- Ode to the Sea of Fog From the Imperial crown he will splice the world and oversee in his green overcoat the fogs, while his cane grips hold of the winds. Such a flurry gently caresses his hair. Are his dreams on the Elbe or a loved one waiting for him? (1/2) Casteleijn MG (C) 2025 #poem
- So his thoughts wander as he levels on the Sea of Fog, das Nebelmeer, anchored by the circle-stone, and we let him be and get lost in the wind, while we slowly step down the hill, past the trees and catch a final glimpse of the dreamer and wait for him. (2/2) Casteleijn MG (C) 2025 #Friedrich

- I will never understand people like her, of course this is preposterous. Also, I do not have the energy to start inventing what my wife should do every minute of the day, let alone thinks of stuff I should do for myself as well (my wife helps me with that :) The bible was still written by men...

- This was my first try at some #horror writing. It has too many words for this great platform. The nightmare in this short story was one I had when I was a child and this story is born from it... Enjoy! #WritingCommunity rockshelter.wordpress.com/2014/01/14/r...

- FUN FACT: Trump’s popularity has plummeted to a new low — 56% of Americans disapprove of his performance, compared to only 42% who approve. The new AP-NORC poll shows Trump to be the most unpopular second-term president in history.
- The semi fact that so many approve these policies and attack on Democracy is very scary...

- The passion and truth is amazing. I am 53 and I cannot stand for 3 hours in a row. Truly heroic. Now democrats and republicans who are not fascists: step up!
- I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
- Do not read this reply: keep talking and thank you. Next time when someone gets thrown out by the speak, you must all leave together :D Fight fascism with every fiber of your being...
- WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language. The results tell us a lot! Extracts below... 🧵

- write it, and watch it crash. Re-assemble the pieces into something new and unexpected. Scaffolding is only temporary anyway :D
- A scaffolding poem is hanging in my throat now :D
- Heavily inspired by Rabindranath #Tagore and his poem in the #Gitanjali: rockshelter.wordpress.com/2019/04/18/t... It feels heavier now than when I wrote it in 2019... "...Are these the times, just a sigh, breathless, the Universe forgot?..." #poem #resiliencehope #resilience #poets
- It came to me just now, while I took a sauna alone, but also with my friend that passed. A beer, just talk, and #philosophy, such an iconic mirror lost. Such a loss. A start of a #poem entered my mind and a call to #action: Embrace Resilience in Hope Share your poems that embody #ResilienceHope
- Inspired by #fire @malformed-poetry.bsky.social Such a cunning weaver I am the remainder of the ashes with all virtues lost or now hidden? Where in this darkness will I find my sun, my light. I will not seek, no more! It has transformed me. (cont...)

View full threadDreaming of dousing their fire, sparks jump from their eyes, wicked on my, my sun, my light. I will not seek, their gaze on my breast. No more! A beggar brings dreams, so foolish. (cont...)
- They jump before my eyes, wickedly move me to the heavens. Longing for my sun, my light. I will seek no more, Ulisse in the heavens before me! I am the remainder of the ashes. (c) Casteleijn. M.G. 2025 #poetryprompt, #writercommunity, #writing
- All virtues lost! Now hidden is my Dream. Doused by fire, sparked by the sun, the light. I will not seek, no more! It will demolish me. I turn my eyes away from the sea. (cont...)
- @fiftywords.bsky.social This is the one I was talking about, hope you like this music induced poem: -To and Fro I quiver ' The slow strum, the deep hum hanging in my heart cavity, as the waves slide, as the water's bend and blend with my tears. Aside, abide, and hide. (1/2) (c) 2016-2025

- Breathable words of the blues, unhindered riptides in the cove of listeners, snapping their fingers. Oh, we play, we play. We keep the deep undercurrents at bay and I forget my sins, and slowly, slowly Salvation sets in... (c) Casteleijn 2016 - 2025
- Aaah, hear the sweat lullaby fleet from my tongue, rippling past the mortar, bricks, tricks and licks of those calloused fingers waiting no longer, not a second. (actually 1 of 3)
