine,
a prophet craving doom,
a wanderer chasing roads,
a poet seeking wonder,

or
someone hoping
to be seen?

This strange royal dream - In this strange royal dream
where moonlit steeds arise - where moonlit steeds arise
as a comet-born team - I chased what I once wanted
chase dawn across the skies - across unbroken skies

Maybe no one heard
or maybe they turned away
I’ll never know.

But the words came anyway,
pulled from that stubborn place
that refuses to quiet,

and maybe
that’s the closest thing
to courage.

“The most transparent administration in history” only released 10% of the Epstein files yesterday.

The DOJ must be confusing transparency with cover-up.

Democrats slam Trump administration for incomplete release of Epstein files

There was one phrase Democrats kept using Friday in response to the Justice Department only releasing a portion of the Epstein files: “cover up.”
