A quick black & white for #TheCompoChallenge, although I think B&W can make isolation a too easy, a bit like using a wide aperture.

synthetic starlight
through one small remaining copse
says - let us not
carry the weight of the world
when we could just
ski artificial snow
from melting mountain tops

national park betrayal
all that’s left is copse
and robbers

--

In the #copse of trees
sit quietly in the shade
relax and be still.

The word fugitive of some note
escape again from captivity
while enroute to literary prison

Grammar Nazi's were dispatched
to bring the fiend back to justice

The cops caught and recaptured the perp
hiding in a thicket of #copse
and proceeded to beat the shit out of me

I ain't sorry

“That day we went to the #copse & you fell from a tree, but wouldn’t cry,” said Jen.
“You remember that?” said Dan.
“You weren’t hurt but feared your brother would get the present you wanted instead of you so were dreading Christmas.”
“You think Mia feels like that?” #vss365

From my winter photo album.

More than 70 Russian missiles and more than a hundred drones targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Christmas Day https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russia-launches-christmas-day-attack-ukraine-rcna185388

The time has come for the first snow.

At times, it seems to me that all of the best things in life are now in the past.
