the kiss of frost light tips blue the easy pasture I wait for you #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #pasture

Lick my arm, spark murmuring blue. #7syllablesentence

pedal down, I play notes on a drowning surface, scatterbrained a primordial hum of silt and undersea I press a key to hear what one hand says to the other to drown, in whispers #supercilious as our hemispheres #vss365 #emoetry #poetryprompt

window view, verdance without life stretches out of reach storms scar the pane pull the shades tightly to see clearly roots rotting within #deadfall between four walls an understory of thorns slowly bleeding the poisons dry #vss365

Tfw I was so sure climbing the wooden hill face in my palm, my hot palm misting from my mouth, winding down the spring of my body. I dreamed of you. We were in our little boat. When I wake, I can still feel your hand, almost, when I wake I am calm.

what is a will to live but a dalliance with #apprehension just one more tattoo of slender sliver just another sleepless night at the whim of dissatisfaction life and will aren't coterminous when its maker is met, so too is mine excuse me, i have a will to kill #vss365

you, an insect lie there benign and suffocated in the sea’s upsetting knuckle clicking her ghosts are immaculate throats full of your long dead grass

Dappled full moonlight parses turquoise shallows tepid and neap Luminescent flux persists Coral blue eyes intuit duet an undersea microcosm #undersea #vss365

When Spring makes love to you in hazel and amber light the fields smudged with smoke the elms turned crick and turn away as mist rocks its hips on top of the roof the groundwater singing the sun saying watch till the end.

with each open wound of #loathing, the slow-marching #investiture of madness comes. fingers like gáe bulg dig frantically, ever-searching for innocence to corrupt. self wields the #spear, desperation guides the hand, the end of hope fuels the avarice #vss365 #emoetry #wildwalkprompt

‘Traffic’ caught in the #flow of you in the arterial darkness, I think of steel rain on a mountain its valleys flayed open yet fonder, still of tar that binds as black ice on an empty road call me bystander make me go slow #wildwalkprompt #poetrysky #emoetry

Hats of nostalgia leaning into it leaning against the ground chewing bark just to get the mouth wet bittersweet a little a lot like painful joints the morning to keep the jaw able a little like that measurement we use a lot for love

a morning like any other— counting uncountable grievances in the silence of darkness entertaining intrusive thoughts with mays, mights, & maybes cutting away the #kiss of sunlight who steals a pound of flesh waiting, suffering the coming #wither as it corrupts the final wish #vss365 #wildwalkprompt

call her child our #lips a prism to cast for bright & blind a kind justice strands dyed to match the shade spun by girlhood (woody notes in the cotton) & sons (wouldn’t) & mothers (should’ve) & daughters (didn’t) & fathers (couldn’t) speak now call her child kiss it better #vss365 #rage

a back scratch from friendly bark an envious, #pale silver moon an old barn cat blissfully purring after a surprise killdeer dinner the night sky ascending an imagination soaring for what could never be #vss365 #emoetry #blissful #wildwalkprompt #ascend

such is the horror and silent sob to the sky a pond is born of #raindrops in an insignificant #lacuna cut into the irrelevance that is a worthless, granite face beauty swells in the tragedy of a #glowing moon and the reflective third eye now staring back at her #vss365 #emoetry #wildwalkprompt

wider than the spread of pages bent with sciatic groan desire hoked, still mine to slake & you enriched in text count iambic thrusts as sweat pools in the #lacuna of our appendices what need have we for notes? when foxed hearts clasp the thread so well #vss365 #poetry #textualhealing

idealism dies upon life's education stripped gears whir #vss365 #education #whistpr #whir #emoetry #idealistic

synesthesia born of violences blues in asphyxia choking on words poisoned w/ #purple haunted memories reds of lead & pooling apologies eyes blinded by #rays of black under pains of torture & existence scars are records & confessions life often #defeated but not yet dead #vss365 #whistpr #emoetry

forgotten plow rust dust in harrowed veins yesteryear's dreams #inkmine [harrow] #haiku #writingprompt #blueskypoets

He says my laugh is a carol a festive cairn to stain the cleanest scape I say let’s make a feast of choirs leave this meagre crumb but he prefers the #heliacal drone of all his forms the bright & the bore #vss365 #poetrysky #promptpersuasion

you can feel the #unseen sorrows like fingertips press bone into flesh with tenebrose tenacity you wonder if this is everything what once was taken thieved against will you now surrender freely #vss365 #whistpr #thief #emoetry #tenacious

I don’t know how to/be scissor smooth & cut to the end to all she knew as ashes crawl in the groove of strings that resonant sense of ghosts that cling to the movement of her voice just gives your life away #whistpr #poetrysky #rustwarning

a threnody where my heart should be its atavistic grame pooling in ink blots & words i #sublimate the urge poorly, limning in broken thoughts & skin as masked desires #clash with a hope for better days and the lunacy of a sickle moon #vss365 #whistpr

a half-cracked death mask plastered on a scowl split lips obviate condolences with a pan am, #saucer smile sorrow adheres an armour of #rage to a broken being like scales #cling to butterfly wings a warning of shimmering toxicity camouflage from the curious #vss365 #whistpr #emoetry

I wish I ran like a dog eyes up faith in a stride tang of sun-warmed iron-rich earth huffed across my tongue to be sick at alum lilies vomit up this energy howl a dirge & be done to cut at birth needled teeth loveworn to forgive and never forget #vss365 #poetryhaitus

you dip your toe in the #swamp to escape the quicksand what could it hurt now you're up to your neck in a filthy #synthesis of love & hate staying afloat with #mushrooms while darkness presses down on the top of your head #vss365 #whistpr #blueskyrelay

#quick as you like may death tease but for a blink a moment's passing #inkmine [quick] #haiku #writingprompt #blueskypoets

wizened #shell broken since a cursëd birth a scar-covered scar blighting the earth my eyes burn w/ #ineffable disgust as i float outside in blessëd dissociation watching from an #extrusion of self i pick at the wretched scab hoping to rip it clean before reintegration #vss365 #whistpr #blueskyrelay

A bouquet of Flowers make no sound Yet they speak the words Of silent hearts’ thump thump If I recline Under their shelter Just call me reckless #Perhaps indeed I was it The symphony of whispers Before your desires’ madness #vss365 #poetry

a clean robe & an iv accessory her face painted delirium #wrapped in a room so white this must be heaven, she thinks where hunger isn't devouring me & the sky has yet to fall wait until mommy & daddy see —where have they gone declarations that life is good is a razor of #absurdity #vss365 #whistpr

i'm beside myself and he's not #bearable and this isn't sustainable wolfsbane, hemlock any loathe #potion will do shattered glass isn't repairable a noose too frayed isn't wearable but a poison goes down smooth and makes him rue the day he sidled up to me #vss365 #whistpr

red leaves falling red river reflections another scar - ❖ - multitudes every facet has two sides gem in the dark #dailyhaikuprompt [red leaves] #haikuchallenge [facet] #haiku #writingprompt #blueskypoets

what becomes a boy one sans #charm & smile he grows in the deep dark a harmless mushroom horizon dapples his lips in flecks of spit & fits unmoved by dreams of perfect loves & lives there's nowt poetical as his brain #unravels hanged by his synapses his feet finally off the ground #vss365 #whistpr

scarlet dawn the city gulls are crying salty for the sea here is a splinter of my driftwood heart #whistpr #30Days30Words #vss365

though i see double-vision split-tongue divided-time moving forward with half a mind to... splinters in the soles between the toes under tooth and nail footfall and wordfall neither leave an imprint but for writing on the wall #vss365 #splinter

I touch my heart but there is only a flower there A many-petaled one I must protect her So that the one i love can breathe deeply And be comforted 💌

she shed tearful goodbyes for an innocence befitting and pled with baleful blue eyes for the childhood now lost she bled dry her abductor while he slept near his blessing then fled, spilling no mercy with her new dark #passenger host #whistpr #writingprompt #poetsofbluesky #blueskypoets

impulse buy a one way ticket to the past sole passenger on a silver bullet fired back through time (time flies by in daydream flashes humming its own song) final destination unknown wonder when I'll arrive in the history books #ScifaikuSaturday #whistpr #vss365

weeping sap for the hungry woodpecker ruthless with its drill - ❖ - winter's final leaf in midair hesitation a fateless journey #dailyhaikuprompt [sap] #haikuchallenge [journey] #vss365 [final] #haiku #writingprompt #writingcommunity #poetsofbluesky #blueskypoets

you talk of passengers who took the long way round (honest concealers who forget more of skies than you care to remember) to stand on a russet stair tourists to your carbon chatter taking pictures of a pointed view in the blue, a whistle sounds more precise for the quiet #whistpr

Me and Old Robot are hunting for the head this fancy hat belongs on. First, we meet a statue. He's standing on big words like courage and honour. Got dandy pants and mutton chop whiskers. Longest stare I ever saw, all the way out to sea and into memory. Or hope, Old Robot says. #whistpr #inkMine

up on Jack’s Hill we sit among shards of countless silence layered on repeat hey dj, don’t skip the rusted billions of final static for reddened endings under you under me #vss365 #final

a #final wish is too much to ask after a lifetime's opportunities so i 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 go gentle, mr. thomas despite my dying light i'll welcome that which i deserve the nothingness—my oblivion in all its painful glory because there are no good nights #vss365
