Frozen ground, wind whispers low,
Kite waits coiled, longing for sun,
Spring's song on a string.

Colorful wings soar free,
Dancing threads on winter breeze,
Dreams take flight against the gray.

Line cuts sharp across the blue,
Tiny speck against vast sky,
Kite whispers tales of spring.

Finally getting back to writing Book 5 of The Silk Rope Masters. It's slowly coming together - all those green lines mean I'm happy with the chapter for the time being.
I had hoped it would have been completed by now but Cancer stuffed up my progress. I'm still trying to get used to the many side effects from radiation and drug therapy.

I'm right chuffed to see "The Dent in the Universe" has made it onto Nerds of a Feather's 2024 Hugo Award Recommendation List for Best Novel. I don't know how I rose to their attention but it is a tremendous honor to be on that list alongside the likes of Salman Rushdie and Martha Wells.

Is this real life?

Haiku:
hustle and hustle,
city teems life and light,
alone in a crowd.

Not a haiku:
london buzzes about
buses, tubes, and planes rumble,
past, under, and above me.
people packed shoulder to shoulder shuffle,
by a secluded patch of green,
where i sit, think, and be
welcomingly lonely.

the second poem was inspired by my time in london at lse where from time to time I would sit in queen square gardens.

a review of kobold kody's frontier exposition and tonic show, by sean 5 stars - fun read! So, I came across the book in a weird way. This author happens to frequent a small Twitch stream that I frequent. I wasn't expecting much from the book but very quickly into it I was very intrigued and had a great time through the whole book. I hope the author puts out some more fantasy. I'd love to hear more about the Empire in the book which is just something in the background.
