Severe warnings fill the airways Thunderbolts boom Outside winds are rampant Ravaging Springtime's blooms Mother Nature's in a mood #AcrosticApril (storm) #WIPSnips (rampant)

A bank of Springtime's yellow blooms first ones out the gate the lovely sight sets moods right long gloomy Winter's wait #sensewrds #206 Hillside Daffodils Picturesque

not the Golden Age or Bronze it’s the Age of Corruption #7syllablesentence #age

Ripe old #age of 68 Old #age wisdom's pretty great #enlightenment comes with #age #Self-accepting as you #age #Age with morals, take a stand #Age with kindness lend a #hand #Age out loud & stand up tall Your bones #age too, please don't fall #7syllablesentence #OurPoetryX #emoetry #vss365

Of all the things I've never done I don't begrudge a single one my simple life though plain to some jam-packed with love, so yes I've won #poetry #poem

So this is what it feels like surreal pretty neat first time ever is all my years swept right off my feet #poetry #poem

dissolution here admiration waning fast lost cruel nation #DailyHaikuPrompt #haiku #3lines

Winter's weary wind will wane Soon Springtime buds beget the bloom Mother Nature's fertile womb #poetry #poem

Such rampant injustice a world so unfair chasm of difference tween us and them there we witness their struggles at a loss, still we care there but for circumstance we are keenly aware #poetry

I love the ones unknown to me 8 billion on our planet we our differences miniscule most are fine mere few are cruel that ain't enough to sway me see I love the ones unknown to me

Washing Away all That I hold dear, but Enlightenment comes like a River Falling over me Assuaging my fears that Linger, that Linger #acrosticapril #poetry

A small sob escaped My emotional landscape, Returned with a roar. #ThingsToWriteAbout #small #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @thingstowriteabout.bsky.social

A clusterfuck of hows and whys requiring extraction keep the truth delete the lies an editor in action

subway tunnel— the city in its throat #haiku #poetry

The thin skinned need not apply weak kneed please free up your seat to the yellow bellied and the idle minded not likely we'll ever meet

She waits for him to hear those words whispered sweetness long since heard She waits for him to take her hand a love lit night on warm white sand She waits for him as time goes on a knowing look, familiar song She waits for him ...... #vss365 (hand) #poetry

The purple haze of night the torch lit space between leads the lost dark rider home with a pocketful of dreams

Waging it's aging now by noon I start to yawn hey, get off my lawn #SenryuSunday #senryu

My Whimsy's flimsy Mojo's no go, spark's a lark Passion's stuck in park #SenryuSunday #senryu

Please hand me a mug a small one, my dear I'll try not to chug though I do love my beer #vss365 (hand) #WIPSnips (mug) #thingstowriteabout (small)

I wake, sleepy eyes and just like young Jesus did I too shall soon rise #SenryuSunday #senryu

Let's Let's grab Joy, as time may allow (before she sobers up and slips by us somehow) Let's kiss Baker, we'll be in for a treat (his teardrops are icing so his kisses taste sweet) Let's pick Daisy, I like what she's got (she's nuts about me, but she sure loves you not) #poetry #poem

Oh to have a turtle shell a small safe place to hide legs reigned in tuck in your chin and hunker down inside #thingstowriteabout (small)

Something I remember from back when I was small our phone was in the kitchen tethered to the wall so if you wanted privacy you bought a longer cord squeezed in the room that housed the broom and then your heart you poured #thingstowriteabout (small) #poetry

My Paycheck To Paycheck Life I'm my own dentist faithfully I floss My own hairdresser looks even if it's tossed My own french chef shallots are the key I'm my own psychiatrist crazy fucker me #poetry #poem

#vss365 I pick up my #pen to write a tiny escape hatch to crawl through

He's a mug that chump an ignorant ne'er do well the asshole voted Trump he's gonna rot in hell #WIPSnips (mug)

The spilling down of ink and wadded paper balls words wayward on the brink bouncing off the walls the solitude to think ideas rise and fall the sipping of your drink your daily writing call #thingstowriteabout (paper) #poetry #poem

No more milky moustache now red wine runs that caper and Popeye candy cigarettes gave way to Zig Zag papers #thingstowriteabout (paper)

I write on whatever wherever I go I've got brown paper poems form the LCBO #thingstowriteabout (paper)

We all have our limit our line in the #sand comes the time to move on with hat in hand though not with regret but with lessons hard earned say goodbye to the past & those bridges now burned this is your life to live can't depend on the fates up ya get sweetheart your chariot awaits #vss365 #poetry

Somewhere in the sands of time lays a life that should be mine the dream remains as years roll on the wait's the bane with each new dawn would seem that fate's a fickle foe it's passed me by, so on I go #vss365 (sand)

From our friendly interaction ignoring all distractions we parlayed that first date into what appeared as fate now with you gone I'll find my way I'll muddle through the grief each day and as unassuming passerbys ask, How are you? Just fine, I'll lie #sensewrds #205 Mingling Conversation Forlorn

Mother Nature runs the show formidable fickle fury Circumspect is Father Time we pace the floor, we worry Randomness in Lady Luck a mere spin of the wheel Absolute for Old Grim Reaper no way he'll cut a deal #thingstowriteabout (floor) #poetry #poem

Tis my chapter of reflection #translate #memories with my #pen deeper #introspection has me #homesick for back then #2wordprompt #vss365 #OurPoetryX #inkmine

Write me as you would a book each chapter brings a closer look Sing me as you would a song with melody to hum along Pen me as you would a poem for in your words my soul finds home #vss365 (pen) #poetry #poem

The older I get the earlier I rise come the wee hours wide open eyes privy to the calm of 4 a.m sounds dark starry sky solitude abounds the lapping of the bay the hurried scribble of my pen most mornings start this way I sit lost in words again #vss365 (pen) #poetry #poem

Your perpetual losses reflect no change as of yet gotta lose the random if ya wanna land 'em perhaps need to hedge your bets #Sensewrds #204 Endless Moonlight Sharpened #poetry

Limitless your talent be your well honed gift gleams forth from thee #sensewrds #204 Endless Sharpened Moonlight #poetry

Single is as single does I only want a man because I've searched for one both wide and far to open stubborn pickle jars #vss365 (man)

What a scummy man Blue suit, red tie, fake tan Smudge on his collar Kill for a dollar I'm not a fan If only his crimes merited no more than A driving ban But he propagates Lies, deadpan And speeches all Faustian The wizened pretend Sultan(a) Needs Jail No bail What a scummy #man #Vss365

Just as nightfall's glow enhances from above be a heart now set to boundless for thee, mine own true love #sensewrds #204 Moonlight Sharpened Endless #poetry

I #deserve my #cozy #idle #time to find a #man was not my #goal my #takeaway from life don't wanna be some #fool's wife a red #flag to #abandon my soul #inkmine #2wordprompt #OurPoetryX #vss365 #WIPSnips #thingstowriteabout

Trouble free your life will be when warm thoughts lead the way they'll initiate all things great to illuminate your days #sensewrds (effortless, creating, light) #OurPoetryX (warm thoughts)

The morning opens nonchalant, like a lazy blossom unfurling slowly beneath the sun while I, more greedily, exalt the light as something oft denied pointed straight toward those shining rays, I sway, like a winter flower amazed by its own survival. #vss365 #exalt #WildWalkPrompt #sway

Yeah I saw that #film gobsmacked in my #seat Ben was a #rat the meanest you'd #meet sent his army #requests #conduct them to kill Ben is a #legend I remember him still #WIPSnips #thingstowriteabout #vssdaily #2wordprompt #vss365 #inkmine

I skid through life on nothin' but chance just me and pure straight happenstance on a wing and a prayer by the seat of my pants watch all ya want I'm still gonna dance #thingstowriteabout (seat) #poetry

Take a seat, round and Round we go, we don't die of Death, but vertigo. #ThingsToWriteAbout #seat #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @thingstowriteabout.bsky.social
