Presenting You On This October, 2023 —

Thirteen twittles for Halloween, a task I’m pleased to undertake— except I’m already messing it up. A few words I must forsake!!!

Thirteen twittles more I’ll need, not counting these ones here — as life will quite too often be, Today, please be a seer with me.

Hey, who said nasal cavities
never put up 
a fight?? By the most recent one,
we've got
TWO full noses.

NOTE: All images from this point 
forward
were created following the 
poems 
themselves.

Now, without further ado, 
I present you 
with thirteen twittles 
for
Halloweeen!!!

Please enjoy--

1 — Death By Shingle Slide

Darling, may I have this dance? We must only fly to the roof. Come on, now I’ll take the first steps— and— ah!! You’re not shatterproof!!!

2 — Why No Cats Really Work at the Bank

When the hiring gets tricky, we reach outside the norm, pick out some monsters from a jar, and pray they may fill out the forms!!

3 — The Truth About Pumpkin Spice

Pumpkin spice was easy to conceive— cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves?? Leave a couple out! Watch them enter in droves.

Fig.10 — “a grand pumpkin spice latte, low key portraiture, 50mm lens, ray tracing, shadow depth, 16k” | Image Generated by Gustave Deresse | Writer; AI Artist in NightCafe; unedited

4 — Blood Soup

Blood, the ideal morning meal, enjoyed while family mourns. We watch them on the television; delinquents have a side of corn.

5 — On The Fun of Being A Headsman

Volunteers are the best, especially on slow days; sometimes, we have to catch up!! And so we advertise the headlessness craze.

6 — Vines

They rise high from the Earth, such longing, beautiful babies— catching all who enter unannounced, obliged for every ounce!!

7 — Whatever They Say

Hey, have you seen this knife? Legend says it has its own life. But don’t believe all you hear; this one, uniquely, tells much kife!!

8 — Why Cheaters Make Fine Dates

Betrayed too many times, I sought a solution beyond ordinary rhymes; so yes, now they’re date bread!!! Does that cross any lines?

Figs. 15–18 — “Moist Date Nut Bread Fantasy, low key portraiture, 50mm lens, ray tracing, shadow depth, 16k” | Images (I couldn’t pick just one!! Counting from top left, rightward then down and right again, which one do you like best??) Generated by Gustave Deresse | Writer; AI Artist in NightCafe; unedited

Inanimate tombstones, unexciting, unfitting your legacy, my love— why don’t you return, promptly? I’ll survey below, and above.

10 — The Truth About Low Branches

Some topics are an easy shock; consider violence, gore, or rape. Ya— to each their own, eh? My sensibilities are rather strained. 😬

Fig.20 — “the bloody negative of a tree, by Thomas Kinkade, Kandinsky, Jean Tinguely, 50mm lens, ray tracing, shadow depth, 16k” (not at all what I was going for, but kind of fell in love with it anyway, and high branches are cool, so it stays) | Image Generated by Gustave Deresse | Writer; AI Artist in NightCafe; unedited

12 — Before The World Burns

Find a tree, make it your home, serenely allow it to swallow you whole, for this Earth needs more food, and you’re the most tasty.

13 — When You’ve Lost Your Marbles!! 72 of Them, Precisely

A scary vampire moves in next door; you’d expect a serious issue, but now I’ve gained eternal life, and lost all will for warmth.

Fig.23 — “clawed hands offer a pile of marbles, by Javier Perez, William Harnett, 50mm lens photography, ray tracing, shadow depth, 32k” (none of the hands had claws, the fingers were all funky, I’m out of credits until tomorrow, and I’d rather not spend a fourth day on this) | Image Generated by Gustave Deresse | Writer; AI Artist in NightCafe; unedited

Greetings, fair reader, please feel my sincerest gratitude, perhaps as the heat of a fire, licking your face with certitude. Plus— I’d like to thank Carolyn Hastings for breathing life into my poor, stumbling carcass with this magic she dubbed ‘twittles’!!

Now for the perfect description of the art form I can offer you—

A twittle is a nutty poem in the class of a quatrain exactly one hundred alphabet letters a perfect workout for your brain © Carolyn Hastings 2022

The rhyming scheme is also meaningful. For more information, I’d point you to either — or both — of the two stories linked below—

Hey, wait a second!

For real—

Did Carolyn Predict or Cause Elon Musk Buying Twitter and Turning it Into X??

She wrote her plea in January, 2022, four months before Elon made his first offer to acquire the company. And his astronautics company, SpaceX, is still intended for Mars.

Is this a sign he’ll reply?

Am I grasping for loose leaves? Also an interesting read—

It’s too many coincidences, and you know it!! That said, why think about it too hard? If there’s anything here to uncover, someone else from Medium would make sense to solve it. Besides, have you even found the secret twittles yet?

One thing at a time.

¹By now, you know this is a lie.

And in case Elon Musk happens to be reading about this for the first time, and has yet to check out any of the relevant stories from Carolyn—

I know it is your ambition to have humans land on Mars by 2026. Thanks to your tweet, I too have an ambition. My ambition is to have one of those humans take a twittle to Mars!

I would be thrilled beyond words to have the opportunity to discuss this idea with you. To do so would be a testament to the truth in Cao Zhi’s poem — that humankind does best when we work together.

— Carolyn Hastings in ‘How Elon Musk’s Humankind Tweet Became A Twittle

This one’s actually from November, 2021!!! We still had Ev Williams as a CEO.

Hey, Ev!! Still a billionaire?

Please see me.

Which also makes me wonder now what may come of this story by Philip Ogley

Now that it’s on Carolyn’s mind, anything could happen. And remember, dear general reader, you’re delectable!

Yes— yes, read into it.

Please.

The author would like to
express their very real fear of 
someday being
required to qualify for all forms
of humour practiced,
particularly
where
regarding the habits and
standards of our good 
friends
and neighbours,
the cannibal 
people.

I’d also like to repeat an Elon quote, one of many shared by Carolyn Hastings in one of her preceding articles—

I think we have a duty to maintain the light of consciousness to make sure it continues into the future. Elon Musk

Now to exploit the alt text for all the images in this piece. Halloween, poetry, and Elon Musk everywhere!!

How UNHOLY—

I’d like to thank A Shayens Abran and the vigilant editors of the Be Open publication for having me back for yet another day.

NOTE: THE NEXT DAY, October 4th, 2023 @ 09:22 EDT

One of the problems with rushing your
work without peer reviews is you make
more mistakes.

This piece was never submitted to
Be Open. 🫣

It's too bad too, 
because it
would
have been
perfect.

It's on 
me.

P.S. You can find links to all my twittles, including a guide to creating them using only pen and paper, here. Also, there’s more on Carolyn Hastings being psychic. Essentially, each of the following stories was published on January 27th, 2023—

If only I hadn’t slept before publishing mine, then our stories would have been released perfectly synchronized!!

Alas, she beat me to the punch, by about ten hours. Whatever happened there, no one will ever know for sure. We’re even on opposite sides of the world.

You might not believe me.

I’d also like to thank Judy Derby for sharing her list of celebrities with a presence on Medium. 😁 I picked some of my favourites and tagged them in the wall.

Imagine if any of them show up!

Anyway—

Take care now, for real this time.
