horizon mourning
the passing of the sun god -
fireflies celebrate

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

wingèd wil-o'-wisps,
fireflies weave their enchantments
to enthrall moonlight

 

[stickygirl]

No UK fireflies
LEDs in neighbours patch
Is all we get here

Their pink flamengo
Rigid as bright pink plastic
Lights up at night. Nice

 

[Voboy]

Artifice or not,
Light reaches out to find us
In its endless forms.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

The light in the dark
shining when you need it most
is a precious thing.

 

[Voboy]

Hurrying footsteps.
Gathering clouds. Far lightning.
You won't beat the storm.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

So, dance in the rain.
Tilt your face up to the sky
and feel the drops splash!

 

[stickygirl]

Droughts affect the brain
Hot nights naked, slow headaches
Mum danced in the rain

true story

 

[stickygirl]

Blackberries so sweet
Bloodied fingers prove their worth:
Pie with cream is lush

 

[Voboy]

Condiments for pie.
Many possibilities.
Sharp cheddar is best.

 

[AlinaX]

blood and blackberries
the true essence of witchcraft
with a fruity punch

 

[stickygirl]

Always Eve that sinned
Poor Adam, tricked by desire
Serpent, cock - same thing

 

[AlinaX]

except a serpent
has the skill to swallow cocks
but not the reverse

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Fangs of a serpent?
Near my what? Adam demured.
Eve licked her eye teeth.

 

[Voboy]

Tooth as metaphor.
Grinding, piercing, puncturing.
Freud would understand.

 

[AlinaX]

I'm not sure he would!
as everyone knows, vampires...
are Jung forever

 

[Voboy]

Serpent or vampire
Every creature in the woods?
They're feeling Horney.

 

[stickygirl]

Horney got no sleep
All those creatures feeling him
Buy a mossie net

 

[stickygirl]

Rub garlic on toes
You might taste it in your mouth
Cures athlete's foot too

 

[EbersMoll]

Many fetishes
Make one’s stomach somersault,
But garlic feet?! Yuck.

 

[AlinaX]

garlic in the nails...
the devil treads lightly
on cloven feet

 

[Voboy]

Though not his children:
The vampires can't abide it.
Saw it in "Lost Boys."

 

[AlinaX]

strange, yes, but I like
echo and the bunnymen
better than the doors

 

[Voboy]

The original?
The cover is often worse,
But not that one. Nope.
