Lullaby The night was young, and falling asleep wasn't easy, no matter how many doelings he had counted. Why didn't his neighbour's kids not stop bleating? He could hear the twelve loud and clearly through the thin walls. How on earth was she able to sleep surrounded by the constant noise he wondered. Don't help them, was his first thought. The cabbages he had left at her front door, to make sure her offspring would sleep without being hungry, were left behind untouched and…
The Other Capital *A friend always sends me pictures kind of collages made by? I assume Canva but it can be it's another tool. Most of them I don't like perhaps because it looks chaotic to me and it miss a certain charm. I thought because if Easter I could signal the Easter Bunny. Turns out it doesn't exist no matter the language used. Bing.com/create are all 'bunnies' or have no clue that the Easter egg delivery boy is a hare. So might you need the Easter Bunny next year…
Don't Argument - Trust the duck They had to get rid of the odd one out. The people in the village shouted and cheered and had called in the spiritual in a brown habit to fight the evil with prayer. He stood devoutly with folded hands on the bridge that had been laid over the duck canal. He creaked terribly when the cleric raised his arms and said: give me a sign, is this man a friend of the devil? Oh lord, save your pious subjects from purgatory and do not let them be burned…
Evil Mothers They had to get rid of the odd one out. The people in the village shouted and cheered and had called in the spiritual in a brown habit to fight the evil with prayer.

Rise with the Sun *Rise with the sun feels like getting out of bed early before the rooster crawls out of his nest to make the noise only he can make unless you have pheasants around since they make a more hoarse sound day and night.* They hide and at times they show their faces or lay down in the sand not caring about danger 'though the land they are living in is full of it since pheasant is a threat to men and beasts. Sunflowers do not arise. They stand still and most of…
Animal Abuse 'Do not disturb our habitat' What a joke. If you can read this you already did. The average person is not happy with nature, it is a source of annoyance. Part of nature are plants and animals and after that comes man the worst beast there is. Everything must disappear for man's convenience. We find it strange when a snake lies in front of the door, a fox walks on the roof, cats and monkeys steal from the kitchen and we conveniently forget that the panther lying…
The Last Wife's Insurance It was hard to tell if her dreams had come true. The guy she'd married, the one who'd promised her the moon turned out not to exist. Life was about waking up, surviving the day, and catching a nap if it felt safe enough to go to bed. As the doorbell rang she froze, not certain if she would open it or hide in a dark corner like she used to do on those rare occasions a stranger, not aware, dared to visit the owner of the house. Anyone home? Maam I…
Rotten Tomato There are times we are not in the mood to write or we do not seem to find the right words. There are prompt but still... My suggestion to you is to #freewrite. Just write (type) for a minute of 5-10. Don't care if it makes sense, about failures, if you are done you can read and edit. What helps me is to type in a certain rhythm. An extra help can be to generate a picture for example with bing.com/create there are plenty to find on the internet. The weird…
Life of an Earthworm Did you ever imagine how it feels to be an earthworm? With your slimy body, you eat yourself a way through the earth. You might bump into stones and have to eat yourself around roots while poison leaks through the soil you are travelling through. If you are tired you lay around and there's not much to do let alone to see. It most likely is pitch dark and if you do not listen carefully you might be shovelled away or dug out of the ground grabbed by some…
The Powerful 7 Wuuuuuhuuuuuu, where are youuu? That smell, coffee, chocolate, ego... I covered my head underneath the pillows. There you are, the voice sang. That could only be... ONE How lovely I am. It is mirror-time! Oh, dear, it's animal time, I groaned underneath my pillow, why can't they leave? Hey, WuK you lazy sloth it's time to get out of bed, why does it always take so long before you see the daylight? Get lost! I hardly slept last night, for sure the sun will…
Bear with me... **Bear with me** the note on my doormat said. I hoped it wasn't a message from Paddington and meant he was left behind on a station again. There was no address where to find him meaning I had to sniff around before leaving. I wondered how that bear could still be alive after all those years of being left behind, pandemics and big city life. I checked the note again. *Bear with me* ... what was that tiny word in the right corner *while*? I knew enough the old…
Stop it! **Bear with me** while I fix my face with the mirror. All you have to do is wait for a minute or two. As soon as the mirror does its trick I no longer have to feign I am the abandoned Cedric. Just wait a minute and see for yourself, I rise with the sun as soon as the magic word is spoken... https://peakd.com/hive-161155/@marriot5464/king-cedric-and-pride Girl, my deadly words are not what you need to be worried about but how they will treat handsome, irresistible…
A Silver Moon Who are you two? Dragon was walking in the forest when she bumped into a strange duo. I am Little Red Riding Hood, said the girl, and this is the big bad wolf. Good day madam, said the animal, how are you. Isn't the moon bright tonight? I hope we haven't disturbed your evening walk. You're polite for a bad wolf, Dragon said cheerfully. She was not too concerned with etiquette and happily stomped through life just like her cousin the elephant who was left behind…
