An uplifting piece for all of us this morning! #emoetry #vss365 #poetry

The digital #symphony stealing your mind one scroll at a time. #vss365 #prompt #writing #5amwritersclub #truth

It's hard to contain their mess with words the old ones hold too much respect while the new ones flap like car store balloons. Can someone lend me a word that fits? This feeling we have this feeling— this awful, modern, bewildered trip of sliding through vomit while checking our phones.

#vss365 #symphony #poetry

A distant reminder day When once she was so sallow Her fingers did play Strings a Cello Looks above in dismay Seeking something mellow Oh to be a Fae Dancing amongst the branches of Willow Cello in play Dancing to a #symphony mellow #vss365

I told myself I was gonna veer from political writes but this is a message I feel needs to be told: the world sucks and has always sucked but despair and pessimism will just make things worse. #vss365 #emoetry #poetry

A poem about childhood! #vss365 #emoetry #poetry

I refuse to play a fiddle. I'll continue to play my games with a smile and invite you in so you can see that buried beneath the pundits and doomsayers is an angel's poem that we can read until the heart softens and drapes over the world. #poetry

Another poem that exceeds the character limit but I feel this is one of my more important messages. I also feel it'll strike some nerves but oh well. We must have hope or they will win. #poetry

the remains of fear d e p a r t when we speak of love; eyes sparkle— a profusion of colour; we d r i f t— as we float, every current stronger than before into oceans of blue. #poetry

Swallowed keys churn the stomach into frost. The repeated motions of survival dilute life until only pennies rise to the surface. There is no glory in the shivering white flag. Maybe tomorrow, the air will flow instead of weighing down like a cement world. #poetry

as if wrapped in an adumbrate of a poplar seed a Winter fae darts and dives the light outside my window

Another poem that exceeds the character limit. I even titled this one! #vss365 #abstraction #poetry

Chickens come to roost You don't realize that it's you inviting them home

You sift through the latest abstraction, with the knowingness that this time, unlike last time, or the time before that, it'll come to fruition. #vss365 #abstraction

Say it with me~ I am dangerous to anything that tries to cage me. #DailyAffirmations 🕯

Starlight shimmers Darkened skies burst secrets Hidden in the depths Where too-bright lights Have blinded from what’s true I catch them And I notice Where the lights, There, Shine upon your skin And mine, Here too And placing them With breath I taste the stars #poetry

My first poem of the me year exceeded the character limits! I hope ya'll enjoy it, regardless. #vss365 #delightful #poetry

There were shades of hello and shades of goodbye in what you said. I could not tell I could only feel, trying to untangle the wires. Time passed like a metronome, unyielding, painful, repetitive, with no relent. #Hello #vssdaily #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

Once casual disdain became a lifestyle. I was carving ellipses into mirrors, I was dreaming of a discolored flesh that would muffle the sounds of a shoebox apocalypse. I sift through the aftermath and hope I find nothing so that maybe I can finally live on the ruins. #emoetry #vss365 #poetry

with one fire dwindling like a #dream, up in smoke another smoulders #peace in a tinderbox rage fueled by the innocent while #casual hands wring warming on the flagration their charges mould building bricks from calcine and memories #vss365 #whistpr #emoetry

Finally liberated, I see a future beyond this last dance I see memories not built on mystery and myth; I realized I don’t grind my teeth at night and I’m no longer hit by wave upon wave of you; I’m breathing #blueskyrelay #ourpoetryx #bedroomeyes #foxprose #vssmagic #poetry

I would wish them safe travels but they've forced tainted knives into my hands and with them, I carve apathy into a ticking bomb. This is not a betrayal, this is an inevitability of the septic environment they create and in this war I beg for emptiness. #vss365 #emoetry #poetry

pacing this warm hallway in my dreams im much older #tanka

I heal myself of the afflictions draped in human skin. Borders bend in infinite dimensions, taking on a life that praises a hollow god without irony. A sole reason multiplies into millions as spite waves in question. I smile in my quiet lacking. It'll be okay. #emoetry #vss365 #poetry

Threads of deception gather on the ground coiling in the essence of serpentine. Gossamer piles, delicate they pose, crush as glass against the very #soles who dare lay bare and tread in search of buried truths. #vss365 #poem #poetry #message #media #oligarchs #struggle #writing #spot_the_lie

Those who cough on the compromised universe are bite marks on God's cheek. How useless their noise, how sad their perspective. Their boots are filled with the blood of their children. No pity will arise from their departure but the rejoicing will taste of bubblegum. #poetry

She turned into a bluebird with mirrored feathers rising into the Sun She sang "Icarus never knew" haunting my whispers as She disappeared into the sky only the faint echoes where Icarus might have been remained, bright sparks like Mars falling where i glimpse infinity fleeing winged #vss365

When the air was filling with daggers I ran to the void with no direction. I hope I'm learning to breathe again, to stop dancing with my scabs. I vindicate my youth for his perpetual gaze into his handcrafted war zone; he only saw destruction for the planting of seeds. #vss365 #emoetry #poetry

Do not despair when it appears you have nothing before you. The universe has nothing before it, and yet it continues to expand. Struggle on. Fill that void. #vss365

in the relentless dark light sneaks in through seams 'tween creaking beams the smell of wood and moisture and time the future of a fly struggling in a web stuck by strands the cruelty of enough movement to have hope all is decided just a matter of when & it breaks one's heart to watch #vss365

I think... A certain level of loneliness and madness is to be expected. We can’t ask real storms to be tame and still expect thunder. We can’t sing in spirals inside square walls and expect receipt.

Folding the water inward Our veins pulse with the tide A sea held behind ribs of bone We are but upright oceans Carrying the same Salt that birthed us #ও☉❢☉✑ #poetry #writing #micropoetry #blueskywriters #writingcommunity

I think this is the first time I've written a poem that exceeds the character limit on here. I felt the message is important though. Enjoy! #emoetry #vss365 #poetry

We can’t change who we are, but we learn to adapt. We may not understand or believe, yet we choose trust and connection. Life isn’t always fair, but hope remains. Though life may be a #struggle sometimes, it is worth striving for. #vss365

#Rattled Ever will there be those who shake in hopes of control Only those worthy are privileged to hear you sing #poetry #emoetry

When the sun gently touches the landscape it reminds us that we do not #survive on strength alone but on the quiet moments in which the world reveals its simple enduring beauty. #vss365 #poetry #nature #naturephotography #sky #clouds #landscapes #blackandwhite #monochrome #photography

Nature can be so stark equally so, can be lush as seasons see you #Haikufeels #Nature #Haiku #Senryu #Poetry #Photography #Snow #Winter #ImageAndVerse #Haiga #EastCoastKin

i learned to be #thoughtful like an animal learns not to show its teeth. the wanting stays intact. #Emoetry @fafo-poets-society.bsky.social @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social‬

You listen for what's not being said. And in the silence, struggle resides. Full yet wordless. #vss365 #struggle

Happy holidays! I love you all!

Too long in scornful sleep, I'm trying to rise from this bed of barbed wire. Life is hard but my heart becomes an angel's feather instead of a brick thrown through my own life. I'm staring at the sky, shooting at every ghost and I swear they all smile at last. #emoetry #vss365 #poetry

some things only make sense in a song, as for me, I’ve been living in the music all along

I'm jumping from every ledge I can, trying to find inner peace in infinite depths. Defective dialectics drift on useless coping. Hope loses itself in the noise and I'm growing too tired to find it. #vss365 #poetry

Three months of a downward spiral will end in everything or nothing. The dimming lights and the loud thoughts are a slow drip of sepsis onto the shaking brain. Hope is a commodity but my pockets are filled with nothing but stone and the tides are rising day by torturous day. #poetry

I know I'm sick inside In oh so many ways I'm sick for a time I'm sick for a place All gone by yesterday I'm sick for you I'm sick of me I'm sick of all this pain I'm sick with guilt For all I've done I'm sick in so many ways. #poetry #emoetry #homesick #blueskyrelay #yearn

I'm tired of the fight. Nausea overwhelms the body and anvils overwhelm the soul. The highways on which I once rode, letting laughter and song be my guide, are now clogged with the dead ends of a rigged Russian roulette and the only way home is through God's gaptooth. #vss365 #emoetry #poetry

2405 Your empire will grow when you tend the gardens with delightful flowers Paint the night skies with constellations about love and kindness Baking bread and providing stunning spectacles #poetry

fighting over scraps the last rats still clinging to a sinking ship #vss365 #SenryuSunday #senryu
