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.

"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)

Elizabeth Barrett Browning died #OTD in 1861. Her work had a major influence on prominent writers of the day, including Edgar Allan Poe and Emily Dickinson. via @Wikipedia

May we raise children who love the unloved things.
What a beautiful line.

Stay Home
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.

An #introduction post, given recent influx, with hashtags to aid searchability.
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.

Hello everyone! I'm Greg, and I'm a writer looking for a nice home and community. I’m mostly a # writer (and reader/watcher) and have been working on flash fiction and poetry as of late, on my way to working up towards longer fiction.

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