I listen to the satisfying POP POP POP of it as I shake the pan. A predictability in pattern, to the popping of #corn yet individually, the timing cannot be told: like luck, like life, like death. So savour the taste, while graced with time. #wildwalkprompts #poem #BlueSkyPoetry

"This #corn is aMAIZEing", he said. The date went on for 1 more hour but that was when it went sour. who doesn't like corny jokes? some cheese won't make me choke, but that furrow was ploughed to excess, that joke? Not a success. So farewell buddy it was a pleasure you just didn't measure up 🤪

It's a bittersweet vintage, with hints of days long #past. It tastes of #elderberries and #enchantment. Of long summer days and midnight confessions. And her. He sighs, and raises a glass, and opens another bottle. But it doesn't taste the same. Without her. #vss365 #WildWalkPrompt #vssfantasy

"But when do faeries sleep?" I asked, after all, it was 2 am, and she really had been most active, dancing on the bright green moss in a moonbeam. I leaned forward for her answer, delivered in her buttercup voice: "what a question!" "Oh I am sorry! I -" "You can't enjoy the moment!" she harumpfed,

Literally my head when I saw them... Had to google it because I almost convinced myself I'd be fine 😂Always eat the berries! Unless they are potatoes.... Potatoes deserve the dignity of an oven... 🥔🥔🥔
