The fog rolls in As the kaleidoscope screams The third creature today To try to find its name. With warping flesh On tired stone We wriggle free Of binding bone The stars gaze in Our seams gaze out As statues stagnate In the between #poetry

I am shaded Ever jaded But still I shine A brighter hue Been debated Fully hated Always tried But never true My self left dangled Find an angle To force this light To channel through #poetry

:)

Words from Me to You Live well Be happy Give hell To those Who'd control you. Don't dwell Stay sappy Break shells Protect Those around you. #poetry

First of my profane word cloud art series is done: "Fuck" Ink on 10×8 canvas panel #Art #Fuck #WordArt #WordCloudArt

Death Isn't Mundane Renowned as progress This endless race As a thousand clocks Will watch your face Value given Is mechanical praise And power held By a man who plays With the lives of many A death of overwork Is a horror most foul The body is a temple Not your shareholder's trowel. #poetry

Digital babies reap the field of lives As politicians spread their happiest lies What use is our flesh in mechanical eyes? Are our wars still so coarse that we'd kill for a prize? I pray for a world where no robot needs be traumatized Yet the gods we build will still carry our wounds. #poetry

There are eyes in eyes Looking for the crown And eyes in our lies Watching every sound We've put eyes in the skies But they're looking down And yet these eyes on the prize Are showing nothing found #poetry

I live on In hopes and dreams Watching the youngest son Give the quietest squee On the beauty found In commonest scene This world, full of sound Beyond the mightiest mean. #poetry (Winter depression got me.)

And so the score is 3 to none If this were war, then he'd have won But make it known no job is done 'Fore life returns to calm and fun. Ten years is not too late For the gentle man's revenge. #poetry #shower_thoughts

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone for how incredibly supportive you've been!! 💖 I'm excited to finally be able to release this chapbook I put together as a gift to you. A thank you gift to the #poetrycommunity, all the poets and prompters. Please read alt text for more info.

So this is what happens when I write all on the prompts I can find easily on a sheet and then stare at them till my face prunes from crying... Enjoy. 🫂 #vss365 #wane #vssdaily #scope #promptcombo #moment #solseed #starryskies #faesense #waterfallsong #poem #poetry #skypoem #skypoetry #poemaday

Dissociating Disassociating every thought From each new pain And reasoned fear. I know it's not enough There's so much more Than what we hear But it'll never be enough And all I can do In the end Is remember how to steer. #poetry

I just want to see Many more lives being lived But there's so much hate #poetry #haiku

Pockets full Of nothing That might One day Be enough Weighted down With expectations Of potential Climbing trees In silence Not looking down #poetry #vss #writing

Minneapolis It is time To show the light It is time To stand and fight It is time You know your rights It is time To see their plight It is time We know what's right #poetry #protest

This week’s episode is slightly delayed due to technical difficulties (David’s laptop crashed). Watch for it this weekend on your podcast app or at inthreepoems.com. Hanna Eve Levy is our featured guest with her poem “The Day a Poet is Murdered by ICE.” #poetry #podcast #poet #nokings #forgood

If I must hold a single light On twisting roads in corrupt states An evening lost to downing pints Everyone knows now "what is right" And every cornered dog will bite #poetry

We Know Which Script They Steal They've called themselves our kings Now tell us how to feel It's not just time to sing They've put us on a wheel Now the system's sting Has gotten much too real We've got to do a thing Now that they've shown their steel #protest #poetry

Happy New Year!! I'm very excited to announce that the Aliases ezine is now available! This beautiful zine is full of old poems and things I recovered from deletion to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of my Aliases collection. Hope it inspires! 💖 #writersky #poetry ko-fi.com/s/2c776bb9c6

Numbers are numbers And meaning is meaning Will the meaning not slumber As I number my keening? Embedded in singing One song for my fame I do not ask for the seeming Imposter's reframe Nor the fostering build Of the quarterly host And the goldeny child As he who posts most (updated) #poetry

From my crew to yours, happy new year 💙

Numbers are numbers And meaning is meaning If I number the meanings Is there any more meaning? Embedded in singing One song for my fame I do not ask for the seeming Imposter's reframe Nor the fostering build Of the quarterly host And the goldeny child As he who posts most #poetry

How does one broadcast joy? There are no words For the gentle happiness I feel While enjoying a thoughtless hobby. #poetry

#SocialCredit #poetry @karmicmishap.bsky.social there's so much more to say on this one but this is what my mind is set with rn 😭

#2wordprompt Work is not The #solution To poverty Poor health Or any of the multitude Of problems Society frowns upon We've been sold A lie That making money Is the only thing That counts That only the wealthy Are good And the rest Are just #durable Goods to be used Until they break

A rather belated #poem for #faesense #poetry #prompt response for the word #toll.... but I think it was worth it? It's a #villanelle and part of my #nightmare series/future #zine of doom/joy. Enjoy the spooky spicy fun times! 🤗

Everything I say Is said to be remembered While pieces of me fray I give this peace a tether And so I hope I stay Come calm or wildest weather A subtle, quiet wind Holding us together #poetry

The days are #uncertain, The times come and go When comes final curtain I'll remember your show The ways of your beauty As you swayed to and fro Not the saddening tantrum that caused you to go. #poetry

Cultivating Colour Poem in #alt-text #poetry #poetrycommunity *title provided by @boomshockalocka.bsky.social

I paid the #toll at Heaven’s gate, a river of Lost stories, regrets Washed away under the sun The unicorns sang and danced. #haiku #tanka #poem #poetry #writingcommunity

There's always a #toll to pay Nothing's free but what we say And if you stay unwary Even that will be taken away A "necessary" casualty Of a battle so far away. Don't let a 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑙 steal your voice #faesense #poetry

My offering for #poemsabout #money is found in alt-text. I tried something new with how to present the text cohesively. #photography #digitalart #poetry #poetrycommunity @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk Shoutout to @boomshockalocka.bsky.social for helping me with arranging lines

Do you dare to call me me? Or do you claim to know what I should be I am everything of that you see. So don't tell me that I'm living wrong That I'm stuck in ruts, all day long I don't live this life, to dance your song #poetry

its very normal

; the world presents prizes for perfection; first place trophies; gold medals achieved - being 𝘁𝗵𝗲 best is rewarded, yet no prize is earnt for doing 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 best; there are no awards won for being good 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩. #7syllablesentence #prize #micropoetry #writing

What comes and goes As I strain through prose To reach just one more word Yet even so Still as I go To always show That good is what we sow. Of struggles in And struggles out I'm prying every word. Yet the tears and tears Are held within As I don't need you to know I just want you to grow #poetry

It’s Monday. May annoying folks leave you alone, your fridge be full of your favorite drinks, and your pillow be cool.

Remember To love the world As it is While fighting for its fate Remember why It's worth being pushed To such a sorry, sloven state. That pushing for a better world Is not just heavy weights #poetry

Thankful for the time we spent Thankful for the shielding care Every single line I dreamt And the many pains I'm spared.

How could it be enough? Perhaps enough is simply another figment of our insatiability? Typing up stanzas so they can exist and then deleting them because while they needed freedom from my mind I don't need a keepsake of them for all time #poetry
