My Grandma & Your Grandma. Content Warning.
This will be my first post to the Swamp community. It may also be my last. If you're a friend of mine on this platform at the moment, you've probably noticed that I don't usually comment on political threads, either. There's a reason I don't spend time in this arena and this morning is a fine example.

Castles in the Sky. Top Story - November 2024. Content Warning.
I remember the sparkle in those green eyes, the day we met. I recall the flash of her red hair in the sun and the way the freckles danced on her cheeks when she laughed. And that laugh – pure music. I learned what “lilting” meant that day.

Night Storm
light splits the heavens while ebony clouds explode dark rivers run wild *** After an all-night thunderstorm (which makes me sleep peacefully), we were awakened by a huge lightning strike this morning. I woke with this haiku in my head, so I decided to share it even though the challenge is closed. Probably for the best, since I've entered too many already. It's still pouring outside.

Orbital Paradox
strings of satellites for the sake of connection isolate our world *** Author's Note: I love all things space, but I love space more. According to the ESA, there are currently more than 35,000 objects being tracked in orbit around our planet, but the number of pieces of debris over one centimeter is over a million. What intelligent species would work so hard to block out the stars?
