A seashell held to my ear & there I hear the whoosh of waves like my own heart undulating, & in that beat a kind of agony— a shout moving toward me then retreating back out & I feel compelled to turn the pain to ink as if the searing temperature of my soul may be stilled— though it never is.

Beach-walking pirate, half-chance to yelp, “Stepped on seashell!“ 𓂃 ོ𓂃 #wildwalkprompt #seashell #nature #havenspark #folkpoetry

Seashells trap whispers ocean exhales at twilight to voice their own vows #WildWalkPrompt #seashell #writing #writingcommunity

I had to leave a lot behind when I moved halfway across the country, including my seashells that I spent a lifetime collecting. Not much fits in a 2-door hatchback. #WildWalkPrompt #seashell #poetry #writing

#WritingCommunity #vss365 #BSPP52 @darkxfer.bsky.social @ourpoetryx.bsky.social - Where does night end and morning begin? I wonder as the ink of my words translates to touch. The resonance when you taste my phrasing dissolves time and space. Our breath synchronises. With borrowed...

The final seashell holds The song, the oceans Dried, gone and forgotten But for one to sing, to Bring hope to the heavens Peaceful, pleasant with no One to care, she sings of Life to poisoned air #wildwalkprompt #seashell #poetry #prompt #writingcommunity #blueskypoetry

Salt-stung hands sift sand for shape, slick shells slip, then slow to scrape. Surf sucks back, then spits them low, sand sticks skin, #seashells shift slow. Soft shore sounds stack, then settle still, small shifts stay, then slip at will. #WildWalkPrompt #poetry @sonnetsmith.bsky.social

Mustache and chest The years I attest have Not been kind, grey Down the line I follow The six pack now Belly, can’t see but She tells me it’s grown To my balls, I guess There’s no hiding I’m old after all #wildwalkprompt #grey #poetry #prompt #writingcommunity

Expectations began In pink technicolor A rainbow of ambition Auditioned for another To cover notes on strife But dolphins are grey In reality, in this life There is no Lisa Frank #wildwalkprompt #grey

#WildWalkPrompt Here under a blue sky Sometimes it helps to be indeterminate With a chance of rain It's not just a choice of philosophy It's a wildly varying precipitation That determines that not every matter Is white or dark As sci-fi wizards Heisenberg and Schrodinger Cloaked themselves in grey

Whitecapped whispers; rumor over waves seagulls risk the deep beneath Crashes, cracks and roars One piercing cry above it all The triumph of the gull. #wildwalkprompt

Coastal summer day Fine silver lines greet the sand Ceding gentle waves #vss365 #WildWalkPrompt

When internal waves of doubt rock me, when the dubious hands of fate torment, then I count the salary of hope I have left— each meagre piece a blooming bud, til all I see is a cherry blossom tree growing, full and beautiful in the churchyard of my soul. #WildWalkPrompt #waves #vss365 #hand

#Wildwalkprompt #wave A perpendicular displacement Transversing the axis of motion: sine graphed, a quantum field, A vibration, or a huge wall of water crashing down on the seashore.

One drop adds to the same Waves break as oceans became With motion, aether is worn away Weathered into a bouquet Of life glowing, growing into more Than incandescent mud along the shore #wildwalkprompt #waves #BSPP52 #incandescentmud

Grey matter oozing Slipping out Onto the floor As more TV digested. Brain numbed By a diatribe of Syphlitic shit. Poisoning reason With treasonous venoms
