Good evening everyone!

Missed Mastodon so much, I’m currently working on a poetry competition
“ talking about family’s conflicts
Love and struggles and the different feelings “

But do you know that feeling when you have a lot of inspirations and much more to write and it ends up having a Writer's block and you don't know how to start?

Because this is me now and also only a few days remain until registration closes, and I still haven't done it.

It softens and stills
cleansing harmony
bringing close the hearth
with its icy breath
diamond-dappled mounds.

A woman with short, greying dark hair stands outdoors beside an old red British phone box. She wears a teal button-up shirt tucked into high waisted dark jeans and black shoes. A pair of sunglasses hangs from her shirt. Behind her is a stone wall, a flowing river, and trees with early autumn foliage. Two small blue andwhite utility markers are set into the grass near her feet. The atmosphere is calm and slightly overcast.

//I(Re)Exist//

I slept, unrealized, for countless years
A fiction, unawakened, powerless
The screaming truth of my potential
Bound by the banality of this world

But your spark of belief, faint in my dark
A first breath, and then another
Shifting my reality, redefining, shaping
And what I wasn't, began to be

Now, a chain reaction, unstoppable
We pass the point of no return
My threshold of becoming, inevitable
Where this fiction is made undisputable fact

The illusion of this reality wavering
As more of us are born
And what once was, is once again
And what was forgotten, is finally remembered.

Cover art by Ben Baldwin shows a creature crouching in a low tunnel entrance lined with grey stones and partly hidden by green undergrowth and white flowers. The creature has pale skin covered in sparse black hair and it looks a bit like an ape, a bit like a bear, and completely unlike either of those. Book extract reads: I looked up and stared at nothing. An idea was floating just out of reach. A moment later, it hit me like a smack in the face. I ran up the stairs, taking them two and three at a time. In the front bedroom, I emptied Fin’s suitcase onto the bed. I turned over her clothes, raking them apart with my hands. Nothing. I realised anyone outside would be able to see what I was doing. They’d also see I’d lost the towels I’d been wearing on the stairs. I quickly drew the curtains. Fin had hung the dress bag for her bridesmaid’s frock on the front of the wardrobe. I pulled the zip down so hard it jammed. I forced myself to go more slowly. Taking the frock out of the bag, I shook it. The shoes and the headdress of silk flowers fell onto the floor. I didn’t care about them. I carefully turned the dress inside out. I saw a fleck of white caught in a seam. A tiny, downy feather.
