The weird holidays get weirder.
Today is Hug a Medievalist Day. I kind of sort of count, so can I have some hugs?
Or maybe you'd care to buy my Robin Hood book, although I don't lay claim to historical accuracy ;)

The King is off on Crusade.
The country is being bled dry.
Between high taxes and the Forest Laws, a strained people teeter on the edge of revolt. Outlaws walk the woods. And a wandering friar, try...

That press conference was the most disgraceful act of betrayal I’ve ever seen.

I am a
portrait in honesty,
yet wreathed in #petulance
when I sense
a mind that is unkind;
maybe I should
be more forgiving,
and make a point of
leaving my
frustrations behind.

Oh, rain cloud in the distance
Darkened by our petulance
Let it out, let it pelter!
Remind us that our woes
Are trivial and small
Let your nature do nurture
And reset our souls
Friday's #vss365 #prompt is #petulance (or petulant)

Optics before onslaught
Dread leads my death dive

You can't escape it, only change its course

I dream of a love
that doesn't colour me blue,
but shades of warm amber
that I can sink into
in easy delight,
and with fathomless trust—
I need something more than
just bright scarlet lust—
so paint me a love song
that sings to my heart
in sweet, vibrant hues
that set you apart
(from the rest)
that doesn't colour me blue,

Kevin Reynolds' Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves - an old-fashioned Hollywood swashbuckler. Kevin Costner is on fine form as the eponymous hero & Alan Rickman chews scenery as the Sheriff of Nottingham. There’s a luscious Michael Kamen score, strong supporting cast & great cameo!

In the original English ballads, Robin Hood robbed from the rich but he didn't give to the poor - he kept the money. Robin was a folk hero not because he actively helped the poor but just because he harassed the greedy people who the poor wished they could harass.

Forever chasing sunshine,
you’re the golden spill at dawn’s edge—
light bending between moments,
a rush of moonlight nectar,
silver tides bursting on my tongue.
Always falling for your fragrance.

I am hollow,
and my bones ache with dread—
the night is waxing gibbous,
yet the despair is in my head;
there is a quivering
in these sombre veins,
a pale and crooked monster
that feeds on my pain;
I’m isolated—
consume me from within—
my own immortal epiphany,
reeking of every little sin.
