I’m starting a #poetry #substack! Mostly #haiku, related forms, & imagistic micropoetry. Anyone in the space, def comment with your account, I’d love to connect with other writers & poets 📚♥️ Hopefully I get my head around the platform fast haha . before daylight deep in the forest of lilacs

summer twilight you let the jasmine grow . #haikufeels #haiku #poetry #writing #naturepoetry 📸 - Olga Prusakova

it wakes me again : that primordial ache I wander searching through the profound, silver hour before daylight deep in the forest of lilacs hunter’s bow strung like a harp desire : a wound : a tensing before the flower is plucked from the fog like music . #micropoetry

the hush precipitating dawn : between shadows : sky’s barest glow : imbued campus sleeps : sunken dew : coalesces from ether open storm drains exuding mist & here in the indistinguishable exhumed hour : light mistifies one window : orange an empty stairwell : emitting glow . #micropoetry

cold plums : in the shade of thunder . #dailyhaikuprompt
