As the clock tolls breath is leaving my body in a whoosh and there’s music but it might be death and there’s singing but is my mournful cry #faesense #poetry

I did it. This is the start of my own prompt, called #FaeSense It took me a while but I'm very happy with it. Thank you for @poetguygabe.bsky.social for giving me the last push I needed. Feel free to share the post below, it's gonna be a weekly prompt. Happy Solstice! ☀️🌒✨️

There's always a #toll to pay Nothing's free but what we say And if you stay unwary Even that will be taken away A "necessary" casualty Of a battle so far away. Don't let a 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑙 steal your voice #faesense #poetry

System of debt, a Toll hangs over all our heads, Dreaming of freedom. #FaeSense #toll #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @ignorantfairy.bsky.social

homesick faeboy tolling the tower bell with lovecrazed head wishing to return, trapped in grease and smog, slowly suffocating — witch saved his life shrank him down to a thimble so now he hums inside her prize-winning orchid #poetry #blueskyrelay homesick #poetrycommunity #FaeSense toll

#poetry #faesense #toll A bell atop the tower took its toll As piece by piece, brick was worn Like armor in some steady rain Weathered by heaven's tears This downward stream of liquid threads Finally forced tower walls apart With only gentleness of water & the simple purity of salt Let it fall

#FaeSense #prompt #disclaimer

#FaeSense And fae were said to have left our realm yet many traces still speak of their presence. Neither good nor evil, some may even make your ears tingle a little. #toll One word a week to #prompt creative work. Add to #beauty, be respectful, cooperate — create #art of all kinds See alt-text!
