The #ink I write with is magic ink. It can conjure up moments of beauty, joy, solace and calm. It can anchor memories in time & space & it can help me understand. This ink I write with is magic ink. #blueskyrelay

All people have got a #pearl hidden inside of them.Some need their whole life to find it. #thingstowriteabout

When I #travel to foreign countries, walk the streets of once unfamiliar cities, see the sun set over the ocean, talk to the people and we share stories, my heart grows. #vss365

Yesterday, the forecast said "No rain!" So we took a walk along the sea front & of course, it started to pour. But there were several luminous spots between the dark clouds. We looked around but nothing happened & now the weather god owes us a #rainbow. #thingstowriteabout

Yes, I know, even though I am leaning more to the quiet side, at times, I can be loud, clumsy, awkward, annoying & embarrasing. (My students probably would say: All of this!) I just hope, I didn't make anybody #nervous #vss365

A poem without words #thingstowriteabout #frost

It was a rhetorical question. He answered it anyway, going off on a tangent, longwinded, loquacious, starting with Adam & Eve, punctuating his philippika with his raised finger, until he finally came to his usual conclusion; "Don't get my carpet dirty!" #FromOneLine

They say that life is just #training for death. Thank God, I am a slow learner. #vss365

I'll never claim again that women always own so many shoes after two of my (male) students showed me pictures of their #sneakers collection. #vss365

It's time for the autumn #lottery! Go to the forest & draw your ticket. The Golden One wins the jackpot. #vss365

sugar in the morning #pink candyfloss clouds at sunrise. Let's grab some for breakfast. #thingstowriteabout

add "for tax purposes" to the end of a movie title Spirited away for tax purposes

When I'm #dead, don't put my ashes in an urn. Put it into an hourglass, so I can be on time. Scatter it under a tree that's called what I am now. Grit the road with it, so I can help you one last time. #vss365

crows cawing, accompanied by rustling leaves the #sound of autumn #vss365

When I get weary, I get the Blues, too. But there's no Mississippi #Delta shining like a National Guitar* for me. Where I live, a different river flowers, opening up into the Baltic Sea. Thus, the Seagull Choir & me sing the Schwentine Delta blues. #vss365 *Paul Simon: Graceland

The light in your eyes, the #calm in your smile, the quality of your silences. #vss365

Introduce yourself as an anime character.

If eating an apple was the original #sin, what would be an unoriginal one? & what did the worm that lived in the apple say to that matter? #vss365

At last I found my lonely #island, in a quite corner of the library, by the window, hidden behind the economy books, where even I wouldn't normally go. There's just enough room for me & you, Miss Friday, & some rambler #roses peeking through the window. #vss365 #thingstowriteabout

She counted the bells ön Sunday morning - one for luck, two for courage, three for joy four for love, five for a kiss, six for a wish, seven for health, eight for wealth, nine for a dream, ten for sleeping in late. #FromOneLine

... & my bed is a boat with the tide rocking me to sleep. & with my blanket, I set #sail to dreamlands, not yet known ... #vss365

#vss365 #hurricane (published January 2024 in academyoftheheartandmind.com/2024/01/08/t...

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

Do you remember the day we got caught in the rain and found a dry place on the #harbour ferry? Our ticket was valid for 3 hrs, so we just sat there, your head on shoulder, never moving, except for the occasional kiss. I I hope the memory does not make you sea sick. #vss365

#vss365 #lure

A short history of the clouds Cotton Candy. Mountains. A snail slowly leaving its house. Snoopy chasing a dragon. Don Quijote falling off Rosinante. My father turning his face to the sun. A hole through which my mother watches over me. #vss365 #cloud

For todays #vss365 #nurture, here is my poem "The Gardener", published two years ago in SixPenceSociety (Does it still exist?)

I know: Halloween is still a month away. But today, we already made some decorations in class anyway. #halloween #teachersofbluesky #classroom #artsandcraft

Do as the sun #dial does & only count the happy hours (inspired by an old German schlager) #thingstowriteabout

The curtain stayed open long enough, so we could get a glimpse at this life's #passion play - is it a tragedy, is it a comedy? We will find out later, when the plot unfolds, before the final curtain call. #vss365

#Stormy Monday the tree in front of the window knocks asing if he can come inside #vss365

The fields are black & moving. It's crow season. Beaks are shining in the sun or digging in the soil. Wings are being opened. Cawing fills the air. & when I see them from the window of my train, I am never sure whether they are having a meeting or are growing there. #FromOneLine

I wasn't the first, admittedly, to watch the sun rise, to admire flowers or a bird in flight; the first to fall in love or get rejected; the first to experience joy or loss, not at all. But still, I'm gonna write about it as if I was. #vss365 #commence

Wusstest Du, dass ein AfD-Politiker bei KIKA ungefiltert zu Wort kam? Nun ist ein zweites Interview geplant. Jetzt unterzeichnen ✍️ und teilen: Keine Rechtsextreme im Kinderkanal!

Name a non-LOTR character who could resist the One Ring (if you feel like it)

Who's the most chaotic choice to give the One Ring to?

He looked like he had been painted by Archimboldo: Spaghetti hair, cauliflower #ears and a beet nose. (The beginning of an abandoned WIP, describing the proagonists' lawyer) #thingstowriteabout

taking a walk on the #moonglade in search of dreamland #vss365

Somebody had knocked over a bucket of white paint on the pavement. A trail of footprints led from the blob to our front door. Coming home from school, 8 year old me wanted to find out if, after two days, it was still wet... #AmpersandAfterDark @madp03t.bsky.social
