Took our houseguest to the Shedd Aquarium. Yes, I live in Chicago. 30 years ago...

don't worry the Prozac is on board happy girl shall be with you shortly

this year I'm surviving only out of spite

Thank you artists poets and writers of Bluesky this is for you— Prue. May 2026 be kinder and May you keep creating. They will call it soft. They will call it indulgent. They will say now is not the time as if time has ever been gentle enough to wait. #poetry #writers #artists #poets

I'm late to the advent calander . But I decided to have 25 days of small indulgences instead through January. Day one did not disappoint. Fruit filled truffle- blueberry.

New Years should be filled with joy and optimism but today I'm carrying forward sadness I wish it were different something's never change Eat the rich I'll open the champagne when he dies Maybe I'll feel more optimistic tomorrow

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Auld Lang Syne on the Streets, long time loving beneath The sheets, sweaty start. #BedroomEyesPrompt #AuldLangSyne #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @oldsoulprose.bsky.social @southernjam.bsky.social

In case no one has told you today.

One of you is getting a gift tonight. Don't blow it.

Beauty on the last morning of the year

Save a midnight kiss For me, I will probably Be asleep by ten. #BedroomEyesPrompt #MidnightKiss #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @oldsoulprose.bsky.social @southernjam.bsky.social

Nursing recruiters stop calling me. No, I don't wanna give up my weekend and many hours unpaid charting to do home health. My back says no way Jose .

Cookies, donuts and pickles for dinner. I swear I'm not pregnant.

Goodies from Galena. Spent my Xmas money.

Not me singing 80s music loudly in an antique shop ...

Roadtrippin. Haven't been to Galena in the winter. Light snow.

40 years was not enough. Happy 75th anniversary . (The second wife does not count.)

Your struggles mirror mine, entwined Your #travels stirs my depths divine. our thoughts in silent grace, align Your heartbeat pulses into mine. Love lingers upon your sweet lips Your eyes portal to your soul Your embrace, the crest & climb, The symphony of my sacred rhyme. ~rev #vss365

They're still prepping a wall space for these but was delighted to see them up on display this morning and people asking about them at Spill The Beans, huge thanks again to the team there! 😊😊🙏✨️❤️

Not a fan of the "skeets" terminology either, which is why I prefer to call my posts "les petites morts."

A life up in flames Years past yet still finding ash My soul left sooty. #HaikuFeels #ash #haiku #senryu

The cold, a soundrel In its eyes a winter glint Such chilly mischief. #BSPP48 #WinterGlint #haiku #senryu

Your body next to mine, as we waltz through time our movement synchronised, your caress precise as your lips perform a dance all their own to which I melt in return hard to conceive we could reach a final turn yet if we do let it spin & s p i n #BedroomEyes #LastDance @oldsoulprose.bsky.social

balmy winter porch sun melts rooftop icicles dog stretches at my feet #haiku icicles balmy #poem #poetry  #DailyHaikuPrompt

cold call cold snap cold stare from the face of the night's full moon #haiku cold full moon #poem #poetry #DailyHaikuPrompt

traveling familiar roads tepid ice and snow to find the unbeaten path new treasures unfold what stories will today hold #traveling #vss365

Even though it was Our last dance, that gentle waltz Replays in my mind. #BedroomEyesPrompt #LastDance #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @oldsoulprose.bsky.social @southernjam.bsky.social
