The clouds crack open hiding planets from the earth drinking the cruel moon. #haiku

my grandmother was called Nasreen, that she died two years ago in Tabriz and I couldn’t go to say goodbye, that she knew nothing of power, nuclear or otherwise… —Marjorie Lotfi, “On seeing Iran in the news, I want to say” THE WRONG PERSON TO ASK, @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social 2023 #BookWormSat #poem

Endless Poppy Day, earth is flowered by our wars, blood coats every field #WildWalkPrompt #poppy #haiku #writing #micropoetry

A circle of bats They darken the lying moon light behind my eyes #haiku

Currawongs eye Colour of the desert wind Colour of a star #haiku #painting

When Mr Trump applied For the position of Pope He donned a black silk cape to cover his crimson shirt The ballot paper burned black smoke That covered Rome like a claw Its a DEI hire the cardinals crowed. The heart of the Vatican exploded, Raining down stolen African art.

Forest of birds feet The witches spiraling eyes Scrys patterns in moss. #haiku

Swept under the rug Tiny treasures specks of gold Waiting to be found #haiku #unlookedforthings

States of surrender follow your bewilderment To the trigger points #haiku

Hidden in the sand The ridges tell the stories Of empires brought down. #haiku

Standing at the door Nothing behind me but ghosts Light shines through the cracks #haiku #jump

Ink stains the void Pulling secrets from the dark Dawn, the waking sea #ও☉❢☉✑ #poetry #micropoetry #blueskywriters #writingcommunity #haiku

Wake up unanchored The beauty of forgiveness Waves lap at the boat #haiku

Blame the seduction You went off to fight the war Speaking words of peace #haiku

No expectations Not knowing what will happen I let myself down #haiku

I met my shadow We danced just the three of us Until the sunrise #haiku

." Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images, to achieve changes in consciousness … Indeed, to cast a spell is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change people’s consciousness" Alan Moore, from hell.

We called them saplings Yet they burst through our concrete To reach for the sky #haiku

A golden penumbra, a peripheral spark a mundane victory, a shiny red heart Every magicians a liar every lightening catcher a thief every ripple in the water hides a monster beneath

In the fog of war A green fern unfurls a frond rain brings a release #haiku #redpoppies

I hear the rocks sing Harmonies from the great depths Hear them trickle up. #haiku

Sing me the sad songs songs that make you believe in worlds where we exist #haiku

In mists of my mind Gather cups to reach the tap Lest we die of thirst #haiku

#haiku through the honey jar a light from the candle

Everywhere she walked men's eyes threatened. Every time she looked nice men's mouths called her stupid. Every time she felt free men's tales bound her. men's brains aroused only by tales of slavery. When she walked through the wood wolf's nice words, not threatening, not belittling, dripped butter.

Art to smash the state When the music stops We'll bring down prison walls Dance with sledgehammers #haiku #Palestinianliberation

To paint a storm cloud First learn how to catch lightning Let rain soak your bones #haiku

Bosses bark at me Do I need this bridge unburnt? Convince me to stay #haiku #fuckwork

If the truth be told Silence sings the aria In a world of noise #haiku

Sitting here alone watching shadows pass me by change eternally #haiku

Flowers on the wall pastel colours taunting me stupid little whores #haiku

Pliny the Elder Rome consumed itself Treasures from the earths entrails To the depths of hell. #$haiku

Small is beautiful Greed tears at natural worlds Spectacle of wealth #haiku #extinction

History repeats Lessons of Caligula Watch the lions prowl. #haiku

In the promised land Jail becomes a killing floor Rulers pop champagne. #haiku #rope

Caligula dies A legacy of excess Empire in decline #haiku

I made your socks into monster's teeth

The passover No neighbours were warned The angel of death passes Painted blood on doors #haiku ( I'm an atheist, but it never seemed that holy to me to let your neighbours first born son die)

Japanese Cherry Trees 🌸❤️ 🍒

Surrounded in blue A forcefield of love for all Who keep my name safe. #haiku

Sometimes you just have to sign off before it all turns bad. Better days are ahead. ✌🏽💙🦋

This whimsical painting of two black cats in a simplified architectural setting is by Danish artist Inge Schuster.

The True dwelling of the holy.

Surrounded by walls These are not my boundaries This is not my dream #haiku #ontheup
