Dear friends and followers, may your homes be warm, your hearts unhurried, and the people you love close if not in distance, then in thought. Let this season hold you in grace, kindness and moments worth remembering. Merry Christmas! 🎄❤️🌟🎶🎀

jump into the sweetness of a honey pot let it ooze through your pores #jump into a barrel of leaves wear them as crown for all to see jump with eyes closed bounce through clouds playing tag with your #spirit #guides jump  without purpose laugh in serendipity of this sacred life #vss365 #poetry

"It waz nice fer da cilent ta giv us xmas pressies but, da experience of #jumping outta a plane? I'd preferred da cash really," Riz explained. "You still should have been polite about it," I said. "I waz!" "You bit their nose." "Cud ave bit far worse places." #vss365 #riztherogue

This would be the line I was warned about - the blue line. An invisible barrier prevented me from going beyond it. I wanted to win. I had won all the previous levels. I stopped trying to #jump over it. "I surrender." The line disappeared along with my pride. #vss365 #FromOneLine

What in the eft is a newt? #7syllablesentence #eft

I want to scream at Zorla that I would never be a filthy Lostai soldier. I want to tell him I was not primitive and that I came from a proud line of Arandan warriors, poets, and teachers. I want to #jump over the desk and punch him in the face. #vss365 Montor as a child

the sun peeks right through foggy layers of morning an apt déjà vu #blueskyrelay #déjàvu #haiku #blueskypoets 📸 Z. Kokanovic

She moves through the winter realm her gown of snow carries silence her crown gathers the glow of #saturn rings turning like ancient vows she breathes frost across the land and every tree bows to her gentle power #vss365 #Poetry #FreeVerse #MicroPoetry #SkyPoets #BlueskyPoets #Winter #Nature

Saturn moves with austere calm its rings record ancient motion each arc a ledger of force and fracture we read their silent structure seeking the hidden logic that shapes matter across deep time. #vss365 #saturn #thoughts #deepthoughts #poetry #poetsofbluesky #skypoets #blueskypoets

Happy #Solstice to all of #Yule! ✨️🎄✨️ hollow stump deep silence gathers notes of snow ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ Published by @thesolitarydaisy.bsky.social, thank you for honoring #haiku so beautifully. 🙏 Friends featured: @owlnsquirrels1111.bsky.social @moritherapy.bsky.social #PoetryCommunity

The tree in the forest does not resist the autumn’s claim It yields, season after season In a #humble murmur it reveals: to #fight is sometimes to release for only the unburdened spirit can rise toward its truest form. #naturephotography #trees #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #vss365

- the wasteland rages, white & gray, a snowblown case of entropy. winds intone their agony, snowdevils contort in shadowed pagan rites. against the seething scrim, a yellowed tuft of grass fights the desecration. seeks a moment of peace - apricity upon its blades. - #poetry #vss365 #read

December branchlet grace hidden deep down to freeze or to fight? #inkMine #freeze #vss365 #fight #haiku #blueskypoets

Dawn quietly asks who we were before this light I answer with you In the gold of a new beginning doubt briefly becomes truth #Nature #Sky #Clouds #Sunrise #Photography #Skyphotography #Bluesky #Naturephotography #Poetry #MicroPoetry #Tanka #Haiku #SkyPoets #BlueskyPoets

scoring the slate of darkness she challenged the night through cicadas & roosters #fighting to unsettle it in a swarm of dreams still night remained night holding its portion of day deep within itself #vss365 #poetry #WritingCommunity #blueskypoets

As the years go by, I no longer yearn for solitary adventures, but for people with whom to share my life. I believe the greatest adventures are those we create with those we love, and the deepest longings are the ones that ultimately bring peace. #blueskyrelay #yearn

amid the magic of my dreams my broken & beautiful heart begins to harmoniously heal begins to beat again to the precious rhythm of your love of your humble soul & those eyes of yours that gaze upon me your arms that embrace me i sink into for within my reverie i am finally home

It wasn’t a matter of if embarrassing the pilots, or making them #humble. Chewing them out for making the smallest of mistakes was saving their lives. Or trying to, at least, and Dylan had no love for it himself. But mistakes had costs in battle. At least in training, they usually survived. #vss365

Intensely briney moments Casting winters warming lights Love songs crashing waves Spinning tilting bright ends Shifting soon to brighten days Spinning to eastern rising shores Sands feet feeling heart's throb's Northern pearls edges touches Pacific Ocean's Trails 🌊💙🌏🦪🌎💚🌿

Dancing naked winter trees Through flooded mirrored fields Roots fabulously fresh nutrients Feeling clouded fresh rises With very deep blue shapes Pacific Range Trails 🌲🌲🌲💚💙🌿🌿🌿

In the hush of a misty morning the world remains humble in its silence reminding us that not everything must be seen to be deeply understood. #NaturePhotography #LandscapePhotography #Nature #Photography #Naturelovers #Mistymornings #vss365 #humble #Poetry #MicroPoetry #SkyPoets #BlueskyPoets

"Spirituality is not a transaction with the universe. It is an endeavor that we take up because it is our ultimate mode of being. If we get nothing for it, we should not be bothered." Deng Ming-Dao, 365 Tao Daily Meditations

In the illusion I am the master of my destiny In the absence of humility I am king But in the fact Without the sun My world would be dark And without the gentle rain I would thirst for the green And when I look back My footprints won't be black I remain a #humble being #vss365

Ride the wheels off of your life. #7syllablesentence #ride

Twilight lengthens. It does it slowly like grief once did. The river touches the banks again and again. The sun withdraws. The birds turn, obedient to what remains. So many are absent now. We #reminisce with #gratitude among what we miss. #blueskyrelay #vss365

Hello everyone. The #blueskyrelay prompt for December 19 is #reminisce @poetguygabe.bsky.social is the #BlueSkyRelay host December 17-31. #Blueskyrelay will be on hiatus in 2026 until further notice. Here are the prompts through December. Happy Holidays! Thank you for your fabulous posts! 🐬🦋🏝️🌊🐳

in its rigid calm the winter tree stands stiff forgetting the sap that once moved through still underground it keeps boiling outlasting time there’s no drama only a raw stubborn #gratitude for the pressure below #vss365 #poetry #WritingCommunity #blueskypoets 📸 Greg & Chrystal Mimbs

When we allow ourselves to be so simple life is no longer a task but a breath... #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #landscapes #trees #woods #forest #blackandwhite #monochrome #photography

Raise your eyes to sky where tender wonders linger hoping you’ll look back #Nature #Sky #Clouds #Sunrise #Photography #Skyphotography #Bluesky #Naturelovers #Naturephotography #Haiku #Poetry #Micropoetry #Skypoets

I wake with one butterfly wing instead of an arm. Inconvenient, maybe. Difficult to drive, possibly. But I do get more time with the little ones, and their #gratitude is more than enough. Unravelling her knotted hair, my youngest asks when I'm going to grow the other one. #vss365

Dylan supposed he should have #gratitude for the new class of ships the Faction had created using recovered Enemy technology, but he didn’t like it. The Enemy were insidious and cunning. He would stick with Magpie, maybe with weapons upgrades, but that was it. He didn’t trust the tech. #vss365

there wrapped within the mystery of you i found a gratitude for kismet for in loving you completely utterly beautifully loving all of you where you ignited my soul with such an breathless yearning i realised until i found you i hadn't found me the missing piece that completes me #vss365 #moonmystic

She came back from people lighter each time, healed of herself somehow. A smile did it. Or a word that opened things up. She left mirages and wells of #regret for something that almost felt like happiness. #vss365 📸 K. Zykova

Beautiful bright glow at sunset across the snowy field in Minnesota ❄️ #Photography #Photographers #BlueSkyArt #EastCoastKin #Sunset #Nature #Minnesota

Regrets come knocking but I won't let them in Each year they linger on my steps again When they are gone I open up the deadbolt and the chain And sweep away the residue from when they came #vss365 #regret #poetry

- after the fall, indistinct among the masses, one snowflake separates against a slate sky. it alights gentle upon my finger, smiles in gratitude, lingers then fades. and i know i must become a snowflake: live singularly, die beautifully, depart with no regrets. - #poetry #vss365 #read

snowflakes on the doe’s eyelashes softly, they fall #haiku #dailyhaikuprompt #nature #naturephotography

A bare tree at sunset during the Christmas season, needs no ornaments or lights The magic of the sky dresses it in wonder✨ #Nature #Sky #Clouds #Sunset #Goldenhour #AfterSunDown #Photography #Skyphotography #Naturephotgraphy #Landscapes #Natrelovers #Trees

she #recalls the days when walls gave way & time went on without metronome each obstacle crossed as if it were breath dawns opened the sky after nights layered with metaphor & relief yes, that season thin like summer grass lived long enough to be missed on & on #vss365 #poetry 📸H.Kaspar

the #yulan tree sways in #recall of April sheen blooming afterthought #haikuchallenge #vss365 #haiku #blueskypoets

- mists draw thick ‘round riversedge; i shiver in the kneedeep of its currents. memory grows graceless with age; blueskin mottles in decay as though i am become a bruise. but those nettling pains all succumb; there is only mist and current and what recalls me. - #poetry #vss365 #read

Recall the whisper of broken halls where shadows breathe and sorrow coils a white rose rises pale and trembling granting hope yet haunted by illusion the soul dissolves in moonlight while the abyss waits with silent hunger 📷pinterest #vss365 #recall #poetry #darkpoetry #skypoets

wet leaves on pavement withdrawing autumn swallows heaps of memories #vss365 #memory #DailyHaikuPrompt #swallow #haiku 📸 M. McCleary

love does not vanish with loss it transforms into quiet strength a gentle presence in the heart a #memory worth keeping for it proves they were worth remembering grief softens into light and hope walks beside you always 📷pinterest #vss365 #Poetry #Skypoets #Petslovers #Animallovers
