This is such a pleasant surprise! Many thanks @sbwrightpoet.bsky.social for featuring my #haiku / #senryu on Fallen Petals, and for a wonderful commentary. I especially liked your insightful note on the “irony” of fireflies missing from cityscape as a “haunting” image. Much appreciated. #Oulens

Born sick, Stain of Wrongful sin To Frolic In name Of a Good god Blame on thee Another one, Two, three It's a shameful Root of life’s tree It’s high time You stop letting Him get you down Eat your bread, Let go of his sin. #vss365 #frolic

Viene a la ventana desde que vió mi roto corazón , trae dolor al dolor del destino que arrebató mi amor, te desvaneciste ante mis ojos me dejaste ciega y triste, sorda de nuestras canciones, viene a mi ventana a traerme el corazón, me trae el tormento de seguir viva sin tu amor. #SerenaViene

I was 7 when I knew the bogeyman was real. He didn’t hide under my bed. He walked in plain sight, had a key to the door. I stand on your grave, #defy your ghost to rise & look me in the eye. Instead you sleep. “Loving Dad” etches your stone. One more secret between us. #vss365 📷 Pixabay

#vss365 #poetry I wanted time to stop with my #defiance I wanted the cosmos to open up portals But Grim striked at the perfect Imperfect moment Rupturing both sky and gravity Yet Cupids arrow stays buried In my heart Digging deeper and deeper For eternity

O what power this poetry has To render a reader in deepest misery Or extend their heights through euphoria Dependent simply upon an author's choice Yet, the paradox presents: You, the reader, choose your feelings I only present to you The opportunity To feel. #Poetry #PoetrySky #PoetsOfBlueSky
