I made a Classical Chinese Poetry Bingo to help people recognize the common tropes and motifs.🤣 These show up frequently in the modern poetry I translate as well. Do you recognize anything from your readings or from pop culture? Tag yourself. I'm "feeling sad on a boat" lol

The curious shadow stands in my room.
It gets what it wants, nothing left to assume.
When it cries, your soul flies,
Away from this gorgeous, frightening crimes.
The curious shadow's now closer to me.
It stares at me, and consumes my fear.
I'm chained to bed, I can't even move,
But the curious shadow is still in my room.
(c) Andrew Nitrogenesis
"The face, which, duly as the sun,
Rose up for me with life begun,
To mark all bright hours of the day
With hourly love, is dimmed away —
And yet my days go on, go on."
De Profundis (1862)

by Wendell Berry
I will wait here in the fields to see how well the rain brings on the grass.
In the labor of the fields longer than a man's life
I am home. Don't come with me.
You stay home too.
I will be standing in the woods where the old trees move only with the wind and then with gravity.
In the stillness of the trees
I am at home. Don't come with me.
You stay home too.

I am O. Westin, a #writer of #MicroFiction, mostly #ScienceFiction and #fantasy #fiction, and occasional #poetry. My stories are generally less than 280 characters, because I also post to Twitter.
No set schedule, stories are written and posted when inspiration strikes.
I am LGBTQIA+ positive, and usually favour wholesome over darkness and edgy nihilism.

Here’s a small sample of some recent #haiku, ranging from #fanfiction for #Cyberpunk2077 to random #photography moments. (At which I’m trying to get better, and marry it to my love of writing.)
