The hummingbird visits our trumpet flowers again, hovering like it is the easiest thing in the world - and maybe it is, for such an ethereal bird - it carries such beauty that it bleeds into my dreams, where it flits around me, lighting on outstretched hand. #poetry #poem #writing #birds

I am feeling really fucking burned out by humanity tonight, folks. I don't think I'm alone in that. Feeling pretty hopeless. That's it. That's the poem.

#Footsteps on porch; spot fallen leaf with live pothos. Old and new mingle. #DailyHaikuPrompt #haiku #poem #poetry #photography

Take the veil off Pull the wool off your eyes Your gut knows the truth You've been lying to yourself because you didn't want to believe it And it hurts I'm so sorry that it hurts But now you can heal Healing won't happen overnight But you will heal I promise #WordPromptChallenge #Veil #Poetry

Oh, I need this today. I love you, too, Mom. 🥹 #death #grief #moms #parents

sunlit fields of gold a solitary flower trampled underfoot #haiku #poem #poetry

September rain; a neighborhood nursery teeming with life - Mississippi kite teaches her young to soar; fledgling crow is learning its call, and mantle slug has taken over the stray kit house. I stand here - a room where we await how nature will unfold. #MPPrompt #poetry #writing #photography

We talked of small things that weren't so small: The warmth of the winter sun while I walked, alone; Which planets were out, and how colorful it set, the sun. #SenseWrds #prompt 123 #poetry #poem #winter #photography

Going to do an impromptu bi-visibility day #lifttothesky for @mother-poet.bsky.social as she’s possibly one of the best poets on this site and everyone should be following her

bellwether of taboo love, Juliet dances with heartache #vss365 #bellwether #haikufeels #ache #haiku #poetry #art #photography #nature photo: mine -Modern statue of Juliet Capulet at an outdoor art park (Pyramid Hill in OH). She both dances & aches, knowing her love to Romeo is forbidden. See ALT.

Yasss. I came out almost a year ago as bi, although I realize now I am more omni. As my therapist says, the definitions are a bit "squidgy" - I will still wear my bi pride stuff. Happy bi visibility day 💖

An old #photo from 2013 to go with the #poem I chose to share for today's #DailyHaikuPrompt, #spray (it isn't a #haiku, but they say use whatever form so 🤷‍♀️) #poetry #poetrycommunity #writing #writingcommunity #dreams #photography (even if it isn't the greatest 😆) #bloomscrolling #autumn #October

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

Happy Equinox!

This is typically a November feeling for me, but with the equinox upon us (and with an actual gloomy, fall-like day where I live), I'm sharing today. Happy #equinox, friends, and take care of yourselves as we inch into seasonal depression territory 💖 #poem #poetry #writing #villanelle #autumn

I got raptured but I kept info-dumping about the history of Midwest emo, so they sent me back.

I have always loved this poem. (I did not create this image - I found it in 2018 from Mary's official Facebook account) #MaryOliver #Poem #Poetry #Fall #Autumn

Goodnight, World 🌎 #music is #poetry

Lain in #grass of velvet, eyes seeking stars, hands trusting earth, there is hope

Going to try to continue posting at least one #poem daily from the #poetry #archives that I found last weekend. Here's today's:

fall foliage feeds a starved nation hungry for reinvigoration #vss365 #reinvigorate #haikufeels #fall #haiku #poetry #micropoetry #writingcommunity #photography #eastcoastkin #mountainmonday photo: mine- Fall at Zion National Park in UT. Golden trees against a stunning mountain/blue sky backdrop

#Kitten report! Recap: stray had four kittens under our back deck. After about 5 days, they disappeared but mama would come eat daily. After about 8 weeks, she brought them back. We have been trying to catch them so we can foster them. We finally caught one tonight! Meet Ripley 🐈 #cats #foster

I just want you to be happy. Easy words to say, difficult words to mean, and now I know: not impossible words to live. #poem #poetry

Poetry prompt: Autumn equinox 🍂 (And some melancholy inspiration)

autumn vespers the north wind delivers its somber sermon #haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt
