‪Gentle remnants of what’s left of the day, soft contours cast by the moon. Footsteps drift closer, trees murmur and stretch. No peace lingers in these empty streets. @sensewords.bsky.social‬ Prompt 169 Traces Evening Shadows

There wasn’t much left It’s all gone to waste Only a hint of sadness Left on your face Dull eyes looking back Into a past of disgrace No apologies are made The words have a bad taste #sensewrds

At the corners a lift A glint, a brief stint of Happiness contained Unrestrained for a Moment escaped for A world not ready, Scraped yet heavy Upon a filter askew, a Simple smile shows, With joy I never knew #SenseWrds 170 #prompt #poetry #writingcommunity #blueskypoetry

Memory hands me a kaleidoscope Your face your hands in every moment The span of years compressed Reflects in the unquiet water With moon and stars Change phases with every emotion Bright and dark Sweep an arc across our time An antidote to my cynicism A reminder of how to love #sensewrds 170

Are you looking at peoples faces — strangers, and kindred? I can’t quantify if I’m more afraid of no expression or flaming hate. I’ve had the grace of extensive travel,many expressed frustration with Americans because of our naive joi de vivre. No worries it’s gone. #SenseWrds 170 #writingprompt

#SenseWrds (Quiet Dazzling Mercy) With failures weighing me down, I begged for compassion. The amount you gave stunned me. Without words you forgave me, helping my to accept myself Kei_Therapeutic_Art pixabay.com

How dare the night gleam when you are not there? What audacity for the moon to smile so without you is it okay to cry when the sky suggests I do otherwise? Perhaps, like Janus, I can show one face to the stars & hold another closer to my heart. #sensewrds 170 Expressions Absence Sparkling

I know not if this is just weather the north's whipping winds will turn south & warm once again or if I am doomed to memories stirred by a lingering smell that fades over time destined to weep on the day I decide your scent is gone but my heart tells me I must become a man of faith #SenseWrds 169

As dusk falls, the light reveals snail, slime paths, steadfast little creepers. They pursue their way with diligence, nighttime not a problem, silhouette , can’t cast one. Politics not on their horizon. Not on ICE’s radar. I find myself envying the humble snail. #SenseWrds 169 #writingprompts

He leaves me gifts in the half light between day & night— in its muted hues the deep waters of his dark eyes his hands found in the branches of shaded trees reaching out to me the soft brush of his lips imbued in the dusk air's gentle kiss treasures hidden so I don't have to miss him #sensewrds

#sensewrds 169 When I was a child, I’d sleep with my grandmother when I visited. Every night, my grandfather would come in, kiss her 3 times and say I love you. From time to time, I feel him visiting me at the side of my bed, perhaps kissing me 3 times I love you, like he always did.

When my son was four He became aware of death Fear overwhelmed him He was afraid I would die Which seemed then so improbable Here in this night Men in masks hunt people Another's son cries Nothing to stop his tears We hold out our hands Empty of answers Why isn't good enough #sensewrds 169

AURORA BOREALIS The night began in color, drained into soft grey ghosts undulating across the heavens. Green and pink arrived at retinas only as vaguely hinted potentialities As encircling civilization's blazing footlight blotted out my night vision. #SenseWrds prompt 169

My daily talisman a fresh hanky, my cotton worry beads. Its state represents my joys and drears. The children settle in the reading circle, and my hanky goes under my sleeve. Words are a share of wonder. Amorous teens, imagine themselves invisible in the stacks, I become the ogre. #SenseWrds 167 #

Lacking in spice and seasoning, a life yet to shine, to be vivacious, roaming free, drifting in the wind like the drama of the sea. But the spark is there, somewhere. ‪ @owlnsquirrels1111.bsky.social‬ #SenseWrds Prompt 162 Twinkling Effervescent Nutmeg

The dream unravelled like liquid silk sliding away I tried clinging on but only fragments remained— a purple stain, a vague outline in burgundy hinting at change— some new stage bringing peace, but only after pain & I thought, I know this game— but okay let's play it again. #SenseWrds 168
