Hours slip like rain threads,
afternoons dissolve in haze—

Hours slip like rain threads,
afternoons dissolve in haze—
something stirs ahead.
Nice haiku :)

I like those "gentle words", tailor, and how "afternoons dissolve in haze", Tony.

Through the window lights are shining
like a star to earth that's signing:
all is well. Its silver lining
suddenly appears.
"A silver lining"... love this metaphor... :)

the windows to your soul
the windows to your soul
belie the precious time you keep
downcast as they scroll
captively when one should sleep

at unfathomable speed
26,000 light years away
in the galactic center
star S4714
orbits at 8% of the speed of light
an unfathomable speed
roughly 12.6 AU away from
a massive black hole, Sagittarius A

May the windows to our souls be a blessing to those around us. Nice one, tailor!

Strike and so obey
if the cause be right.
Seek and you shall find.
Let the way unwind
from the dark to light.
Into the light... Enjoyed :)
forge ahead
let's strike while the iron is hot
for time is of the essence lest
your peace of mind be fraught
do this and ye shall be blessed

a man of simple tastes
a draught of chilled
peppermint tea
a finishing bite nicely

a touch too much
added a pinch too much cinnamon
to my rice and milk - it doesn't mix
very well, coats the side of the bowl
and sits on top like so many motes

Nice ones, tailor. Good reminder to forge ahead even with occasionally too much cinnamon.
Esther Chilton offers "element" for this week's prompt: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2025/09/...cription_popup
Discernment
An element of truth may be
so buried in the mud that we
see mud and think the mud we see
is truth when it is not.
Thanx. Thoughtful axiom :) Hope to return with a poem :)
pspsps #11 (Schrödinger's Cat reprised)
a cat was removed from its element
sealed in a container, became revenant
having survived or not when unobserved
a priori bordering on the absurd
for those not in physics a nonevent

It's probably a good idea to keep one's cat away from those Schrodinger experiments.
Esther Chilton offers "charge" for this week's prompt: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2025/09/...cription_popup
The tease was offered without charge.
Addiction would come later.
So, if you're tempted, better say
this will cost more some other day
when total cost is greater.
So true... enjoyed :)
A Positive Experience
I get a charge out of nature
the sweet petrichor after a rain
on a cool September's day

That petrichor is a wonderful experience.
Esther Chilton offers "promises" for this week's prompt: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2025/09/...cription_popup
Promises are here and there.
Beware the promise everywhere.
Beware the blame that darkens air.
You promised to forgive.
