Am I a successful writer? No.

Do I have fun doing it? Yes. And that's all that matters.

With Kluhm’s fireballs spitting out toward the monster, it looked like the creature circled a small Sun, a minor #heliacal rain of death pouring on it.

Usually it was the other way around, of course, the character circling the monster. Rory didn’t mind, it saved wear and tear on his thumb.

our paths cross
but never touch
your kiss is #arid
devoid of passion
the only thirst
I can provide
an oasis of dreams
and fulfillment
of the senses

She took my hand
And said
I rule this land
Which was, for the most part, sand
I noted dryly
Devoid of life and #arid
Even so the baroness of this desert, she parried
So like your love life
I whispered slyly
Your's too
She said smiling
Because I hear you are married

If you think about it, Earth makes up a tiny percentage of the whole of the universe so #unearthly things are far more common than earthly things.
We're the aberration.

captain warns in undertones;

For some #unearthly reason she took flight
And when almost out of sight
Shouted. Goodbye, don't cry,
while still loving you I now crave the sky
The freedom, space and the solitude
And realise nothing will change your unforgiving altitude

I stopped reading and stared across the water
You seem distracted, she said
I was, was thinking of the sadness of Anita
I'm glad we upgraded to #deluxe the balcony and view of the lake, she said
Deluxe? Oh deluxe, sorry I misheard, I said
You're happy with this? I added as an afterthought #vss365

Never trust scientists: entomologists recognise four hundred thousand different #beetles, but they can't even agree on which one was the fifth.

Fortune had not been in his parents gift
On the ladder of life
Stuck on the bottom rung
A father who spent his days rolling dung
And him a deathwatch #beetle working the graveyard shift

I used to work in advertising and came with a campaign to market the ' #ultimate pen ' It took a while to realise why no one took me seriously.
