A twiglet is a short phrase. Its aim is to “prompt” a flow. A thought. If something comes to mind, write. A polished piece isn’t the goal; creativity is. Leave a link, if you’d like your work read, but comments should not be expected.
Talisman, taliswoman, talischild –
I hold hands believing in the magic wood
of fingers and knuckles –
fisticuff lockets of hair,
and worrisome teeth.
Bone holdings –
what you can know in the dark
then sow like seed corn
over furrowed dreams,
grow into amulets
of uncertain charm.
[…] Twiglet 138 glow in the dark […]

It’s time to bring back glow in the dark posters. If we can recycle everything else from the 60’s and 70’s, it’s overdue!

I wonder if I would ever paint my ceiling black again. My mother was horrified.

Rituals of the Druids? Or any in a candle mass… or a coven of fae?
Yes… there is magic in holding hands and dreaming.
