from abt a yr ago & the moment has caught up

#heartfelt there are those who would shield you but see if you might coax them to soften, even rest and just notice how the world appears to unguarded eyes #vss365

poems in the dark small of your back streetlight windows what is morning write do we forge or spill fill the air with sound wanting to be the rain do we song some place calling us to be guided to is our unseen a path wearing our scents finding poem a dove tailed canvas where heart lives

heartfelt or heart numb whatever survival takes keep loving yourself the world has no boundaries so it's your job to set them #vss365 #heartfelt #tanka

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it. Mary Oliver (“Sometimes,” from Red Bird)

Soft rain today at Carlingwark Loch.

it was a mistake stretching like a flood filling the space softness pull pushing the wolf-hungry needs from some unknown center as if stars inside me await a supernova wish unfurling a lifted agony knowing I am not alone #FromOneLine No. 401 #micropoetry #poetry

So Much To Say Too much to fear A #Heartfelt Heartache Keeps lips away #vss365 #poetry

take care of yourself and each other today & everyday

refrigerator art days stick figures with balloon heads smiling, standing, holding hands, no one missing the surrounding world with a smiling sun a heartfelt palette told in crayons just out of the box, colors rich, aim sharp, bodies unbroken no one missing #vss365 #heartfelt #poetry #micropoetry

A different kind of elsewhere today.

I wrote a book! A dark, lyrical noir about grief, predators, and the stories we tell to survive. A weary investigator. A haunted vampire. A city that keeps applauding the wrong monsters. Some crimes never stay buried. Some ghosts want justice. It's on Prime a.co/d/dNDu13Q #booksky #horrorsky

"An Elegy for My Neighbor, Renee Nicole Good" - by Danez Smith "Neighbor, you should have made it home to your child, to the bright warmth of his laughter, but our country is at war with its people, and your goodness makes you an enemy, a citizen insurgent." www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/feat...

I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras. Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom. They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water. (📷: Fernando Maidana)

Today’s snip from my #HitchHikersGuideToTheGalaxy #FanFic, where Marvin reflects on part of his thirteen billion year (give or take a few million years) time away from the others … #TheBestBangSinceTheBigOne

Wow 🥹🥰 ‘The Fisher King’ has been getting all kinds of love on Bandcamp and YouTube since Tuesday. It means so much to me that people have been listening to my little record. Thank you so much 😊

Pt363 Everyone back home had thought Neña was #kooky, digging up the past, going backwards into Indian ways when she was supposed to be in Oklahoma ascending the educational ladder. They were wrong. Neña HAD made a #climb up, getting two educations at once & advancing su familia. #vss365 #WIPSnips

Surround yourself with the kind of people who make small talk with stray animals.

I parallel parked so bad that I had to leave and find a new space.

Hello lovelies. I've been time travelling via a dictionary of Victorian slang. Here's a tiny blog about my trip. Hope you enjoy. 2 mins read #logophile #WritingCommunity #blog www.jennygaitskell.com/single-post/...

the signs went unmissed slashed social fabric failing our fingers bloodied but our poems not mending the gaps fast enough, the ooze squeezing through claiming to restrain evil, says the evil but we remember the shredded fabric the fallen poems and the blood upon the snow #vss365 #unmissed #poetry

Forget the riverside, come find new degrees of silence in different parts of the heart, near its tombstones upon half buried stories.

hope this road leads to nowhere; hope it delivers, somehow, peace of mind… in the distance, yet more bends; each turn becomes a new friend. #vss365 #delivery #haiku #tanka #poetry #photography #eastcoastkin #ForestFriday #scape #PNW #ClassicMono #art photo: a peaceful drive through the forest

#Unmissable Their heinous acts, Admissible In court These ICE Ain’t law enforcement They’re just thugs— The fascist sort America Best wake up Or lose hard won Liberty Cuz Nazis Are like herpes… But cause “social” Misery We must stop Their evil comeback Or from them Ne’er be free #vss365

if you could gild your bloated black heart you'd carve it from your chest to wear as a medal and believe yourself adorned #vss365 #adorn #poetry #micropoetry

The image of the blood-soaked airbag next to the glove compartment overflowing with stuffed animals is going to stick with me for a very long time.

I don't know what it meant when I finally connected all the dots but it sure looked unlike I do visual story straightforwardly

After looking in the mirror, I reluctantly admit that ingénue is no longer a career option.

YouTube! I created a number of photo collages inspired by the music and included them in the video. Enjoy! The Fisher King - Full Album youtu.be/ZaqnqDLQyTw

We had a good run

Don’t tell my fortune, my tea leaves when the bag burst. Don’t read my palm, paint splattered life line. I will walk into the room without the light on & invariably bump into something but you don’t have to tell me. Sometimes I find things better if I stumble in the dark… #thingstowriteabout

Pro tip: Turn off all your recurring subscriptions. Walk toward the horizon.

The things I leave out make the story. The things I leave in make the fibers of the carpet on which you fly.

The stories are in the scars. Unblemished is a rattle for infants.

I’ll draw a partial sun in the upper corner of the paper, but I’m gonna give it a full smiley face and some rays. We’re all doing the best we can.

walking the mind into future now a principle breath gain of function the conjunction of two box cars carrying coal said a sold soul is a diamond in the bush away we go in lapse phrasing and the funny things we say to ourselves when we awaken to a new anything after making promises in the dark
