subway koan train roars like a steel throat clearing we sit shoulder-to-shoulder strangers earbuds sync to different eternities graffiti saints drip halos over rust and the question is always the same: when the doors open who are you? #poetry

This is not a poem about love I want to be torn in half by a creature with painted nails heart devoured through satin lips Let her be foolish believe in useless things like equality Let her not know stars love trashy shows & still believe poetry is only a pretty pink pathetic thing #MPprompt

sombre sky drifts low / sweet crocus breaks through the frost / violet defiance chilly chorus swells / your touch lingers on the bark skin / spring waits in silence #DailyHaikuPrompt #HaikuPair

Matrix comes from the Latin for womb, mother, source. This poem is not about absence, but the silence of listening. Not gone, only unheard. She waits. She pulses. We forgot how to hear her. #PoemsAbout #SilentPlanets @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

For this week's #PoemsAbout #SilentPlanets, I'm thinking about human limitations. Thank you to the host @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk and to all of the other writers. #poetry #poem #writing #PoetryCommunity #BlueSkyPoets

Next poem from Issue 6 evoked visceral #nostalgia for me — I was right back in my nursing chair with my first newborn, feeling the contractions and the sleepiness and the overwhelming, sacrificial love. And the clarity that can come from that. Mother’s Shadow by @vignettes.bsky.social

Take a walk over bridge where trees and cloud move and sway, where up is down in passing puddles, reflecting leaves turning brown, you're on your way, on your way They say Catching train, heading south Alone and unbound, onward to London Town

Another week passed. The mirrors grew teeth, breath fogging their hunger. I counted them at dusk— my fingers trembling. Tongues lapped my shadow. Glass veined with crawling light. The floorboards pulsed— a second heartbeat, waiting. For mine to falter. #prompt 390 #FromOneLine

I am thrilled to have a piece published in Issue 6 & overcome the hurdle of audio recording. Like many things, the idea was worse than the reality. Support from @thebrokenspine.co.uk poets encouraged me to submit. Thanks to all of you & the gentle guidance of Kristin @epistemiclit.bsky.social 😁

Called often by poets, I arrive in lowered eyes, in pauses too long to ignore. Ink leans on me when courage falters. In silence I linger, a trembling bridge, soft as breath... toward touch. #poem #poetry #bashful #prompt #writing #emoetry #writingcommunity @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social

#vssdaily #prompt The #museum hummed like a time machine with cleats. In Cooperstown, where pine and leather hung in the air, I wandered the halls alone. Gloves stirred. Stats whispered. And Bob Sheppard’s voice echoed softly, calling a game from beyond the glass. #microlit #writing

No-one reads books anymore the world's dead she clicks enter purposeful pinch of salt book silent #Poetry

The atmosphere at the corners of my mind droops, the spaces inbetween darkening perceptibly. Something in the chest just a little bit off. This is your absence.

This week, I'm contributing "hobbies like scrapbooking things we should never say out loud" to #PoemsAbout #Keepsakes. Thanks to host @alanparrywriter.co.uk and at @thebrokenspine.co.uk. And thanks to all of the other writers.

Heat lifts from pale stone~ salted skin, the hush of figs, a slip of silk brushing an ankle bone; somewhere, laughter curls beneath shutters, half dreaming while cicadas stitch warmth into the folds of silence Prompt 94 #SenseWrds #writingprompt
