it is no surprise to me that #whimsical comes from the earlier whim-wham— a trick, something untrustworthy. leave it to the world to let that slide into feminine charm, pedantically adorable. #Emoetry @fafo-poets-society.bsky.social @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social

Christmas is inspired by the word #survive. @paintbuywords.bsky.social #vss365 @vss365hq.bsky.social

inspired by Clarence Major's novel Reflex and Bone Structure which changes me forever every time I read it and the following prompt words: #shoot @paintbuywords.bsky.social #vss365 @vss365hq.bsky.social #replenish @poetguygabe.bsky.social #BlueSkyRelay @blueskyrelay.bsky.social

maybe. this one. i want to put my #forgettery with your forgettery side by side, no questions asked. we can trade what’s too heavy. keep what still hums. leave with less than we carried, not nothing. @poetguygabe.bsky.social #BlueSkyRelay @blueskyrelay.bsky.social

this wasn't it. #forgettery @poetguygabe.bsky.social #BlueSkyRelay @blueskyrelay.bsky.social

i want to put my #forgettery with your forgettery until we both get what we came here for. just enough forgetting to keep going, just enough remembering to know why. @poetguygabe.bsky.social #BlueSkyRelay @blueskyrelay.bsky.social
