It snows metal on the planet Venus.

Wow – I haven’t been here for a long time again! I need to do something about this…the A to Z challenge is coming up and all I do is work, work, work. That is not a healthy lifestyle.
I promise I will be good whole of April 🙂

I’m here, I’m nowhere
The house itself is persecuted
into building walls of silence
which it must stand behind, locked in.
Locked inside myself, I haven’t given up.
Give me gibberish, babble, double talk –
let equivocation be sweet on my tongue!
Then a raven croaks:Â Nevermore!
The gleam vanishes off the world.
This blind, ravening century has put
its mark upon the very bread we eat.
Anything I say will be interpreted
by thugs. The cop on guard outside
is trying to get my spaniel to confess.

I would say I have been neglecting my lovely blog long enough…although it was for a good reason, but such is life. We can’t let anyone defeat us. And by ‘we’ (psycho alert!), I mean myself.Â
It is strange that just putting down these few words makes me feel better. {[Better doesn’t exactly express my state of being but I can’t think of a better (aargh!) word no, scratch that – suitable word]. (And yes, I think it is totally appropriate to apply brakes from mathematics to writing. Brackets are sexy.)}Â
So I need to get myself organized [the US loving auto-correct keeps changing it to organised (and it looks too soft without the z)]. Me thinks a new list is in order – new list of existing writing challenges. A to Z challenge anyone? That is the main one for the time being but there is also the new Fiction in 50 and all the beautiful Daily prompts I haven’t checked in (cliched phrase  alert!) what feels like ages. I have to look up the rest (too tired to do it now).
Also, it is the time of the lent. Or so I was told. My colleagues and friends are giving up things: alcohol, chocolate, cigarettes, using lifts etc. I gave up my cat. Not because it’s lent. Because she had cancer. Aggressive one. I miss her. She was the gentlest animal I have had the pleasure to meet….I guess I should have put ‘morbid alert’ in brackets before  writing this.Â
Anyways, random state of mind = random post. Be well.
