My Bird Will Fly
A Poem on Success
I only have one Muse and will only ever have one. I have looked for equivalent words in other cultures and can find none. My Muse inspires me to words of mythology and the culture of legendary characters and events. She is also a lover of nature and that is the stimulus for these words.
I've included a cover of The Beatles' "And Your Bird Can Sing" by Susanna Hoffs and Matthew Sweet so I think this qualifies as a "Mike" story for Dharrsheena.

You Ainβt Seen Nothinβ Yet
βYou Ainβt Seen Nothinβ Yetβ by Bachman Turner Overdrive cam on the player and I thought that would be a great starting point for a villanelle for The Vocal Social Society, which is now moving towards a thousand members and every day features something worth taking your time to read and keep you occupied for some time.

Dangerous High Bridge
Public Service Announcement Refreshing air fills your lungs, 420 feet above the river. Inhale the sweet aroma of evergreen trees, and experience scents the wind brings to you. The cascading, rushing river renews life. Ravens and eagles soar, calling in joyous freedom, catching updrafts. Giant evergreen trees stack the hillsides or create river turns with their fallen branches. Some days, clouds of cumulus, stratus, or cirrus float above, shifting into animal shapes. Vaping or smoking sullies the clean air. Forbidden. Campfires, loud music, and alcohol drinking and partying destroy the serenity. Forbidden.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
