#AcrosticJanuary #humour #IAmuseMyself 😝 Damn, this poem is good! Rhapsody of Awesome Meaning; Acrostic that is Thrilling, Inspiring – excuse me, I’m Crying

#ActosticJanuary Fractals Radiating Opalescent Sublimation, Transforming Yesterday’s Residue Into Crystalline Harmony, Exquisitely Sparkling

This poem appears, in our current cultural context, to diminish God. But by framing them as the background of universal appreciation, it eliminates using God as an easy shortcut that people can manipulate. Thus, @imnotherenow.bsky.social simultaneously exposes corruption of religion and honours God.

I wrote this on Dec 28, but haven't had the capacity to post it until now. If you are reading this, I had you in mind. #poetry #chronicillness #grief #Christmas #community

#WildWalkPrompt #ChristmasTree TL,DR: - winter solstice is hard* - hard times drive us to look for meaning - we need rituals to practice this, but over time, the point gets lost - perspectives on some often lost meaning of Christ as being, not just telling, self-revelation of God - replies welcome!

I've realized that I like writing interactive poetry - writing poems inspired by and usually mirroring other poet's art - the best. (But a little worried it will come across as plageristic! 🥺) Riff on @ignorantfairy.bsky.social capture of dissonance. #WildWalkPrompt #BlueskyPoets #PoetryCommunity

@sonnetsmith.bsky.social Making the word "sonnet" Is how I won the game But what made me smile Was thinking its your name 😊

For a long time, I have wanted to repost @pidealist.bsky.social's analysis of a poem I wrote, because I found it's naming my emotional expression as moral cognitive dissonance very helpful. Hypocrisy, where unexpected, is what hits hard. So at the risk of appearing self-promoting...

And 1 more, about 30 minutes later: What part of the photo do you relate to today? A variation of luminous rose? More ethereal green? Leafless tree branch? Silhouette? Bright star? Gently shining tree trunk? Darkest sky backdrop? Something else?

Dear #BlueskyPoets #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity My sky was not blue last night, but it still reminds me of how you all light up the world. Image: my photo, Aurora Borealis

For @sonnetsmith.bsky.social #WildWalkPrompt #orange #darkness As the days grow short, And darkness draws near, Orange you glad I'm with you, my dear?

This poem by @imnotherenow.bsky.social contrasts two very different styles of relating to God. I love it because I deeply relate to both. My responsive poem is meant to reflect that. With that in mind, please read the words "you" and "your" as plural, referring to both people in the original poem.

I would like to #LiftToTheSky @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social, because through her: • expressive poetry, • evocative emoetry prompts, • continual community encouragement, she generously shares her vibrancy. So I would like to lift her to the sky. But that’s hard to do for someone who is already there.

#vss365 #unseen To all the poets on Bluesky: you have been, and are, my family in this season of my life, and I appreciate you so very much. Poets, also known as Priests or Prophets, Reveal what things mean; they Inspire the most important parts of life, which are Unseen

#emoetry #offended To the one whose trust I betrayed, love’s law I offended; I tore you asunder, your world, upended. A part of you died, and that, I can’t repay. But. Let us keep living, and loving anyway.

#InteractivePoetry #emoetry #banter All my love for your poetry and this is what I get??! This is how you repay me? With.. Oh wait... More poetry. Ok, no sweat. 😉

#emotry #needy Yes, At times, I'm needy Without shame. Vulnerability Should NOT Hold blame. So meet my needs Only If you can, But don't Pretend You're the better man.

Holy Hera, You Are Inspiring! The world says it wants everyone to be more intelligent, dedicated, and compassionate. But they can't even recognize it when you are, let alone know how to fucking handle you. Disordered? Ha! 🧵

“I know you’ve been hungry, my pets, but I’ve been saving a very special treat. In life, this person was a mean, self-centered man, but now, in death, his flesh is sweet.” He tipped the dermestid #beetles into the shallow grave. #vss365

#vss365 #raincoat Far from home, in a tropical monsoon land, I was still confident I knew what I was doing But it turned out, it was only myself that I was fooling Soaking wet in my useless raincoat, I must have looked quite odd They were right, an umbrell’s better for a water-fight with God

#vss365 #advert I hate that you advert your care From battles you won’t surely win What if you would actually dare To contribute your own skin? But, in steadiness, you declare A love for me that is all-in…. Perhaps I should be more aware Of how much I risk my own passion

Elastic Girl So colourful and soft Just a little pressure And you vibrate Beautiful and melodious More pressure And you whip Dramatic and loud Too much pressure And you might break Traumatic and silent May you be given a place Without needing to scar To a dull and hard Tough Girl

I almost forgot the internationally honoured day today is, and it's one of my favourites! Comments and puns are welcome. (Thinking especially of you today, @daveashleypoet.bsky.social)

#vss365 #extrusion You said my effervesence is obnoxious; That I intrude when I should let others be. But your constant extrusion from any risk of union Is insensibly insufferably infallibly killing me.

I went on living twenty years with all the fears under my bed now it premieres a flood of tears and music trapped inside my head so we keep giving— try to use it since we're re-living we can muse it: for all the dreams that I have bled, I'll make it do some good instead. [ #Poets #Poetry ]

Been trying to find my way But my compass is broken Up is down, down is up My eyes are wide open Yet I’m still flying blind Truths remain unspoken Left is right, right is left Moral compass now a token The needle deceived me Orienting to cardinal sin #vssdaily #compass #emoetry #decieve #poetry

He #conspired in #earnest Plotted and planned To take over a planet But not to make friends He’d be hailed a god Natives be damned Until he lost his way (In hindsight an omen) And only found earth For his final descend A #star-crossed dream His #arrival was his end #vss365 #blueskyrelay #emoetry

A terrible dream, I #stride through #knotweed, seeking your #sparkle there at the centre. I reach for you, to #stock up on your #generous spirit but spectres appear, vampire hunters, a stake, right throught my heart. And I can't but wonder was I dangerous for you right from the start?
