Me on the way to the rapture

Journal 📝 today: I’m deeply spiritual and emotional. The emotional is rare not due to objection; moreso due to access. Recently, permitted myself access to deeper emotions. Now being at peace, am able to express myself strongly in entirety. Poetry as art; always catalyst. #MPPrompt #Prompter

Kindness Deficit You’ve met them, I’m sure of it, people starving for a kind word, gesture- greedy for a smile or a listening ear; some will do anything for a little light, warmth, kinship, often told they’re trying too hard- you’ve met them, did you show me kindness? #emoetry #poetry

#BlueSkyRelay #brisk #poetry #blueskypoet #skywriter #poetryconmunity I never hear 'brisk' and don't think of Pop. And that makes me smile!

#PoemsAbout #NeverAgain #rondeau #poem #homeless : @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social I was homeless for a couple of months and had several beatings by late night clubbers. Perhaps taking clubbing to heart!! people shouldn’t treat others like that. Never Again.

Can still be a force, Kindness kills cruelty, be Shoulders to cry on. #emoetry #kindness #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social

#vss365 The Poet's Prayer As I wield this blunted sword reinvigorate the dented grammar of my lungs, let verbs curdle, half-gnawed consonants dragging, until syn- tax snarls itself into syncope into sin-song into full-storm surge. #reinvigorate

#vss365 #reinvigorate #poetry #blueskypoet #skywriter #poetrycommunity Fast and loose and follows not a single rule of poetry, but it's honest. I will throw some razzle dazzle into the next one! (Maybe)

BlueSky poets, for today's #BlueSkyRelay (22/09/25) be #brisk, as I am dying to read all of your beautiful words!

Who in their right mind would schedule a rapture on a Tuesday?

I don't want you to #anchor me, I want to set sail with you into the vast open waters of imagination, where you can whisper wonderous words into my ear. Let's float in that dreamlike boat, forgetting we exist anywhere but here. #BlueSkyRelay

#vss365 Poet’s Choice write in ink or unwashed blood? write with passion or vending machine prose? write from the gut or for landfill laughs? write the truth or a typo'd truth? perhaps I should have stopped as the first word f e l l into a jar marked ‘DRAFTS” #perhaps

#Perhaps is the word of a leaf before it falls, hope for a future it will never share. Yet even the fallen— resting, moldering— have a song to sing, and their verse is: Someday. #vss365

The prompt was greatness. Bonus points if you can guess the film quote that begins this one, because it popped right into my head the instant I saw the prompt word.

my intent using a prompt but inspired by you but "perhaps" just like "if" has too much weight cataclysm in a couple of syllables a promise we daren't make all too familiar mantra of the dreamers with you it's never just a word #vss365 #perhaps

demand to worship divinities, a constant shifting array in consumerism- money power greed self determined righteousness- worship people who hate worship people who kill these are the modern gods #retroartprompt #poetry

#Emoetry #impotent #poetry #blueskypoet #skywriter I wrote this and I pissed myself off. I am going to get a cup of coffee and do nothing someplace else for a bit.

Art is #Resistance As an #artist, a poet, and educator. My #artwork is defiance. I believe in the absolute right to #speak, #write, #create without the chokehold of censorship. #Freedom of speech is not a privilege to be rationed; it is a human necessity; without #art democracy collapses. #Kimmel

Ok I am gonna do it! @bettiebune.bsky.social @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social @jangoeswriting.bsky.social @rayhourigan.bsky.social @zim2918.bsky.social But I swear on my shoes, I love everyone I interact with and read, or shares their art!!

The words scar my skin, haunting my reality, possessed by someone else's poetry parading through me. #Ineffable loneliness— phantom poems roaming through my empty spaces. An ache that crescendos, crashing ghosts into my soul— spectres of sentences I didn't write but that seemed entirely me.

The prompt was boring.

No New pictures, where are you mentally?

Time for people in political science and adjacent fields to do the work educating folks about what illiberalism is. What majoritarianism is. How "democracy" can still technically exist while civil liberties, rights, and protections for minority groups are vastly eroded.

So now, let me get this straight, I am a terrorist, but the child sex trafficking rapist treasonous wanna be dictator, and the only actual inciter of a violent insurrection, is the president. Makes sense.

Hi #BlueSkyRelay peeps today 18/09/25 A sneaky one for you : #nefarious Spread your serpentine words of plots and schemes across BlueSky, for us to read.

A night lengthens as humanity extends its darkened hand, nothing more to utter than opinion on what is gained and lost- most stride on as if nothing is chasing them at all #foxprose #inkMine #2wordprompt #vssdaily #poetry

Checking in with myself, are my intentions #nefarious or am I just curious? Is that my shadow out to play? Tricking me with an earnest display of honesty. My faith in me as fickle as a leaf on an autumnal tree, f a    l      l       i        n          g,             hopelessly. #BlueSkyRelay

Ritual Circuits Beneath the city's veneer #nefarious veins, pulse rotten forgotten rage. The ritual drums both mad; shunned summon entities— beyond our cage. Encoded spirits dance through fiber-lines. Consume data fed-off our dread. #BlueSkyRelay @anntigone.bsky.social #Prompt #nefarious #art
