Is any of this real Does anything matter What matters to you Doesn't matter to me So things can't be So easy to see When the difference between Is not perceived With mutual care Or empathy And lies are just words Whatever that means Saying something is "Just" something #poetry

Moonflowers And morning glories Twisting vines #haiku

There is a goose in the bay Canadian by name Outside the mill I work For the past couple years She's laid eggs along The retaining wall And all seemed alright Until the other night I heard the cries and When daylight came Only she remained A broken wing Stuck between the dams Alone #poem

Was I a good son. Will today be the day? Everyday I wonder If I was good enough "Good" "Enough" To answer that question Is to ask what I've done And the hardest truth to face Is if it's too late Because one day will be The last that I'll see And all that is left Will be the memories #poem

Look into my father's face My mother's eyes And wonder how much time I have left to say I love them

You made a fool of yourself Everyone saw it Like you were Drunk off your ass Do not stay Go away You are not wanted Get on some meds You need help You're not sleeping here Goodluck

In the middle of the night You turn on all the lights Because you don't want me to sleep

In front of me Is a tall mirror With a reflection I don't want to see #poem

As snow melts It comes back again Trickery #haiku

Rubbing my eyes For a memory A tree that grows free Giving shade to me With a flicker of light Where the sun comes in Through the leaves between And a warm delight A happy sight If only it be a memory #poem

Wish I could close my eyes And only think of you To see your face again Instead of chaos and voices Unresolved emotions Unstable frequencies Society buzzing Stealing peace #poem

To exist alone Feeling still the mysteries And decode your love #haikufeels #decode

It's hard to write When i feel like I am drowning Gasping for air Reaching toward light Trying to grab the sun In a furious panic With a mouthful of water And a tired energy Of nothing to stand on #poem

Admit one Below ground dwelling Mystery #haikufeels #admit

Seeking home address Woodchuck scurries across snow Leaving its footprints #haikufeels #address

If you touch me Not the hand Of wickedness Which pulls in anger With violence To the screams Of children Who are scared Those faceless men Unknown and unwanted I will feel the pain Of my children's tears And the aching want To feel her touch From this cage They have made #vss365 #touch

Cold washcloth Ache on the left Side of the head No good spot To lay down Or stand in Sit in a chair Tilt myself slightly Finding stillness Don't move Hope it goes #vss365 #ache

Parking ban Wintertime snowfall City streets #haikufeels #ban

As I listen to the song The Ghost of Tom Joad I think of where we are And what we have become The sadness of a mother Looking into her son's eyes Having seen the dark times In the work camps and fields Hungering for more than food Burning rage of the unredeemed #poem #vss365 #ghost

Hidden light revealed A vision of her beauty Faces of the moon #haikufeels #faces

Losing my words Through the Netflix screen And a million reasons To take a long nap Are the only thoughts That can bridge the gap Of another broken synapse #poem

Harsh winter winds clip Grey clouds cover her sunlight Cracked skin now bleeds dry #haikufeels #clip

“Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm -Emily Dickinson

Avoiding the word suicide doesn’t protect people. Clear, direct language does. Asking someone if they feel suicidal doesn’t put the idea in their head, it opens a door they may be desperate to walk through 💛🐦‍⬛ #DaddyBlackbird #SuicideAwareness #MentalHealth #Support

Is the crown too heavy, Imprints on your skin, The weight of all you carry, And all the tales you spin, Are you royal by your making, Did you accept the role, Careful of your subjects, Too much power takes its toll. #thingstowriteabout crown

Many thanks to DJ Tyrer, 5-7-5 #Haiku Journal, and Atlantean #Publishing. 🙏 In the Blue Ridge, mossy trails wind velvety green miles, knowing exactly where to go. Crossing paths, migrating leaves wander the wilds without aim or care. They both share the mountain. ✨️🍂🌱⛰️🌱🍂✨️ #poetrycommunity #poetry

Snow over thin ice Maintaining surface tension Until the breakdown #haikufeels #Maintaining #poem

Winter's cold heart Is filled with ice And breaking the spirit Of warm-blooded animals Who just want to survive To see the Spring To run through grass again #poem

In a vacant house Of the disappeared There are empty chairs Around a family table Dust has become thick And food has been spoiled None left to remember None left to care Inevitability of life's Ending has been expedited In a most violent way #poem

Happy Friday! We made it through the week! We had a stellar sunrise on multiple levels today and the best part was the preshow looking due East to the left of where the sun was preparing its horizon break. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Tonight’s sunset

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Unyielding Hand Facts are not ours to command. They bend not to our demand. They are the unyielding hand. The real refuses your design. When you maintain your false line, You face the truth's sharp incline. #poem #poetry #poemoftheday #poems #bluesky #blueskypoetry #photo #art #facts #truth

ICE detaining Oglala Lakota citizens suggests the agency missed the memo on the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. These raids expose a deportation machine running on racial profiling, treating Americans as foreign suspects until they prove they belong. Critics befuddled by the lack of "common sense."

Look into darkness Unknown shapes appear to move Fearful blood rushes #haikufeels #look

And now I'm hiding in the bathroom because of the 4 loud explosions instead of getting ready to my brother's birthday #AnyafromKharkiv

I am the ferocious flow of water. My human hands reach, trying to gather me in, shape me— make me solid; but 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. I can only surrender to the currents that deliver me somewhere unknown. #VSS365 - Delivery #Poetry #Poem #SkyPoet
