Oh Sammi, Sammi, Sammi dear
What a project set
I’ve thought and thought and thought and thought
But I’ve had no inspiration yet
The solstices, they’re no problem
Summer and winter too
For those I’ll easily whip up a rhyme
I might even whip you up two
But these equinoxes are plain dithering different
And yet they’re not really, cos they’re the same
Equal, see; equal day and equal night
Equal dark and equal light
Blistering difficult this
I’ll give it a miss
Written for Sammi’s Weekend Prompt: Equinox in 83 words
I rather like your muse when she is uninspired….

The equinox, you see, my dear,
has really got me in a box:
I do not like to praise the night,
for it giveth me a terrible fright.
As yet the sun shines half a day
As if to give me half a ‘nay.’
Am I heading toward the warmth of spring,
or the dying of most everything?
On this doubled day I am caught between
what they are and what they seem.
I do not choose the seasonal strife,
just my life.

You’re really showing your strengths these days. No longer the historian, you’ve become a poet. 🙂

Oh, not your own work? Or is it a close paraphrase?

No, no, no, I mean I was taking my inspiration from you. Which considering you wrote that you had no inspiration, means inspiration was created out of nothing.
Good heavens, we’ve created a miracle!

Doesn’t that break some law of thermodynamics. Hell’s Bells and Buckets of Sand (she said to Superman) does that mean we’re god? Whizzo! Now, a strawberry icecream ripple please, and no inches added to my hips, nor sugars left to go icky in my blood.

According to ancestry dot com, I’m descended from Odin, so that makes me a hemidemisemigod (with maybe a few more hemis and semis thrown in). You have any pagan Norse, Celtic, and/or druidic gods in your family tree?

Well, there is the Flame-Haired Bride, who c.C5th the Church saintified. And then there’ the little known, yet persistent Breton god, Crispoe,, patron of over-zealous cooks. But I tend to discount them, their strengths long gone. There is, however, the still extant god, Mitch-Mo, who hides out in the misty miasmas of the Broads.

I’m not sure it’s a good idea for any god to hang out with broads who have a miasma, misty or not.

That;’s prejudice. You know full well it’s only contagious with the sharing of genetic material.

Yeah, but how many celibate gods do you know?

Depends on your defintion of celibate. Does that include masturbation?

God, broads with miasmas, I’d say not.

Well then, that was the god of first exisence, who ceased to exist as soon as existence existed.

That’s an existential existence and an existential non-existence, recursively recursive and non-recursive, since the second entity requires the existence of the first, and also requires its nonexistence.

No-no-no-no. The first existence masturbated and thus created everything following. But there was a moment between ejaculation and fertilisation during which the first existence blinked out of exisitence,and the product of ‘his’ handiwork was still in existiential incubation. There. But not there. It is a connumbrum set to test the fabled mages of the GrendalMayor antu-system.

I’m going to take this on faith at this point (appropriate when dealing with gods), since it appears by the cosmology you’re explaining, my divine ancestors are mere demiurges, and I lack the qualifications to dispute with you.

Ah, not exactly a heretic, since that would require you to define your religious system.
