Atypical you melting my shyness with your most curious mind Melancholical you painting desires with medleys of your longings Whimsical you creating laughter out of my thin blue mood Paradoxical you taking my breath away while giving me life #SenseWrds 146

I'm ever at the mercy of the full moon's cruelty last time she took too much from me, pulling at the tides of my dark moods like puppet strings — no care for my pains the sun took pity & lessened her light— as she wanes in remorse, I take the respite until the next full moon night. #mpprompt

My heart was once a single piece, beating to a bewitching rhythm but feelings fractalise— parts given or broken, a dispersed tapestry, its cadence now shaky the museum within aims to gather the fragments but they no longer belong to me let them stay where they lay. #sensewrds 146

A Dali-esque dream Of temporal distortion All the clocks melting. #WeirdMicro #TemporalDistortion #haiku #senryu

A terrible weight Unforeseen romantic crush Heavy on the heart. #haikufeels #crush #haiku #senryu

Irrational fear Of fungal disease madness Zombie film trauma. #haikuhorrorprompt #fungal #haiku #senryu

A sweet scent of pine Rich forest of memory Christmas walk in woods. #DailyHaikuPrompt

Leaves falling in my mind & I conjure an image— you by my side a kiss like winter, lands on my lips— taste of goodbye we cry & cling as if by holding on we can save this damned & broken thing yet we feel the parting— us slip away like leaves on the breeze on that quiet, cold December evening.

My old cracked floorboards Echoing chinks in my soul, Each needing repairs. #BSPP47 #CrackedFloorboards #haiku #senryu

The wonder of dreams, Bridges into deeper realms, Love crossing over. #PennedReveries # #haiku #senryu

She calls to me behind an opaque mirror, but all I hear is a vague #echo refracted through glass— it's colour, ominous, texture of threat, a regret from the past I can't quite interpret I wish to tell her it's too late— I've lived it yet she can't hear me either #RetroArtPrompt

Life goal: disguise as Leprechaun; green suit, short height Find large pot of gold. #vss365 #2wordprompt #BlueSkyRelay #haiku #senryu #goal #leprechaun #height #suit

Dawn swipes a #yellow #stripe across a #crisp morn as the city #aches awake— footsteps whisper over fallen leaves, the river spills softly under a bridge as the air breathes quiet in the absence of breeze I capture a #photo of a city mid-yawn as it'll be wide awake when I'm on the way home.

Oh, just between us um, maybe and possibly I am keen on you #haikufeels #keen

The rhymthmic rattle of train over track— a soothing soundtrack, as we pass the park layer of frost over on the grass— a gossamer sheen strewn by winter's hand the scene, a serene wonderland I snapshot the calm as soon the peace will be replaced by city concrete & a crowded station. #MPPrompt

Put creepy film on, Jump scare, right into his arms— Hot trap, wicked laugh. #haikuhorrorprompt #jump #haiku #senryu

A grim storm within Whistling low like a keen wind Though my soul's cavern. #haikufeels #keen #haiku #senryu

Thoughts chug same old tracks Though they are worn and rusty Time for some new routes. #DailyHaikuPrompt #rust #Haiku #Senryu

My words #tremble, faltering under my pen falling from my brain like coins cascading from an open purse I watch them roll down the drain, helpless to stop them writers block is back again. #RetroArtPrompt

A word mechanic Obsession- a logophile Makes his engine tick. #WeirdMicro #MechanicObsession #haiku #senryu

We started over with one another but we forgot to leave the past behind we wove them together, past, present & future— into now this moment we have with each other we savour it like Thelma & Louise, before driving off a cliff together yet even doom with you is heaven to me. #Bedroomeyesprompt

When in self-doubt's grip, Your faith low, please remember I believe in you. #PennedReveries #IBelieveInYou #haiku #senryu

Mirror to the past A shimmering reflection Of who I once was. #BSPP47 #ShimmeringReflection #haiku #senryu

I was #wealthy with vitality, rich as a field of red #poppies bobbing in spring 'til I sensed that #Banshee #lurk ing, she #issu ed a warning— a death coming And I felt the #fade begin— aliveness #bend ing then dumped in the #bin I try to conjure #emotion for anything but all I find is dejection

My angel intends My devil has other plans I watch them argue. #InkMine #Intend #Haiku #Senryu

Return to sender No emotional blackmail Address is unknown. #WeirdMicro #EmotionalBlackmail #haiku #senryu

The fallen leaves spin— twirling, twisting, cascading d o w n ward chasing my dreams into hidden realms, my desires whispered into their spiraling v o r t e x a foliage helix, wished away on the wind to bring my words straight to him. #MPPrompt

Naughty thoughts lurking Illicit urge to ravage A chocolate bar. #haikuhorrorprompt #lurking #Haiku #Senryu

Everything takes longer than I think it will take except you taking my breath away

Sweet scent of magnolia drifts, I drift with it back to that hotel room, do you remember? Flowers on the side table you held me close, we slow danced, swaying to music that you played on your iphone You told me it wouldn't be the last time so my heart waits for you there in that old hotel room.

Sick of classic roads Let's escape the beaten tracks Live life off the grid. #DailyHaikuPrompt #classic #road #haiku #senryu

Worries gnaw at me Feeding on my happiness Like vampires of joy. #haikufeels #gnaw #haiku #senryu

I had a #premonition of him as if his soul were an #echo from another place & time it set fire to my desire like a candle #light that #trembled then burst into flame whether by #malign #occultism or a #neutral force of the universe, I sought to bring him into being. #RetroArtPrompt Week in 1

Lots of hand gestures Silent laughs, soft whispered thanks, A library chat. #BSPP47 #WhisperedThanks #haiku #senryu

Emotional flood, Impassioned river of tears Letting feelings flow. #PennedReveries #Impassioned #haiku #senryu

A reciprocal fire in her eyes a requited want in her bones a sympathetic ache in her heart a wistful melancholy in her soul a deep hunger indistinguishable from mine she is pure desire #poemsabout #desire @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

I #bridle my desires so I can't be #victimised #with my own excesses, that #Morrigan locked in a #room of my #design yet she's a clever shapeshifter, slippery as water, she can #swim where she likes, #transporting easily to a shadow realm of sins she commits lightly as a #pillow held over my face.

From deep down within A primal, bestial cry Dark desires to feed. #haikuhorrorprompt #bestial #haiku #senryu

All my ghosts have bones they grind within me ceaselessly— arthritic rattle in the marrow, aches that can't heal, old hurts harrowing the soul they haunt like curses cast over past mistakes— chains I wear, hammered by my own hands as if self-damnation is the route to salvation. #MPPrompt

We cast words like magic spells, as if we could parlay with the past to reset the dial of destiny but serendipity doesn't spin retrospectively, time doesn't work that way we can only replay our own sad story, & wish wistfully that we're happy on a branching strand of reality. #sensewrds 145
