#VSS365 The troubles of this world –#wraith-s in a dirty window-bent his back. He carried them for too long. One last glimpse at the window, then he’s looking for his ticket to nowhere. - The Japanese artist Naoki Kimura NAOKI KIMURA 木 村 尚 樹 graciously allowed me to use one of his

#vss365 #wraith Hold fragile your breath here, The thorn of the rose Is a pantomimes haze of dark old~ Bleeding the tears of a wraiths fear, And a paused loney howl, Of a time, long long ago..never told, #WritingCommunity Pic from Stockcake

Walking through this is Enchantment itself...

Thomas Sternberg’s ‘Dialect and Folk-lore of Northamptonshire’ (1851), published only 5 years after the term ‘folklore’ was coined, is also one of the first books on the folklore of southern England to have a dedicated chapter on fairies

- you said it was safe to approach your light a prayer of hope dangling, dancing for me alone. but i was nothing, another mesmerized soul you lured through the night. how lovely i must’ve looked in your maw sweet anglerfish, believing in the solace of stars. - #vss365

My lovely followers, may you have a clear morning, a productive day and a magic evening. Thank you for your love 🥰 A few short moments from the Poetry Festival Tranquility: An Anthology of Haiku in collaboration with Victoria - Victoria in Verse Show - Radio Bloomsbury, UK.

Just a glimmer Of another time Shimmering echoes In their dark forest Where hanging trees Bleed violent rhapsodies That summer exploded Death laughed in your face And the bastard is still laughing #MadVerse

In my defense… It wasn’t the mist Or a fantasy tryst Nor the dark carousel Made my heart swell It was his scent of wood-smoke And spicy forest oak Made me fall for the boy #vss365 #FairyCore #poetry Image: Pinterest

Happiness be a myriad of feelings Some big some small But yours it’s all Light it up like a firework Or waft through like candlewick mist But don’t be sad, sad’s everywhere Don’t let sad be king Make it cower Let it #whimper #vss365

#Vss365 #Whimper Whimpers in the darkling Of the forest, Dayspring is beyond In wicked decays, Entwining whispers Of an hours original promise, Hush now~ Footsteps are a waltzes invite.. To ever..stay, #WritingCommunity Pic is my own

The stars whimper The moon sighs He drinks the juice Of poisonous berries Shadows in his eyes There is beauty in his darkness His soul, of light bereft Beware, he’ll draw you in One kiss will be your death #vss365 Image: Pinterest

“Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely” - Edna St. Vincent Millay, Dirge Without Music

Did my fingers tremble? Did my voice shake? Did U hear my heart #whimper? For U it surely did break I guess you didn't see Did it even cross your mind? That seeing U once more Was a blow oh so cruel & unkind Let me grieve For all I lost Absorb the pain & know the cost #vss365

Mandy is moon-thrilled High in the darkness Killer to white powder A steeplejack looks down Smoking for his universe He will fall only one time And he will take her with him #MadVerse

In Cumbrian dialects, 'thimble-flower' is foxglove, 'bummel' is bee, and 'tod' is fox in one tale, faeries gave a fox, foxglove petals to put on it's toes - the fox's gloves - to raid the hen house without being heard #folklore #nature #foxoftheday 📷 Alan McFadyen

Chewed her up Like mashed #marrow Now her soul’s hardened She thinks Like a meat cleaver On steroids Is she evil though Every season’s a bitter Winter Silent vultures in shadows Took her there #vss365 #Image Shawn Coss

They are down the road Around the corner Shouting out the window Making love to stress engines And vomiting on Mary's roof It's your last chance to make it right Before the universe kills itself #MadVerse

Papa Jim,an old seadog a sailor to the #marrow was smoking the last pipe of the day Around him fledglings sipping Blue Ruin chattering about Krakens and mermaids Have you ever seen a #selkie Captain? young Ben asked A lonly tear ran down on Jim's wrinkly cheek #vss365

His cold kisses I’d endure Careless was each caress Absent were words of love~ I was not fooled by distant looks Betrayal burned... Into the marrow of my soul Image: Pinterest #DarkAcademia #poetry #vss365
