Wild winds blow away the day's constraints, all the plants dance in approval. #inkmine #approve #senryu #haiku

Writer's block is like all the words get crammed to the sides and in the middle is a void but the void is screaming #mpprompt

I tend to lean in your direction, like a bloom bending toward light. #haikufeels #tend #senryu #haiku

I exist in two parts— one is  a coastline hammered by harsh thoughts, formulaic in their taunts, yet still obtaining power over me the other part is a witness, watching the waves falling over me as dispassionately as a neutral sky— can't all of me be of the heavens, caring less about the sea?

Writing poetry can be a messy business where the mind presents a mishmash of words, pure gobbledygook— as diverse as moonbeams and mangoes and from such a motley crew something new begins to emerge— finesse from fiasco creativity is, at times, the art of crafting gems out of bedlam. #inkmine

Night released one last nocturnal rasp, before dawn waved her light-filled wand. #weirdmicro #nocturnalrasp  #haiku #senryu

Church silence broken by organs beginning to play, all by themselves. #haikuhorrorprompt #organs #haiku #senryu

I no more wish to  exhume the remains of us finally at rest. #bedroomeyes #exhumetheremains #haiku #senryu @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

Little field mouse darts weaseling away sweet peas for his summer stash. #DailyHaikuPrompt #sweetpeas #weasel #haiku #senryu

An unlit signal within, inner warning light about to ingnite. #BSPP54 #unlitsignal #haiku #senryu

wrists bound by ink your sacred grace tempting scrawl a word a phrase the mind wanders I think about your lips your touch your fingers how they set skin on fire you are a million miles away I want you near #foxprose

His soul feels good on hers in this shadowbox of #midnight shivers, where twin candles pour flame on fire and #victory is a lovers’ tangle… soft gasps, faint as summer’s last breath only they can hear. #vss365 #poem #poetry

#vss365 #poetry Two thirds of a drunken star Hang from the cracked part Of my broken heart Strung by moonbeams Waiting to catch Like a trapping web Your driftwood help Other third to meld me whole A #falling star Twinkle twinkled where not meant to go

braving the storm, I find safe harbour in your heart soul no longer lost #harbor #7syllablesentence #harbor #HaikuFeels #lost #WildWalkPrompt #haiku #poetry #PoetryCommunity #WritingCommunity #PoetsOfBluesky #WritersOfBluesky

Paint us a river dappled shade, shimmering sun a lover’s picnic #DailyHaikuPrompt #paint

You're not him, but that's okay— he wasn't him either just a fantasy I made out of someone who changed when I wasn't looking by the time I turned around, he was different and we were never the same again. You're not him and that's okay— you're real. #mpprompt

As the music played my soul was elevated on soothing soundwaves. #haikufeels #elevate #senryu #haiku

It's few make it through the walls of my castle beyond the harsh sarcastic weeds of me, right to the centre where I bloom genuine but you my darling were an easy decision, no need for a hard won victory the door was open, the weeds cut back, enabling a fast track to my heart. #Vss365 #victory

His bitterness spread like a fungal contagion infecting them all. #weirdmicro #fungalcontagion #haiku #senryu

It squeezed through a hole no larger than a pinhead then grew gigantic. #haikuhorrorprompt #pinhead #haiku #senryu

I thought my heart was missing, I'd just forgotten, I gave it to you. #bedroomeyes #myheartismissing #haiku #senryu @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

Dawn painted orange, a tangerine sun, peeping   on the horizon. #DailyHaikuPrompt #paint #tangerine #haiku #senryu

A civic mirage, veneer of prosperity yet their souls, bankrupt. #BSPP54 #civicmirage #haiku #senryu

Think of my warm clutch as a sheltered safe harbor from all that storms you #haikufeels #harbor

Some things only music can fix so you put in headphones crash as loud as the storm it's needed, it's needed not wanted #poetry

@janpsolivagant.bsky.social this was a great prompt that took me right back to going with my dad to pick up his new retirement car. 16 years on I still have him, even though I no longer have my dad. #PromptCombo #MaidenVoyage #Poetry

For #promptcombo #maidenvoyage a little trip down memory lane to my very first pride experience Thanks to @janpsolivagant.bsky.social for hosting and to the whole #poetrycommunity here for making bluesky a great space #poetry #pride

I gamble my entire body on the taste of maladaptive coping. My hands are shovels that bury time alive in salt and sugar. I write epitaphs on chalkboards with teeth better suited to chattering than messages and pray I'm finally satiated. #vss365 #gamble #poetry

#Emoetry #frenzied #poetry #blueskypoet Those seconds when it or they may be gone, when you don't see them, her. An eternity? Here is a #poem...

oh, my darling burst these birds from out my chest soar them lithely luminous in fountains of feather and clamours of claw fill my wounds with scrivenings of sky till all my many bones ache from awe #poetry

Farewell to a Crow Might I live like you before I die? Soaring wild, landing only when I choose, unafraid to use my voice, to claim my place might I then fall like a comet from the sky, blazing out brightly then, I could perhaps die happy. Fly free, little soul. #mpprompt

I was a lonely voice in a crowded room, like a flower that had forgotten to bloom then you came in, took my hand, turned the lights on, made my heart race, made the world dance and now I'm loud as a sunflower. #AmpersandAfterDark #prompt @madp03t.bsky.social

#vss365 Imma raise a glass To a midnight choir Before the day ahead Takes its #gamble on me If I take a left or take a right A disaster maybe, maybe no Whichever way though I’ll go Right now I don’t even know, so I’ll let the clouds form, sun shine & minutes hum until the midnights choir

My arms around you wherever you are wherever you go my arms are home

You called me from a place beyond time, before I found this body & called it me we danced then in a starlit ballroom, where darkness held us in eternity when earth made us finite, we learned pain but the call was the same dance with me until the universe remembers we are stardust. #sensewrds 228

I'm a boat in the harbour, moored, gazing with longing, out to sea. #haikufeels #harbour #senryu #haiku

It was a frenzied sort of love, definitely by unreality— a fever dream in the end it was a gamble we lost yet a tattoo of you is etched across my heart with intricate skill some day we'll reunite at our usual place & share that goodbye we never really said. #Emoetry #frenzied  #vss365 #gamble

A short day made long at the waterfall, where time cascades endlessly. #DailyHaikuPrompt #waterfall #shortday #haiku #senryu

Glassless memory, no nostalgic sheen, just pain, sharp shards of the past. #BSPP54 #glasslessmemory #haiku #senryu

My dreams launched skyward, when the rain came, I danced in possibilities. #haikufeels #launch #senryu #haiku
