#poetry I look outside the window To watch heaven shed Her tears, a little water cycle I sometimes call my own I feel lighter somehow Like a torrential downpour That evaporated overnight After a heavy fog was lifted I think maybe I'm the dove No flood to drown, no sin Just soaring in the skies

A signal she’s come to dread, chasing love in the unsaid, twisting, turning her phrases hopelessly navigating this phase; When is it enough, she sighs, will truth trump what is denied? each night she says, start anew each day another spin to unscrew #vss365 #poetry

Not really poetry per se, but I've gotten into Rocky's story. Today, more than ever, it's important to persevere. Love is everything. 💕 Look at Rocky. 🐕 #dogs #courage #love #reallife #poetry

It's my balloon day and I wish to make the humble request of artwork sharing 🙏 I feel extremely blessed to have made so many trips around the sun whilst painting pictures for my living. What a life, always profoundly grateful that it is mine ❤️✨

Albatross the paper boat collapsed quietly corners softening into wispy slush. all that careful folding, wading returned to water’s ridges— and the river kept carrying the shape of what I meant. #BlueSkyRemnant #Prompt #5AmWritersClub #Poetry A #Solseed Joint #serendipity

Today is the 6th anniversary of George Floyd’s murder The craft of the poet skilfully holds the incendiary emotion in this sonnet, a form more often associated with love poetry 100 years later this still speaks starkly of the anti-racist struggle #poetry #poemoftheday #GeorgeFloyd #YvesSakila

How it's done 👇😊

'Renditio' All for the best, and the best for all, only quiet promise, heedless of cost. Feeding my rest; a harbinger’s fall, precious dawn memories; dissolved, lost. Love, once hopeful, now naught and bare, erased 'neath the morn's crisp pall. 1/4

if it was only a winter I could have survived but this was a distancing from the sun a tilting away a wobble of an axis and the ice age came my world more desolate as glaciers grow wider and thicker cold winds bit me and then one misstep became my last my words unheard in a deep crevasse #vss365

Sometimes love is not enough once it didn't align with the rest of me, so I walked away but I grieved like trees in autumn raining leaves when my winter came it was long & barren in spring I bloomed, but my colours were a rainbow in mourning & my heart was never quite the same again. #mpprompt

Maybe a #hottake ? I'm curious, #Poetsky. How many #poets are #writing #poems on #Bluesky using #AI ? (Either the whole #poem or #editing existing work?)

When remorse laps my shores, wrapping around me like seaweed, my inner critic glares in judgement she interprets only at the level of 'should've' or 'shouldn't', my deeper feelings denied then I must run to my softer side, the mother in me who knows to be quiet & let me cry. #vss365 #judgement

Writers... am I wrong? 🤣

'Veritas' A telling truth unmasks a telltale heart? Which version holds? Yours, mine, ours, or theirs? So many choices tug any meaning apart, and every claim oh-so-softly wears. Truth exhales softly sweet contours of need; a flexible notion shaped by private wants. 1/5

Thought I would add some context for those unfamiliar with Ferri's work: www.dailyartmagazine.com/roberto-ferr... His mastery of light is exquisite, IMHO. ❤️

Setting up and feeling blessed to have the kind support of dear friends. 🫶💕
