A wave of calmness rocked my wild desires, a call of contentment mocked my broken parts— saying you can be wild & messy, you can be feral & free— yet still contained, whole. Held together by the invisible threads of all that life has gifted me. #RetroArtPrompt Week in 1

A poet's nightmare #bewildered, flapping like a #penguin, within a #wordless #coffin #veering off a cliff into non #sense, unable to #relate thought to sentence, raising a cold sweat upon my skin— it happens every now & then. #WildWalkPrompt #Emoetry #vss365 #vssmagic #vssdaily #2wordprompt

All the show is gone A housefly flits round the room Announcing springtime. #DailyHaikuPrompt #snow #housefly #haiku #senryu

Had a nightmare, of Never getting back to you Then woke in your arms. #bedroomeyes #NeverGettingBack #haiku #senryu @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

Wraith of memory A chilly shadow creeping Dark cloud on my thoughts. #BSPP49 #ChillyShadow #haiku #senryu

A storm brewing, that Blinkered beast opens its eye Unleashing fury. #weirdmicro #BlinkeredBeast #haiku #senryu

We wandered in the purple dusk, as if swept away on a gentle current removed from the express train of every day— that waking nightmare of too fast too loud too much— of everything allowed, for a moment, the leeway to b r e a t h before facing another day. #inkmine

In answer to a #poetryprompt hosted by @malformed-poetry.bsky.social "Death of A_" #poetry #poetrycommunity #writing #writingcommunity #mpprompt #Deathofa @blueskypoetry.bsky.social

𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐲 We are gathered here today to say goodbye to yesterday what is done cannot be undone what is lived cannot be erased what shaped us is a mould we can't reframe but today, tomorrow, we may grow & love & change so say goodbye to yesterday, it is gone & done away. #mpprompt

Never quite all in Forever a hitchhiker In my own story. #haikuhorrorprompt #forever #hitchiker #haiku #senryu

Don’t think apartness breaks what hearts have made. The sun will span all space to warm the stone, So too does love traverse each distant shade, For I am with you when you are alone. #vss365 1/5

The river folds its wisdom into bends, A quiet creed the patient waters keep. It runs where thought grows drowsy and descends Into the trust that learns itself in sleep. Its murmur tutors stone in gentler art, That God moves most where patience strains the heart. #vss365

You are the blush of summer's kiss upon my face You are the fresh snow under my feet when winter clings upon all things you are the endless depth of night, the stars dancing across my skin you are in everything— always touching, feeling, reaching out to me. #faesense #freshsnowunderyourfeet

My fingers tremble with the kiss of your skin lightning flashes burning want searing to the touch desiring only to transmute your sorrows into ecstasy #poem

Affectionate, yet Willful, tenacious feline, Soft fur, killer claws. #emoetry #affectionate #willful #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social

Astral alignment, Unstoppable forces had Led to this moment. #SolSeed #AstralAlignment #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @arwashington.bsky.social

Dancing to a track You shared once upon a time Ghost hands on my waist. #haikufeels #track #haiku #senryu

I promise myself Not to think of you all day Yet dream you, all night. #bedroomeyes #IPromiseMyself #haiku #senryu @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

We saw each other there across a busy room and there was nothing but a look to communicate the endless passion, the unsaid prayers, the hands that would touch, the lips that would kiss— all hung heavy in the air between us and then he was gone. #poem #poetry

The smell of roasting Chestnuts, steady sheen of rain Bruges in wintertime. #DailyHaikuPrompt #Chestnuts #Rain #haiku #senryu

I reached to him then His hand, a glimmering branch Link to life, love, light. #BSPP49 #GlimmeringBranch #haiku #senryu

In kind company I, a confession engine, Spilling my secrets. #weirdmicro #ConfessionEngine #haiku #senryu

I have known trees bowing at the river’s edge loving their own reflection & others lifting their glory into the cheeks of the sun I have also seen those reduced to a fine-boned #murmur boughs pressed together rooted too long in the earth of men with throats gone dust dry #vss365 #poem #blueskypoets

Please forgive me when I #bumble #affectionately, please ignore my indecipherable #murmurs, show mercy when my fingers are #woven, tense it is only because the words fail me to convey just what you mean to me trying to #curb my feelings is futile since I #view you #through a lens of pure beauty.

A pulse mirrored across the divide of sleep. We wove the mist into a wire, tightening the "us" until it snapped into a sentence. The dream died to become this. #ও☉❢☉✑ #poetry #writing #micropoetry #blueskywriters #writingcommunity

#vss365 #dapple #poetry This isn't even really a poem. It's just a thing, but things have been heavy, and this word sounds silly, so it's silly. That's ok too. 😁 Anyway, here's a ... poem?

#emoetry #willful #poetry I am too tired for blurbs, so here is a #poem

she has filled herself to the b r i m of her breath with moon-song and the way the wind feels when it almost but not quite carries you away from all this #poetry

#vss365 #dapple I have been gone a long long time Now I return to the evening light One sun That sun set That sun rose Through no fault of its own All the way down the years Until I found myself home Here again In the evening All the sunshine's golds, reds and yellows Dappled in the evening shade

Vulnerability takes courage #ThreeWordGenre #reckoning (moment of truth)

Looking out at stars Looking in at my sad heart And there, I find you. #haikufeels #look #haiku #senryu

#PoemsAbout #TimeSlips @thebrokenspine.co.uk I will put a reading in the comments.

#MPPrompt Watched the different creatures Who inhabited my caves Big cats, bears, wolves, goats, sheep How they cared for their young How they attacked each other Then came the ones without fur Worried how they would survive When it got extremely cold Amazed when they made fire

what if i were to tell you the true story of me, that my heart is made from dappled sunset sighs, my soul is made for starry moonlit nights, & all of my smiles all of my hopes & dreams are just for you, always for you... my muse,    my love,       my everything. #vss365 #dapple #poetry #poem

#poetry #MPPrompt Born of molten fire was I bursting free as layers of stone twisted & split Now cool is my heart my form sliding down with years rounding & grooving in rain & rivers Watched have I trees reaching many animals birth & grow longed for the wings of the birds that slide past my crags

Shrouded in shadows, unlit constellation stirs, cosmic potential #WeirdMicro #UnlitConstellation #haiku #writing #writingcommunity #micropoetry

whispered words— two-edged delight, double entendres a gentle brush against the heart, dancing in moonlit night; lips curving secrets into meaning— caressing echoes g l i d e beneath the line, where longing meets your playful mind. 1/2 #poetry

stay. it matters that you stay #haiku #poetry #senyru

The humans? I remember them, They started slow, steady even— before it went wrong they swarmed they massed they built they took & took before turning on themselves we used to laugh the trees & I when the trees were still here, before humans blew it all up I don't miss them but I miss the trees.

No regrets? He asked. One, I said, can't turn back the clock, do it again. #bedroomeyes #TurnBackTheClock #haiku #senryu @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

The lights off in me An unlit constellation 'til he lit the match. #weirdmicro #UnlitConstellation #haiku #senryu

I like spending time in that middling place— that short-stay #motel, where I can simply exist in #willful defiance of meeting life #targets where the soundtrack doesn’t #pound but beats #tame where I can simply watch the sun #dapple the sheets and smell the #violets.

Howling winter gales push melancholy into the cracks of my soul #haiku

Sheltered by infinity #ThreeWordGenre #horizonless (without boundary)

Another Friday, another #PoemsAbout. Welcome one and all. A difficult theme, #TimeSlips, for me anyway. At the point of giving up something appeared. It's about the feeling; nothing specific. A first draft. Too vague perhaps. @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk #PoetsOnBluesky
