I live my life as a …?

Posted on 26th March 2026 by NomadWarMachine

I am busy this week, and wishing I could switch off all of my work notifications and hide. So here’s my response to today’s TDC.

I live my life as a …?

If I lived my life as a cat
I could sleep all day, curled up on my mat

If I lived my life as a frog
I could hide away quietly, safe in a bog

If I lived my life as a bird
I could nest in a bush, unseen and unheard

But if I lived my life as a snail
I could try to hide, but I’d leave a trail

The Feeling of Silence

Posted on 25th March 2026 by NomadWarMachine

A poem for TDC5185

Silence is:

Watching the reflections of clouds dance over a calm loch

Sniffing petrichor through an open window after rain

Unsalted butter spread thickly on a toasted crumpet

And clean cotton sheets on a summer night

The Fish Doorbell fascinates me. I’ve never seen a fish on screen, but that does not stop me being mesmerised by it. Here’s my version for today’s TDC.

For today’s TDC I saw the tissue paper from my new DMs, folded ready to be put away in a drawer.
