So true! I really miss the playfulness in poetry these days. 💛

Burnout recovery 🔥 Just having fun here. Apologies to Rilke: I'm reading his poem, "Again & again, even though we know love's landscape" (tr. Edward Snow) after seeing an art exhibit of poetry & American landscapes. Your longest relationship will always be with yourself. Keep showing up. #PoemsAloud

She ran with all speed back to the little door, but alas! it was shut again, and the little golden key was lying on the glass table as before.

coruscation the reeds conduct an overture

this morning sun upon a blank slate across BlueSky a hand reached and warm chalk wrote her reply and handed back the chalk it’s nice to talk

All her life she had looked into dark; but this was a vaster darkness, this night on the ocean. There was no end to it. There was no roof. It went out beyond the stars.

oh, my darling I have fallen in love—again, again with the becoming of you #poetry

You are the future, the red sky before sunrise over the fields of time. You are the deep innerness of all things, the last word that can never be spoken. To each of us you reveal yourself differently: to the ship as coastline, to the shore as a ship. prose #poem Rilke #art Rakan Alduaij #resist

dawn rising, four a.m. long lake silky still blue; shore lights dapple that low black hill. Red blooms from dark horizon, attentive pines consider their slow agendas for another heated summer day. ☀️ #poem L.C. Goodwin #art Kenneth Kiefer #resist

I think of so many dear friends you are loving & playing joyous & angry fighting illness & struggling hard looking out into bright darkness praying for relief from every wild fire listening to leafy winds & loving more in my dream I am there with you #poem L.C. Goodwin #art Rakan Alduaij #resist

There is no dusk to be, There is no dawn that was, Only there's now, and now, And the wind in the grass. Days I remember of Now in my heart, are now; Days that I dream will bloom White the peach bough. 🤍🌿 #poem Archibald MacLeish #art Loreta Idas

#短歌 #tanka #poem the scent of a world on fire fills the air we search for someone to tell us when the rain will come

In that moment Ged understood the singing of the bird, and the language of the water falling in the basin of the fountain, and the shape of the clouds, and the beginning and end of the wind that stirred the leaves.

Yesterday the air beneath trees was blue dancers there in the leaves, in the twigs I turned softly dancing with a blue woman made of air I knew the dance that would please the Gods, I knew the dance that would make the river smile #poem excerpt: Jimmy Santiago Baca #art Alex Katz #resist

And no one knows how many of the dolphins that leap in the waters of the Inmost Sea were men once, wise men, who forgot their wisdom and their name in the joy of the restless sea.

oh, my darling it’s a cheese and cracker kind of moon tonight and these bones are buoyant bright dance with me here along the wild, wild way where star-shine billows and fractals fray dazzle me down to the soil and the seas let me dream deeply of mountains and trees #poetry

things change: authors and wizards are not always to be trusted: nobody can explain a dragon.

And though I came to forget or regret all I have ever done, yet I would remember that once I saw the dragons aloft on the wind at sunset above the western isles; and I would be content.
