VANISHED ROADS is available today. These haiku first appeared here on BlueSky. Over the past two years this community has become a home to me. In many ways, I feel we've taken this journey together. I hope you'll consider adding the book to your shelves. www.wolftwin.com/product-page... #haiku

Tease me sky

shaken, stirred, scorched at the stems flowers gone funny flimsy from fiery furnace days #emoetry #vssmagic #inkmine #poetry

does it matter if we rise or fall? do we need gods to pretend something cares at all? we're a species full of questions swayed too easily by suggestions trying to make sense from insanity distracted by greed power & vanity just a flea on the galaxy's skin we can only lose nothing to win #vss365

A rusted frame becomes a cradle. A simple clay pot becomes a home for something reaching toward the light And suddenly, what looked worn looks wonderfully alive Perhaps that's how grace works— not by replacing what time has weathered, but by growing something beautiful within its embrace #poetry

For much of my life, I thought of adoption as a single event. Over the years, I've come to understand it as a lifelong journey—one that holds both gratitude and grief, loss and love. You can read the full piece on my website. 🌿 #WritingCommunity #Adoption #WordsbyAmyMichelle

Yesterday, I had my very first book signing at Park Road Books. I met readers, signed books, & shared conversations I'll carry with me for a long time. One little girl asked what my book was about. "Life," I told her. She smiled and said, "Oh, I like life." My heart is full. 💜📚🌿

Not a great #sketch, but trying to sketch in ink freehand with a 3 year old in your lap and only a few seconds glance at a reference is harder than it sounds. I might just have to arbitrarily find a place for it in Snapshots now 😝

Good gorgeous gusty Saturday from me and Mr. Beach Bum Beagle 🏖️🐾😊 Home now and he’s down for the count. Coffee! ☕️☕️☕️

1 Year ago I adopted Chance. She had been stabbed in the stomach and spent her life on the streets. She shows us all that no matter how bad things get in life there is always a way back for us all.

A summer morning on the beach just before sunrise. I'm a morning person. I'd much rather be walking along the beach in morning when it's 70 versus 95 in the afternoon when the sun sets. This beach faces east so it's perfect for morning light. #photography #landscape #ECK #beaches #sunrise

My latest poem Salt-Rimmed Coast. Hope you enjoy it! #poetry #writing #blueskypoet

I was on the beach last night to watch the sunset and then this happened and it was the best thing ever ❤️ #photography #nature #seascape #storm #sea #castricum #happy #ECK #eastcoastkin

Damn Another Wasted Night #dawn #vss365 #writingcommunity #halfbadpoetry #acrostic

Happy Wednesday! We're halfway through the week! Despite the pundits saying it would be a so-so sunrise I thought it would be pretty good based on cloud coverage, and sure enough here is what we got. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

You've been chosen 🛸 #WhimsyWednesday #FungiFriends

Okay, the trunk isn’t that thick… but the mushrooms certainly are! 🍄🍄 #ThickTrunkTuesday

Sometimes everything and nothing matters

Good morning! Golden sky from Ingonish, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia photographed by Erin Fos..

your love filled me as the dawn I would rise with hope of the brand new day not a hope that was blinding or like a drug that makes one forget a planet that is hurting and in chaos but hope because your strength your belief in me gave me the courage to overcome and take the world's blows #vss365

🌱 Started from seed, these nearly white sunflowers are new for me this year. We'll see how they do in arrangements.

"Inside all of us is... hope. Inside all of us is... fear. Inside all of us is... adventure. Inside all of us is a wild thing." ~ Maurice Sendak #HappyBirthdayMauriceSendak #WhereTheWildThingsAre

got my first tattoo yesterday 🥲

Good morning! After that huge storm last night, one peony decided to make an appearance today. It’s going to be a warm and sunny day. Enjoy your Wednesday! 🌺

#vss365 Paddling the dawn shore holds its weight. inside the pool, water learns the instep’s curve, memorises the small bones. outlines loosen in the gravel. flesh settles into glaze, until the heel is a rumour passed from ripple to ripple. #dawn #poetrycommunity #writerscommunity #poem #writing

I kinda wanted to expand this, but for now it touches on the feeling without getting too dark. Will read and respond after work. Best wishes. #wrongbody #poemsabout #poetry #haikusonnet #6amwritersclub

Grief doesn’t always arrive like a storm. Sometimes it settles quietly into the ordinary parts of life— the bed, the kitchen, the silence after laughter fades. #poetry

Some poems arrive softly. Others feel like walking through memory with a lantern in your hands. “Ghosts of Yesterday” is a poem about the echoes we carry, the fractured versions of ourselves we leave behind, and the quiet ways healing still finds light in the dark. #poetry #blueskypoet

A vibrant sun breaks through the night, Renewed hopes for peace shining bright. A chance for all to live and thrive, As sacred human rights arrive. #bluesky #love

Mother, nothing makes sense nowadays except words in my head that came from you trying with all my might, grasping, gasping, at empathy for you, demon within you Mother, you left me in darkness with all of your words and no lessons of light #vss365 #promptcombo @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

This rhododendron was on the brink of death 5 years ago when I moved into this house, and now it IS the house. I basically live inside a rhododendron.

some pain so deep it hurts to even breathe and yet I wake each morning to another sunrise without you I stumble to the kitchen make a cup of coffee and start my day #poetry

Imagine what happens when standards are lowered through the floor suddenly chaos reigns and people show how #incompetent they truly are And everyone wonders why this was allowed when they had chosen it. #emoetry #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

The One of These Things (Is Not Like The Others) for my #SixOnSaturday 🎶

Congratulations, @Prophet_Poe! You were selected to serve as this week’s Voice Of Valo(U)r 👑 Our next #BornBattleReady prompt word is: AMBIGUOUS Do not post your #poetry here. Battle will commence Friday at 9am EST The only rule is to aim for the heart— and don’t miss! 🖤⚔️🤍

We do not get to choose every challenge, but we do get to choose how we meet it. May we find gratitude not only for the light, but for the opportunity to shine through darkness. #ThankfulThursday

Our silence is ambiguous, leaving room for logic and longing to duke it out with fisticuffs. We've had enough of the indirect -- a derelict attempt to avoid ownership. What is yours? What is mine? What does it even matter when there is ever more than meets the eye? I? Aye. #BornBattleReady

This week's #BornBattleReady prompt word is: AMBIGUOUS Submit your poem by using our hashtag (QRT with hashtag if no space). Include your poem in this 🧵 for added engagement! Submissions close Sunday at 9am EST. The only rule is to aim for the heart — and don’t miss! 🖤⚔️🤍

fields of wildflowers lush green trails of yesterday #cradle me where tomorrow breaks open where the sky forgets how to hold its rain and the earth trembles beneath weary feet let the wind sing softly through the hollow places teaching my hands again how to reach for light #vss365 #mypic
