the mountain’s edge hidden in cloud- still there #haiku #poetry

Embers of #catastrophe the only light that remains earth devoured by greed ecosystems stripped bare Irreparable fate… We get back what we give, not what we take #vss365

#Yearn is a word that I don’t like So I’m going to let it burn With all the other once upon a yearns I no longer feel its dire desire My core now tangos with fire I walk like a flame My heart doesn’t break It bends at my will untamed #vss365

#Constellations late to light the sky regret after midnight #vss365 #constellation

willow in the stream fish slipping through your branches silvergreen as leaves

Beveled fragments of memory #seethe words I no longer understand, as the familiar becomes foreign with each new moon. #vss365

Quote with a touch of green.. Mine…

#photography #forest #birds Birds flying through an evening forest scene

(I’m back after a long, unintended hiatus—fine just busy) Curdling like milk #abject misery sours the air the pungency stings as I gather this malady and carry it to a certain end out with the rest of the trash #vss365

Absorbing #sunbeams between sneezes pollen season #vss365

Sometimes I just wander #Clarity escapes me And uncertainty follows me Blurriness on the horizon Ambiguity at every turn Chaos is my guiding light No sense of purpose But loving the vagueness Of nowhere And nothingness Wandering in twilight #vss365 #poetry #poem unsplash.com

#vss365 #prompt #wraith It's Sunday Storyteller time! #wraith – A ghost or shadowy apparition, often seen as an omen Today, a whisper from my #DreamsThatBite project. Not yet ready for release, but the Wraith demanded to be heard! #microfiction #HorrorWriting What does your apparition say?

A light in the darkness though no beacon of safety the #anglerfish awaits prey just like grandmama holding a single candle 🕯️ at midnight’s stroke #vss365 #writing

Drew this Mermaid sketch yearss ago. I could do much better with the anatomy now. But I still like the way her tail and the rock looks. #mermay #sketchbook #art

A song of #hiraeth edges the periphery of my heart notes felt more than heard #vss365

Here I stand surrounded by trees this forest the only place where #life flourishes I hear my sadness cry herself to sleep finally #vss365 #writing

Standing in the #interim of sweeping actions before subsequent consequences sanity wanes wondering how many hungry mouths in foreclosed homes will befall neighbors friends family ourselves #vss365 #writing

Eighties love letter

Your words, sharp and jagged, leave crisscross scars on my trust, etching paths I can't navigate without stumbling. I reach for the warmth I once knew, but find only cold echoes, a fractured map of friendship lost to the weight of your betrayal. #vss365

You can tread on my grave until any hint of it has been obliterated I’ve already risen above your reach just as in life I evaded capture Willed my blood to bleed black cloaked myself in shadows when hatred came to slay Lost all and still flew f r e e #writing

Back injury flared up this week and real life has been busy, so I still have not returned to writing or prompts on here (or elsewhere) yet.

A poem about hope, my favorite piece I’ve written. #poetsofbluesky #poetry #vss365 - sweet

Dusk hums with the #vespers the only stirring a gentle breeze I kneel to the sacred and reveal nothing waiting to mourn as others will her death and her evil life well, that was mine to take #vss365

just a breath away from the earth falling leaf #haiku

how the lonely hours linger. #7syllablesentence (how)

Words often fail when speaking of love and loss.

Poems remind us of our humanity because, sometimes, the lines break. Just like humans do. And what comfort to know you can break and still be understood.
