Not winter, not spring, February slips by quickly in its own breakdown. #BraveWrite #breakdown #haiku #writing #writingcommunity #micropoetry

Shutters leak pale light a glyph engine etching signs onto waking wall #GrimScribe #glyphengine #haiku #writing #writingcommunity #micropoetry

Distant drumbeat sounds unrefined nature calling from the place we fear #WeirdMicro #unrefinednature #haiku #writing #writingcommunity #micropoetry

head swimming in fog mirrored by encroaching grey wish to seize the day #poetry #senryu #haiku

Soft as sunset deep as sunrise vulnerable I'd be no other way #emoetry

blue to yellow - a hint of spring ignites the sky #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poetry waning Winter - a yellow butterfly among grey and brown (Spotted a first butterfly in the garden - like a subtle memory of lost pleasures, a colourful dot, tumbling in fresh air, strangely out of place)

Fake lights stirring thoughts neon stretching out the night, still pouring coffee

the last of the frozen trill your wicked sudden laugh, your freezing hands running my spine as you whispered, guess who I am. I miss it now the shock, the cold, the you.

Fractured little selves, the ampersand in their chest binding two in one #Cassiopeian #ampersand #haiku #writing #writingcommunity @yeehawpoems.bsky.social

Tenderness meets rage, anger flares yet gently falls in its soothing pool. #BSPP50 #tenderness #haiku #writing #writingcommunity #micropoetry

It’s a tense knowledge that life has its price, the end always in sight so I’ll choose kindness over heartlessness, eccentricity over ego, humility over pride and though I’ll surely fail at all three, let trying be the price I paid when the earth reclaims me.

long after death’s hush the forgotten brother moves, prints his smile on hers #haikuhorrorprompt #longafterdeath #haiku #poem #writing #writingcommunity

He left, no death lust only overwhelming, blind one-way love for life #haikuhorrorprompt #deathlust #haiku #poem #writing #writingcommunity

love, respect, friendship pride cracks their bones for marrow, hollow after meal #WildWalkPrompt #pride #haiku #writing #writingcommunity #micropoetry

words that crash inside pushing, pounding, taking hold, darling dealbreaker #BraveWrite #dealbreaker#haiku #writing #writingcommunity #micropoetry

Grit while I stared at the arch drawn by the waves, on a still‑warm mat in thick, salty air, you made your watch glow I chewed words and grains of sand

ineffable bliss a shift in the air, half‑felt, eyes smile knowingly #vss365 #prompt #knowingly #writing #writingcommunity #micropoetry

Seen as the days race, I anchor to quiet things, camera lens wide #emoetry #seen #haiku #writing #writingcommunity #micropoetry
