Better late than never?  A haiku for 'heatwave', featuring Emil:


When the heat wave hits
whoosh! every nerve aflame
my one true passion

A heat wave is uncomfortable for everyone, except the night things.


The forest is dead quiet. Sweltering sun has forced even the insects to seek shelter. The only sound is the occasional soft crack when something crumbles in the heat and the crushing of moss underfoot. The brittle dry vegetation offers little nourishment. Birds have flown away, or maybe perished in their nests. Eerie silence fills the ears, when you stop walking.

But the night things thrive. They are swifter, stronger, more silent. Deadlier. The large ones roam farther. The small ones gather In numbers. They wait. We wait.

The rain must come soon, bringing cool breezes. The rain must come.


Time for a new prompt. Suggestions?

I have been procrastinating so much lately, so i do apologize for the lack of .....anything.

How about lazy and/or procrastination?

We’ve all been a bit absent lately. Hopefully the turn of the seasons will help us wake up :) And we have the great plans for the 10 year anniversary and YoinkTober so lots of opportunities ahead!

The prompt is now Procrastination / Lazy

(Also I’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that
A) nothing on the Forum is an obligation, so you are not ”lazy” or ”procrastinating” when not doing something here
B) procrastination may be caused by laziness, but usually it’s not!)

I know, but I do enjoy the conversations on the forum, and miss everyone :) .  It is just me... feeling weird
10 year anniversary and YoinkTober sounds glorious :)

I have been having writers block, and need to try and write something to get out of it (LOL)

I'm not getting a creepy vibe as such, I'm getting less drama and more 'This is not good, but probably survivable, we have systems in place to deal with this. Mostly.'

Well, the rain always comes. Eventually. Let’s just hope we can wait longer than the night things, hmm?

And thanks!

Wave, I don’t think you intended to give Emil hot flashes but I can’t help thinking of it like that. In any case it is definitely Emil!

Reading that in the context of the previous couple of posts, I was half expecting

Spoiler: show
Emil to no longer fit in his pants because he was pregnant
