I'm having fun playing around with videos and poetry at the moment. October is the best time to get some gorgeous nature footage, so here's my poem 'October' with a short walk in my local park.

I wrote this poem, 'Finally', over three years ago as an acknowledgement of my own journey. I think it is finally time to share it. It still resonates and is a constant reminder to never give up following your heart and dreams. Let me know if it resonates with you too! 🙏
I wrote this poem over three years ago.
It's about the very real phenomenon
of lost cables.
It really did happen.
It's meant to be funny.
Maybe I think it's funnier
than it really is. 🤔🙄

Asemic Snapshots for Trick or Treat
***** Asemic Snapshots:
Ghosts ~ Travellers in A Far Off Land
The three stanzas are #tankas, with accurate line number and the required 31 syllables, though the syllable count per line does not follow the traditional formula. The concluding #ProsePoem, turns the whole composition into a sort of reverse #Haibun.

"Troll" by Tim Turnbull (read by Tom O'Bedlam)
This Troll sounds rather familiar, and all the more frightening. :bl46:
Learnt the art of modish small talk,
how to flatter or to charm
with just a smidge of erudition
or great big bucket-loads of smarm;
who to ignore, who to trample,
when be early, when be late,
when reveal his brutish nature
in order to intimidate
- he launched into the world
to make himself a better gnome
by getting status, cash and girls.
But look into his gimlet eyes,
they’re wells of boiling rage.
He hardly can contain himself
inside that well groomed, urbane cage.
