#SenseWrds 166 #poetry #freeverse #poetrycommunity

Posed and preserved Tears reserved for after Alone like I am now with Fewer onlookers, a view Of a suit he hated in life Picked by a wife who Never asked, wasn’t up To the task at hand as They passed the flag Eyes to the ground as The trumpets played #SenseWrds 167 #poetry #prompt #writingcommunity

An idea came to walk the road again, take a new direction, try another junction then right there on the road we met the way we always do and I chose once more to start anew again and again always with you. #sensewrds Inspiration Intersecting Beginnings #prompt 166

We hid our feelings like origami— bending them into secrets only we could see we'd meet within the walls of what we built to share our dreams any passers by would just see light refracted off the ornate walls of our shared enclosure. #sensewrds #Prompt 167 Folding Beautiful Difficulties

Welcome to a new week of #WIPSnips! The word for January 5th is "benefit" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I’ll always cherish That first winter for you I bundled you up In a full snow suit Took you outside In your small boots Excited to see the Footprints of you And maybe make A snowman or two Instead, you cried As the snow produced A crunching sound That left you spooked #wildwalkprompt #footprint

Underneath the lash Strikes at my back from behind Not bent but arching #wildwalkprompt #haiku #blueskypoet #arch #love

A single footprint, Like someone stepped briefly through Our reality. #WildWalkPrompt #footprint #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @sonnetsmith.bsky.social

don't remember my footprints ephemeral artifacts, soon covered by fresh snow — think about me in the way the rainbow greets sky and ground; airy smiles spanning your heart don't miss my presence as long as there's sun you may find me dancing amongst fresh blooms #WildWalkPrompt #poetry #mourning

#WildWalkPrompt Winter visitor Checks his list, leaving only Footprints in the snow #Haiku #nature #poetry #blueskypoet #footprints #christmas #Santa

#wildwalkprompt I'd never seen Another #footprint In the snow On our road Other than ours Rabbits Squirrels Birds Sure Even a random moose But a person So far out I had to know Who It was Why they were there In hindsight Probably not The best idea

#OurPoetryX @OurPoetryX Prompt for 5 January -Start fresh- New year, resolutions, this time of year we like to shake off the old, drop our burdens and start fresh. It’s not easy to build new routines, but it’s worth starting. From the vault: Misty evening

Autumn 📝 A touch of cold in the Autumn night – I walked abroad, And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge Like a red-faced farmer. I did not stop to speak, but nodded, And round about were the wistful stars With white faces like town children. T. E. Hulme

#WyrdWednesday falls on St Distaff’s Day this year, when in olden days spinning commenced again after the holidays. A great time for storytelling, so we give you: "Wyrd Women's Tales!" As this week’s topic – come and tell your story!

Sometimes life is like Trudging down a snowbound path Then I seek your hearth. #BSPP49 #snowboundpath #haiku #senryu

why does my heart beat louder every time we're alone... hoe can we get so hot when this world can be so cold... you promised me a river and I wait patiently for these snowbound path's to melt #BSPP49 #poem #poetry #writerscommunity

the path to our goals seldom a smooth direct road maximize detours #BSPP49 path #senryu

Walk the #snowbound #path the mountain beckons as you journey round and round in a spiral encircling the tor the scenery seems the same but if you look carefully the view is different with each rotation #BSPP49 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

snowlight lanterns a light by which we feel navigating this uncertain world Love helps us see #BSPP49 #poem #poetrycommunity #writerslift

Can you see it move and sway, that snowlight lantern, drawing us closer, back to log fires, to thaw and return feeling to our feet, before we climb into bed for a night full of dreams. #BSPP49

Some called him a Titan, others a giant or troll. It no longer mattered. He was the last of his kind, and he was tired. The little people were changing everything. There was no more fight left in him, so he laid on the ground and let the trees become his boreal shroud. #BSPP49 #borealShroud

A night with no end as The days have lost number Loss encumbered by a Story slipping past, of Last rights delivered a Shiver at a memory of Warmth never returned A single lantern light in The haze, through the Snow, a faerie’s gaze Upon a night with no end #BSPP49 #poetry #blueskypoetry

A snowlight lantern Guiding through the winter night Falling like fireflies. #BSPP49 #SnowlightLantern #haiku #senryu

snowbound path buried, on the pale hill smoke rising, a life out of reach #BSPP49 #SnowboundPath #haiku #writing #writingcommunity #micropoetry

Jan. 5 Snowbound path winds through untouched drifts, tracks erased by nightly fall. Each step deliberate, measured against frost’s fine restraint. The journey extends outward, turns inward— immersed in white, held within silence. #BlueSkyPoetry #prompt Snowbound Path #BSPP49 #JanHiberna

Lining the snowbound Path, garden gnomes, various Displays of undress. #BSPP49 #SnowboundPath #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @blueskypoetry.bsky.social

The sun goes down temperature plummet but the pure glow as the beam from a #snowlight #lantern illuminates the icy path on your way home #BSPP49 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

The arch held The hopes we had The dreams we made It stayed long after Dismantled, but strong Holding to a memory Under boxes and Wood turned to rot We sought redemption In the rusted remains Of trust regained Through an arch our Dreams hold strong #wildwalkprompt #arch #poetry #writingcommunity
