rain-doused twigs tap my window tentacle shadows a dying day… the sky oozes black sprinkled stars float on glittering eyes like yours watching above knocking at my chamber door? “A moment of quiet to write a poem is impossible these days.” Sigh. “Come in.” “Mommy, guess what!” a daughter bringing vital news rhyming disruption inserted stupid self-narration—can’t stop it “I can make my eyes white!” “What?” I sit up in my chair to watch. she stretches her eyelids wide each eye rolls back—dramatic white! no iris or pupil found “Hah… Super cool. Your beloved great-gran, rest in peace, knew that same trick. It was eerie, but always made me smile.” “I know.” She whispers. “Huh? I never told you that.” “Great Gran told me. She’s back. Wanna see?”

Written like a memory! Kids can say some wild things. Not sure if it’s because I’m on my PC today instead of my phone but your site seems different. It looks great!

Thank you! Haha, kids can say some revealing things sometimes. Their minds are on another level.
Thank you for noticing the layout change, too! The themes are slowly getting better on WP I’ve noticed recently and the block editor isn’t as troublesome as I thought at first. Time well spent, I say. 😍

Thanks so much, Mike! Kids can be full of scary surprises sometimes 😄 Merry Christmas, my friend!🎄
Aww man..my brothers used to do that and told me they were possessed by our dead aunt’s and uncles. Freaked me out until my mum showed me how to do it. 😜 Loved this, Kirsten.
