These headlines read like a bad thriller: one-dimensional villains endless plot holes. Our modern dystopia. I wish I could call it #unearthly, call it poorly written fiction, call it anything but real. #vss365 #poetry

in the ceasefire symphony, there is an ominous #undertone hear it in the complicit who applaud themselves, expect us to cheer along and forget about the unreleased and  the martyred and the unpunished and  the rubble and the children and the lies  #vss365 #poetry

Let me tell you about the lightning I've tasted. No #raincoat. No running. There is too much thunder in me to fear this storm. #vss365 #poetry

Every piece of news these days feels like an #advert for learned helplessness paid for by blood-soaked money Every tear shed is a tiny revolution. Don't let them sell you on caring less. #vss365 #poetry

I spent almost a decade on planes, trains, buses, seeking some #oasis to help escape my pain funny, how the suffering came with me everywhere funny really, how my best oasis wasn't a physical place #vss365 #poetry

the hyper-rich have the best self-esteem their #malformed humanity, gaping holes for empathy their off-rhythm heartbeats pound the #bass lines of history we must be as #audacious every indignant act: a revolution #vss365 #poetry

Raw, time-travelling page turner about a survivor seeking salvation in all the wrong places. A brutally honest tear-jerker with a metal and industrial playlist. #posterpit #posterpitq #Q #P #A #NA

There is nothing #mystical about intuition Every child has this commonplace magic We are all angels without #wings Keepers of wisdom too-long forgotten #vss365 #poetry

Every stormy morning is reaching for an afternoon #rainbow. Every #grumpy dusk is reaching for a smile at dawn. #vss365

stress: a #spider web each #laugh, a ray of sunshine lighting up the trap #vss365 #poetry #haiku

pigs play with puppets televised future horror gluttons know no #rules #vss365 #poetry #haiku

chuckles won't cure this don't try #sass or distraction courage lives in pain #vss365 #haiku

sometimes, it takes a seven year mistake to beware of #charm and backhanded compliments and fridges with nothing but mustard. #vss365 #poetry

lately, you are ready for #mischief just like your brother, those playful brown eyes you are already growing up too fast one day, these days will be memories but I'll still be there in every moment for every sob, every #scowl, every laugh #vss365 #poetry #parenthood

"Never again" is going to need a new plan at this point. #GazaGenocide #poetry

may the eyes that look back at you in the mirror always be filled with unwavering #purpose and the #promise of a legend lived #vss365 #poetry

I fight the day and sometimes win my calm is never #mellow I lost it young my #innocence my heart is never yellow #vss365 #poetry

I've never worn diamonds or fur #taffeta or pearls I've lived my life in flip-flops and raindrops camo and silver rings that is why I know the luxury of a sunset and the pricelessness of awe #vss365 #poetry

Querying postpartum is wild. I've never had rejection hurt me so much and still kept pushing on. It's amazing how motivating kids can be, but these hormones are absolutely not helping 🫠 #amquerying #writingcommunity

I've been accused of overthinking but maybe I am just a #prism dividing the mundane into all its colours #vss365 #poetry

"a champion is someone who gets up when they can't" Jack Dempsey said well I guess I (like most moms) must be a champion then #poetry #motherhood

each day, I train my dreams teach them to heel stay close, stay loyal I will feed you soon, my hopes #poetry
