One of my favorites, and not just for the obvious reason.

In response to "Suzanne"

Always loved this song and his amazing way of writing about life, love and beyond.

I heard him in the early '70s in Brooklyn the first time.

Going to listen to this later 😃❤️.
What a beautiful share for today.
Nothing like lighting up souls!

I knew this one as a poem before I heard the song, and even without the music, I always thought it was amazing. Religious or not.

In response to "Oct 29 Plot revision"

How long have you lived in Beijing and Los Angeles? Are there better choices? There are China Towns everywhere. I think of two I've visited: Toronto and Lima. Ancient books are portable; ancient knowledge even more so.

Regardless, can you make the setting detailed enough so that it feels authentic?

Just thoughts.

In response to "Oct 19 Plot complications"

Will China come to Wolf? Is the riddle worth solving? Is LA worth saving? Are the monsters the true heroes?

Just being contrary but turning things on their heads can be helpful.

In response to "Oct 18 Cultural setting"

The idea that old myths can be relived in modern times is so ... Chinese! Or Korean. Gumiho = nine-tailed fox. This kdrama is highly rated (8.4):

"My roommate is a fairy fox" isn't as well done, but... it made me watch BL genre drama:

You'll find the opening similar to what you describe in that history and reality meet. It's worth watching if you have the time. The music is a bit of an earworm, just so you know.

In response to "Who is Wolf Meyer, main character?"

That is a great pic! But I have a question about his weakness. Is he too "thrusting" or too "trusting"? I mean, there's a little bit of a difference.

Bird’s Song

Watching

Hearing
The sound of chirping

Listening to the
whoohoo, whoohoo of the pigeon
chatter, cluck, clack of the chicken
cock-a-doodle-doo of the cock
cuckoo, cuckoo

hoot, hoot, hoot of the owl,
tu-whit-tu-whoo

twitter, tweet,

high up in the tree
or on the land
they stand
still

shriek, trill, quack

an everlasting dawn chorus
the song of birds

WC:58 / Lines:18
SP spin # 3. Write a poem with the title "Bird's Song"
