silver bullet
lightning flashes in
the ecstasy of battle
the murmur of a
silver bullet expands one's
mind into oblivion

Next: sanguine, mystic, oblivion, déjà vu, spin, dispel
A sanguine disposition...
A sanguine disposition
spins the coin in its fingers
and dispels the dark thoughts.
Bad experience is condemned
to oblivion without deja vu.
It's quietly optimistic,
maybe mystic.

Challenge: generation, enabling, amber, baby, friends, genealogy
another voice; the same plea
'tis hoped for generationally, my
friends and otherwise, in matters
of all genealogies - that just because
laws exist enabling the usage,
hence the acquiring, of precious
ambergris et al, politically, ethically,
any which way, we take up the
cause of universal conservation -
that we continue the conversation
so as to not throw the proverbial
baby out with the bathwater and
become the righteous stewards,
eschewing ownership of all we
survey, that we were destined to be

in a nutshell
in a nutshell our AI is strategic
to the extreme... not always
to the letter of the law - in fact
vivid colors and even aromatic
nuances accompany its death rays
when our overlords counterattack

Note: I will be travelling soon, perhaps haphazardly, and may be incommunicado. Even when I return I may be offline due to possible severe snow accumulation and power outages... Time and circumstance will tell :)

Fateful poem!
I wish you a good voyage and good weather on return!
Challenge accepted
Next: swirl, waterfall, sword fern, otter, owl, færies
Like a waterfall
No wild metaphors
No explosions of form
Somewhere, sometimes lies fairyland.
Crystalline waters
carrying with themselves
the games of Alice´s and Oz´s countries
and the pranks of rag doll Emilia...
Otters, owls, onças, pink dolphins
faeries, gnomes, saçis, playfull spirits all
Somewhere a cat dissolves in his own smile
Somewhere children travel in the sky or visit the magic reign
at the botton of the sea.
Somewhere Puck casts his magic spell
on those that slumber with eyes wide open.
Not to forget the cranky Sci-fi worlds
Swirling down the waterfall
They all beckon to you.
Sword fern or starry skies
A magic landscape
awaits them and you!
Next: travel, sun, luggage, prairie, landscapes, spring.
Ah, the trip: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, (I) had everything before (me), (I) had nothing before (me), (I was) going direct to Heaven, (I was) going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." In short: I survived through the grace of God and shall never be the same again.
The weather on returning home was gratefully mild... our forecast was for 0 - 2+ meters of snow and we were just above 0.00 m - though my home was 43° F (6° C) inside when I arrived due to my kitties'-sitter not being able to keep a fire going in the wood stove (kitties survived) :)
Love, love, love your poem! (I bow) :)

Welcome back, tailor!This must have been a very special trip for you. Glad you survived and that the kitties survived your absence and a cold stove. As you saw you were missed on Litnet too.
Thanks for you albeit exaggerated prize . Curious about your next poem,
Thanx... really did enjoy your poem :)
Challenge: travel, sun, luggage, prairie, landscapes, spring
the staycation
planning a simple staycation this spring
departing nowhere and everywhere with
no luggage nor mental baggage to bring
to prairies, mountains, and landscapes of myth
to bask in a sun of my own making

Anti Tourist Guide
The time is the fall
the place- the sea
on the more secluded side
of imaginaria.
Emerged from the nearby wood
A golden fawn
wonders
at her own image
trembling in the water
agitated by the sombre humor
of the rusalka.

Enjoyed very much.... very imaginative :)

Challenge: whirlwind, shadow, dance, entertainment, rickshaw, elegiac
daimon in the rough
writing with an elegiac grace
perforce a whirlwind of
brickshawl patterned
shadow dancing with a vibrancy
lacking in any entertainment value
I seek something more organic
in nature - more a resonance to
reign in daimonic demands

I love hollidays on the countryside
where blackberries grow
and vases are unnecessary
because the flowers grow
freely in the fields.
And shadows of sigilous trees
lean over the dusty paths,
