The space that welcomed me and saved me from myself.
The space that allowed me to feel whatever I felt in the moment.
The space that let me take a breath freely, when I, myself, didn't let me simply be.
This journey's over, new one's about to begin.
Thank you, dear art club, for letting me exist.
It was a sunny day, a close to my birthday.
The spring was arriving.
The nature was awakening.
I felt more alive.
Sun was kissing the flowers in front of me.
I watched them dreamily.
They glowed before my eyes.
I was enchanted.
Pick 'n' mix: a sketch to match my poem. Day 1 and my first try at Inktober. A slightly different take on 'Ring', perhaps. Repost with alt text.

The boxing bell sounds;
I step out into the ring.
As I hit, he kneels.

Day 2: Mindless? I certainly felt it. More of a doodle than anything... Now with free haiku!
/
Brainless not mindless.
Sure, don't mean you can trust me...
Decide for yourself.

Day 3: Bait. To reel 'em in. Another poem to go with my sketch and I'm falling for Inktober. Hook, line, and sinker.
/
My heart on a hook,
Such sweet bait to catch a crook.
My soul on a string.

Day 4: Freeze. Couldn't get this out of my head today.
/
Bright noise, Loud lights flash.
Freeze! Hands up, Down on the ground.
Mess of cops and kids.

Day 5: Build. This took me a while, I was stuck until early on Monday morning, London in rush hour - not usually the most inspirating time and place - when, walking into Trafalgar Square with the beat of the Samba band drumming at my back, I suddenly felt that things were things were finally, actually, changing.
Rebels everywhere, thank you.
/
turn up, build a band:
from that, a movement rises.
We Are The Water.

Day 6: Husky. Getting my flu jab next week! Vaccinate yourself and your kids, people! Been out in the rain all week and haven't got sick yet so long may that luck last, but I ain't about to rely on something so fickle when the wonders of Science!™ can help me.
Also, Calpol makes me nostalgic, so, yeah...
/
Her voice husky with
Flu season and cigarettes -
Drink your medicine!

Day 7: Enchanted. No longer sure why my brain catalogued this as Extremely Urgent To Be Written Down Immediately falling asleep a week ago but I have done as commanded by forces beyond my control in the realms of my subconscious. Perhaps I was unwittingly enchanted...
/
ENCHANTED NUMBERS
FALL INTO PLACE LIKE GRAVESTONES;
TRAGIC AND HEAVY.

Day 8: Frail. Except nah, frail has too much of weakness in it for me, so actually let's use fragile instead. Because breakable doesn't mean broken, and broken doesn't mean unfixable. Not so much a Plot Twist as a loop-the-loop going on with the haiku. And yep, it's late for Inktober! Start where you can, stories are circles.
/
HELL yeah I'm fragile.
As a fucking FREIGHT TRAIN, girl.
Made brittle by rust.
