No Fuckery Here

It would have to be
Some kind of fuckery
To stop me from
The reaching of this goal
Which is to write of course
For the 19th day
Six good thousand words

 Though that ain't the part
Of this good streak
That fate would seemingly want
To up damn end
As twice I copied a
And b was pasted
Which is time but wasted

 Enough to make me drum my fingers
Yes on the desk
And loudly sigh
Why oh why
Did it have to happen now

 And yes you can scoff
Because the kind of reaction
That I would normally have
Is far less happy go lucky
And would have the anger simmering up
In the easiest of ways
For me to say
A word that rhymes with duck

 But I said no
I'll let it go
And get on with the writing
There's no sense in fighting
Such a minor thing
When I've word to write
And which is more important
To write the words
When I have the goodful time
And worry about the rest
When I have don my thing
Or goodly win
Only to stupidly lose

 And clearly tonight
I made the choice to write
Because here we are now
With me but finishing up
What I needed to write down

It would have to be
Some kind of fuckery
To stop me from reaching my goal
And though I look to blame technology
It would actually be me
In this damn case
If I went all stupid face
And worried about things
That well could wait

 So no fuckery came about
And I lived to shout
Hip hip hooray for me
I said no to being stupid
And wrote the words
That you're reading here
Before the final hour fell
Because if can do as well
As I have done
These last few days
Without the final hour
Than I am feeling my power
And that is good
Yes that is good indeed

Das Hier #50

Good morning humans. I hate the gravity of your world because it is hard on my back and my back has had enough of it and as a result, I woke up with a pain that that I cannot stand, so I am writing to you from the comfort of my bed. Though being true, because of the pain, there is no comfort but the comfort of escaping awareness through sleep. Hopefully I will find my way to sleep tonight because right now, it feels as though I will not. And you would be sure to read about it here if that was the case if not for one thing, I'm going to be stepping away from the blogging for the coming weeks. At the very least. It could be longer, but it will certainly be for at least three weeks. I know that I won't be missed too much as my small number of readers can attest to. What's going to happen with this blog? Drawings will be posted most days, but I have been in talks with a couple of writers, one alien and one human. Let me know in the comments which writer you...

It is painfully clear to me that I have been away from the words for far too long as I got caught up in the memoriams of humans that have made the pictures that they so love. I don't get their appreciation of these stories, because I find them too long and they often like to make followups. And to that idea I shake my head. Maybe it's odd that I think this as a writer, but it is how I feel. I don't even remember what I was going to write. Was I going to slam Dalton for calling me a quitter if I withdrew from the collective? He certainly deserves it, not that I hate him, but he was certainly an ass when he was dissing me for wanting the collective to succeed. But that was more than a half hour ago and that was too long for me to hold onto the thought that I had then. So I begin again.  Thoad stared in the sky, his mouth agape as the speed trail left behind by Merithee, remained vivid when she'd passed by more than five mi...

Wow, how is it so much brighter here than it was when I took the photo, with the lights or flash? Ugh. The science of nature am I right? I like this drawing a lot. Well, I'm not crazy about the pencil's beak, but apart from that, he's a good pencil and I will continue to draw them. Ideally with more colour choices  than the four that I currently have. But for now, however long now lasts, four will have to do. Spleck II will graduate past the black paper so that I have more choices. As for the little guy with his very own flag, he's a Pobadyd and all good Pobadyds have their own flags. Luckily for Poeth, there are many ways for a Pobaddyd to earn themselves a flag becuase there's really only one thing that Poeth is good at, since he's so small and easily beaten in all the physical ways that a Pobadyd can earn their flag. He's a brilliant public speaker and he saved a Pobadyd village with the finest oration...
