Stunning flash of light,
Illuminating the night,
Forcing me awake.

Guard Your Battery
Why are some people so attractive just by standing there? It’s not because they are "likable," but because they don’t need everyone to like them. I realized later that truly charismatic people allow themselves to be criticized, but they never criticize themselves. They never try to please the world; instead, the world stops to watch them.

Parallel Protests
I haven't written for quite some time, but I have A LOT of thoughts about yesterday's protest rally against our government's involvement and complicity in America's war on Iran, on the harbourside of my home city Bristol, and I need to put them somewhere. My gorgeous girlfriend is always a loving and listening ear and sharing it all with her will always be a healthy and happy way of processing the mental and emotional weight, but getting it straight in my brain to share means writing it all down in straight lines, so, here we are and thanks for being here.

Hi Rebecca Have hearted and subscribed. I loved your Sky-ku! Here in Brisbane Australia, I long for the lighting and thunder storms. We’ve had 2 over 2 weeks. And if the dark dark clouds have a tint of green - two downpours. Hail, squalling rain then hopefully continuing solid downpours. Sheer relief to break the stifling humidity of our Summer season.

I love your sky-ku… & storms… as long as I’m safe & sound inside ✅
I've been woken up this way a few times. Not fun at all 😅 Loved your poem!
