#WildWalkPrompt Hung across the lake, Small curtain of auburn leaves Masking nature's face #Haiku #nature #poetry #blueskypoet #curtain

Wandering in the darkness Cooling pavement underfoot A light from beyond Your well manicured lawn Peering through the curtains Into things unknown Smiles and laughter revealed The other side of the veil #wildwalkprompt #curtain 11/05 prompt #darkness

trapped trapped myself in this life room, the door is locked, if I had the key I’d still be be here; Nothing happens here no yelling, berating, controlling, possessing, gaslightiing- pretending I’m not monitored in his fishbowl; locked in “love” #poemsabout #poetry @alanparrywriter.co.uk

I've been too busy to write much this week, but turns out I already had one for #poemsabout #Lockeddoors @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk As always, I tend to not title my sonnets, so this is sonnet 15

Hillside filled With leaves of Rusty yellow Ocre and orange All the colors Of a fall Worth remembering Breeze enough To add shimmer But not so much That they are Carried away On a wind Going somewhere More important Not unlike the Autumns Of youth Fondly recalled #WildWalkPrompt #orange

The leaves seem to give A light in the park The orange feels like flames A fire with no spark An illusion of warmth But the winds from the north Will keep us huddled inside And safe from the dark #wildwalkprompt #orange #poetry #nature #writingcommunity #blueskypoetry

#WildWalkPrompt Evening falls upon Another fading year, Bathed in orange glow. #Haiku #nature #poetry #blueskypoet #orange

#Emoetry prompt for 11/7 is #Marvelous #writingcommunity #poetry @fafo-poets-society.bsky.social

Orange isn’t great for poetry Though it’s a delicious fruit We find many other names But don’t use it for juice Pumpkin, burnt umber, goldenrod It’s easier to name the hues Then we can say specificity Is really what we use. #wildwalkprompt #orange

Winter closes its Fist, mottled orange carpet Of leaves swept away. #WildWalkPrompt #orange #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @sonnetsmith.bsky.social

A dark force lingering like hooks in soft gentle flesh it won’t leave you even if you desperately try to occupy your mind with more positive thoughts to dispel this #darkness this haze that surrounds you confidence waning just get through the day hide behind closed curtains #WildWalkPrompt

Endless #emanation of #darkness emptiness consumed me— my #character #lifeless, trapped in the deep I sat in a black room hugging my knees— then you came, reaching to #connect as our hands touched the space shifted infilled in techniolor like a film from the 50s then we danced in the rain.

As days fade Clock also For some reason Tampered with too Natural rhythm Foolishly abandoned Better the minutes And unruly hours Left alone and Let calendars Match the season The sun alone Setting nicely Enough to know Darkness soon Will undoubtedly Follow #WildWalkPrompt #darkness

I chose today to write a #monotetra poem, a form that loops back on itself, each stanza folding into its final breath. It felt right for the #WildWalkPrompt of #Darkness, where even light returns only to vanish again. #poetry #writesky #blueskypoets #writingprompt #poetrylovers #writingprompt

Clogged by islands of plastic in once clean oceans paying the price of man's folly a miasma of netting tangles of lines and other refuse from human consumption. turtles ingesting plastic waste with these human made death traps #Clogged #WildWalkPrompt

#WildWalkPrompt Consealed from sight, Darkness masks monstrosities Awaiting blinded prey. #Haiku #nature #poetry #blueskypoet #Darkness

This poem by @imnotherenow.bsky.social contrasts two very different styles of relating to God. I love it because I deeply relate to both. My responsive poem is meant to reflect that. With that in mind, please read the words "you" and "your" as plural, referring to both people in the original poem.

We SNAP our fingers As we ground all flights, no Christmas gifts for their kids. #haikews #poem #poetry #politics #trump #shutdown #writingcommunity

While light blinds, darkness Hides, and what is hidden is What we really fear. #WildWalkPrompt #darkness #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @sonnetsmith.bsky.social

I’ve watched myself Drowning in my pain Swirling in eddies Spiraling down the drain I can only doggy paddle As much as I strain My head sinks There’s a clog in my brain It keeps me stuck Where I barely sustain A last gasp #wildwalkprompt #clogged

Not aware Of the internal Changing also Along with Leaves And seasons Greens fading To yellows And rust Crisp air more Noticeable Step a little Slower Mind more Unconcerned With details But rather Broad strokes The color Of life blending Into itself Best glanced From afar #WildWalkPrompt
