Spell Chick

Flowing and draping
fabrics like satin, cotton
Usually wrinkled.

Or at least for me
My fashion sense is all gone
I wear my leggings.


topic: trees
Imperfect Reason My thoughts, such as they are.

Jo Bannister

Elm, ash and hornbeam:
rooks calling from the branches;
the sound of summer.

topic: boats

CCoburn

Ignore. There was a collision, and I lost.

Varying patterns
of trees, grounds, mountains, and clouds
– fractal architect

Next: mountains

Maybe next time. the winner says "boats" is next.

Edit:  the 'recovery' always does seem a bit awkward – don't seem to get used to that.

CCoburn

I'd rather just drive,
but prefer sea over air
Screw the statistics

Next: mountains

Jo Bannister

They don't really care
if you climb up them or fall.
Mountains are remote.

Next: hare

CCoburn

It's a bad hare day!
All these rambunctious rabbits,
knocking stuff over!

Next: kitten

Jo Bannister

Fluffy, appealing,
wide-eyed. Who'd think that kitten
will become a cat?

Next: car-park


CCoburn

Balancing tires
Just need a quick place to stop
Carpark up ahead

Next: potholes

Jo Bannister

Home of the cave bear?
Short-cut to deepest Hades?
Or just a pot-hole?

Next: river

Spell Chick

Gurgling babbling brooks
join with many more to form
Gigantic rivers.


topic: magic
Imperfect Reason My thoughts, such as they are.

Jo Bannister

Now you see it, now
you don't.  Can you locate the
lady?  Not a chance.

next: a film/movie

CCoburn

Tiny "rock hammer"
Little pressure; lots of time,
is all that you need

Next: another movie

Jo Bannister

CGI monsters,
human nature at its worst -
bad as one another.

next: a city

CCoburn

Don't like Portland Maine
or any others like it –
far too congested

Next: puppies

Jo Bannister

The best thing about
puppies is that they grow up
into dogs.  End of.

Next: making a will
