Swelling larger than the mountain Emotions burst from stony throat Loosened by the quaking ground From pools held deep in anger and in pain Sometimes it pours down hillsides Ashen breath upon the land Tears root and rock from soil Even when these things are loved 1/3 #poetry

Madness is upon me So in the woods you’ll find me Green shoots seeking warmth At banks of sorrow The animals they speak In dreaming slumber Poppies & of moonlit burrows Aching for the green and gold Leave me to my madness Or else find me And there seek in me the truths Of sleeping rose & root 1/3

Tap tap tap tap Find a rhythm in the pain Swing tap shake step Settling askew refrain Breath of poet, sigh of muse Tangled web Unwind the ruse Madness lays here Make a nest Where this chaos Finds its rest Drum tap tap tap How this aching heart does sing Shake sigh here rest Settle in shining wing

The din has turned Into a hum Still struck with tones Of chaos inside this mind The depths and waves I know so well They amplify My love And anger too It’s all imbued In every sense and cell of me I want To fall into your arms And find a rhythm in your chest And there Find rest #poetry

Rhythms of the world They speak to me in swirls Of color & of movement How the sound Of wind make torrents Round the frame of you It sings Within my ears The sirens swing From stone to wind And wind to sea They’re calling you to me And calling me to to be The wind #poetry

#NoKings Colorado Springs showed up.

Their words circling Hate is a tightening chain Step away from it #senryu #poetry All the hate of the past weeks has hit me hard. As an autistic, nonbinary, light-skinned ndn, these rhetorics of hate hit my communities directly and purposefully. It is time to lean into safe spaces.

When the wind forgets And the waves are all that remembers, Water carrying all things For all time, May the truth ring true In the settling of ripples In the rise and fall of tides May you see truth in your own reflection And know it is carried There In the water of you #poetry

So much for “I’m going to try to post daily.” Still too busy. Plus emotionally exhausted and grieving/enraged with the impacts of fascism and hate and fear and the lack of care for schools shootings and people’s safety. I’m tired.

#Finite We are ever temporary between our collapsing bodies We are ever momentary between our expanding breaths We are living history between our changing presence #poetry #solseed 🌼

Fear and greed fuel propaganda Threats to the enemy ripe with hate Gathering community strikes terror A war cry against just people Ideological extremism oozes infection Seeping into the eyes and hearts Compassion dissipates in fear It’s time to breathe #poetry #politicalpoetry

Cobwebs whisper harmonies As footsteps leap the stairs Traveling between then and when Dust scuttling off the ankles Where harmonies wait Hoping no broom finds them Perhaps they will billow for a bit When the door opens New melodies beyond the quiet #poetry

I have been BUSY! Good stuff, but much stuff. I don't write as much poetry when I'm not on here doing prompts though, so I'm hoping to keep posting at least one poem or a handful of prompts daily. No promises. Keep sharing good trouble and arts and all the awesome community care you give/receive!

Cooling days and nights Breeze carries mushrooms and moss Autumn is coming #haiku #poetry

Little brown acorn Fallen whole upon my path Pocket full of joy #haiku #poetry #micropoetry I found this today and kept forgetting it was in my pocket, which made for excitedly sharing the acorn multiple times today. Look at the acorn! So cute and perfect!

Quaking aspens bent Fall came with color and tears Weeping nation’s heart #emoetry quaking #poetry

A judge ruled that Trump can't act as national police chief, declaring that the president broke the law when he deployed troops to Los Angeles.

Protested on the holiday weekend between hot air balloons and driving kids around. Ran into friends. Contacted an arts group involved with political theater, poetry and music. Good times. Good times. #WorkersOverBillionaires

Summer disorients time Blurs into heat and growth Then in August My walks take me To searching leaves For shades of red and yellow Browning acorns on the branch And so when September comes I know when I am #poetry

Found in spring Elder bushes dancing Between pavement and buildings From flower to fruit How I wonder At how well you feed this world Bursts of berries darken In summer sun and rain Making welcome For birds and weary walkers #WildWalkPrompt cluster #poetry

Spice has seasons Peppers grow and call for heat Soon cinnamon shouts #dailyhaikuprompt spice #haiku #poetry #micropoetry

Wytness obligated me To holding mirrors Speaking out Against the racist drivel Thought my skin Meant safety For their hate They couldn’t see My NDN, Hispanic roots I saw them hide some hate Unwitnessed by other wyts Some only for wyts Racism was clearly A choice #emoetry obligated #poetry

Sometimes mad druid The green mist takes them within They speak with the world #emoetry mad #poetry #haiku #senryu

I kiss beautiful constellations on your skin, stardust on my lips. #vss365 #constellation #haiku #senryu #micropoem #micropoetry #poem #poetry #feylin (later in the saga, I know where, you'll see it again don't worry 😉)

Bright leaf in sun showers Light dancing through droplets Setting the sky ashimmer With every color #wildwalkprompt leaf #poetry

I will cling to stone As oak roots cling to cliff Holding up mountains Crumbling stone Holding up oak trees Tossing acorns Down to the streams And hungry mouths of the world I will hold up mountains As mountains hold me And if it is only my nature to do so Then we are kin Holding Holding #poetry

Covid vaccine recommendations and some approvals were rescinded by the CDC. So insurance and free vaccine programs for kids won’t cover them. Pharmacies will require a prescription for anyone under 65 to get the vaccine. This is going to be awful.

So many hours Pressed into the grinding stones And still somehow St sight of work undone The world would call them lazy #emoetry lazy #poetry

The contempt was pungent Venom flicked from his tongue Meant to make the pressure stop Back off! #vss365 pungent #poetry

The ivy clung to the wall Around the little nest Of woven vine The birds there called and grew And I would watch Enthralled by their whole lives Right there Contained within the window #sensewrds 111 #poetry

On the bookshelf Lived a small one She stole away With every unread book Adored them unendingly Whispering new stories Into abandoned pages Between lines and chapters New visions formed And then she put them back A little dark around the edge Where they would wait #whistpr bookshelf #poetry

The canyons hold me Nurture in this nest of stone Holding the water #haikuchallenge nurture #poetry #haiku

Vine wound the lilac Bursting red with season’s change Demands to be seen #dailyhaikuprompt vine #poetry #haiku

Their keen sense Drifted across the landscape Tasting every wisp of wind Through cattails and over stone Measured the weight of water between banks Tasted the whisper of shallows and deep Before taking a step Through the whirling Sensing how the world responds #emoetry keen #poetry

Raven leads the way Through tributaries Of land and technology How our bodies immerse These sensory selves Into all we delve Sifting through feeling Feeling through attention Tending through sense Making meaning From so much Felt in the bones #poetry

Corn fills my tastebuds Juicy kernels burst sunlight I remember tales Corn maiden and three sisters Dolls given to bring the rain #wildwalkprompt corn #poetry #tanka

The sigh was too sharp All defeated and impatient As if every action wasn’t a choice Every task a sign of abundance So I kept away There’s no room for joy there In a tightening space Where each literal gift is a burden You can’t even enjoy the rainbow It’s just outside #emoetry impatient #poetry

When they are imprisoning Again Detaining in concentration camps Again On our soil Again Where it was done Again And it is those who taste the loss of freedom Again Who speak loud enough Again The rest must stand too #poetry #politicalpoetry

Rains fall into this open face Carrying everything With each drop’s burst upon skin It is released Falling, falling Down to the earth To the waters flowing always To ocean and sky Carrying Carrying all #vssmagic release #poetry

This shift pulls my tides Depths and heights reveal patterns How much is moon-led #wildwalkprompt tide #poetry #haiku

Settling into the noiselessness This place had never hampered So much as was thought When grasping tighter Now it feels relief To sit in this silence Where senses shift The world twists Enough to know This overwhelm Is temporary Calls for a shift Of perspective #emoetry hampered #poetry

#Emoetry #Prompter @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social #Prompt #Hampered 8/25 Phoenix Feathers At Dawn Ashes transform slowly into feathers bright as flame scattered by wind songs each one a #hampered memory between death and rebirth.

Hampered by many things Internal limitations No less real than the physical Today it was emotive Social limits reached When masks fall off And auditory processes no longer process Time to sleep came Amidst sky-rending storms Finally sleep Still left With fatigue & thunder #emoetry #poetry

Vibrant blazing star Within a cut-down prairie A bright spark of hope #wildwalkprompt vibrant #poetry #haiku
