#Eventualties Death, taxes, Hunger, And thirst And the need to write #poetry which shall flow from this touchscreen onto the Bluesky in an ugly paragraph for what is poetry but ways of seeing and communicating even if just filtered through a phone #vss365 #poem #writingcommunity

Night’s quiet rock comes Says much without a whisper Leaves, yet will return #dailyhaikuprompt #Rock #Haiku #Poetry #Writing #Moon #BlueskyPhotography #Nightsky #Monochrome #B&W #Nature #Moonscape #Skywatching #FullMoon

Small Gods: Terry Pratchett

The morning after: There is some drizzle. It says in John eleven- Three-five: "Jesus wept." But it's probable The 'eventuality', As forecast, was wrong. #haiku #opengoal #rapture #vss365 #eventuality #6syllablewordsdontfazeme

My rapture went well: Just a mild headache, and touch Of schadenfreude. One of which will be Cured by coffee. The other ha ha ha ha ha #haiku #rapture #gotanytylenol?

If I were Jesus I'd start kicking arse; taking Names of false prophets. #haiku #rapture #credibilitygap

I don't normally Take the piss to this extent But all bets are off. #haiku #rapture

Fare well, Dickie Bird Old Father Time raises a Finger to say "out" (I know that Father Time is the weather vane at Lords and Dickie was a proud Yorkshire man, so a Headingly reference would have been more apt, but he was made a honorary lifetime member of the M.C.C!)

@paddy-roberts.bsky.social Haiku for Dicky Bird: Farewell, Dickie Bird Old Father Time raises a Finger and says "Out" (Father Time is used to refer to the famous weather vane at Lords, where Dicky was made an honorary life member in 1996, but you knew that already!) #haiku #dickybird #cricket

I think I might name a character ‘Bellwether’ and have everybody listen very closely to what he said and then do anything *but* what he wants them to do. 🤔😅

I am now intrigued As to whether I will* write The perfect sonnet. (*please don't write in. I Understand it's less likely Than today's rapture.) #haiku #sonnet #rapture

Rowan Atkinson: The Devil youtu.be/9e9xM1zei3A

She was my #Bellwether bride Gave me warning Of the turning of the tide Rest of my family Was distant Barely even knew Thar I existed But in the end All slowly drifted I guess this just the hell That I was gifted But don't get it twisted It's what I already predicted #vss365

When the rapture fails To happen, can we get back To the here and now? #haiku #rapture

As raptures go, this Has been slow burn. Perhaps it's Delayed? News at nine. #rapture #haiku

I demand service! And I'll ring that bell, whether Or not you like it. #vss365 #bellwether

maybe tomorrow I’ll be kind when this tearful tale is one day older maybe tomorrow I’ll forgive when memories wane and hell is colder #Emoetry #kindness

Ride it, don't hide it; No point waiting for God: He ain't coming today. #rapture

Each haiku, verbal Medication, a stress test Of meditation. #WeirdMicro #CosmicCozy #Meditation #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @weirdmicro.bsky.social

#BornBattleReady #Untamed defiance Growing within Crevices of one's heart Valour... Isn't Fighting or Intimidating A silent tear Shed for the voiceless And a determined heart Staring into the eyes of an oppressor... Is!

We greet these skies Those whispered sighs Of Mabon's Autumn breath With hue of flame Eternal game Heralds winter death Now heed the call Embracing fall We wait for Spring's revival For all things die The reason why? #Reinvigorates survival #vss365

He finally said The quiet part out loud, he Hates his opponents. Commonwealth countries Offer limp recognition, Too little, too late. Warlords whipped into Frenzy, Gaza, Ukraine in Flames, tantrums flaring. #DailyHaikews #haiku #senryu #poem #writing @sonnetsmith.bsky.social #writingcommunity

So, correct me if I'm wrong, the rapture is when all the evangelists go off to meet Jesus in the heavenly playing fields, leaving the rest of us behind. And this is not a win:win situation?

Pen y Fan is tall For a mountain in South Wales But it's not K2.

Misty River Wye, This last morning of summer, Reinvigorated! #vss365 #reinvigorate

The moon is full of many things of men, perhaps, and diamond rings There could be cheddar in all the craters with sour cream for baked potaters Ye astronauts now tell me true: If moon is cheese, please say it's bleu #vss365

We will all be dead But the planet will survive This fucking madness. So it's not all bad. Better if they'd found their peace Here, but never mind...

#vss365 #perhaps

If you could give me The date, time, place of this rapt ... You can't? Of course not.

Today's #DailyHaikuPrompt word, #chrysanthemum, made me think of this #poem I wrote almost exactly a year ago. #poetry #autumn #mums #bloomscrolling #photography #fall #autumn #grief #death

#perhaps the trap was all these maps telling us who is who and what to speak and how to dance and what to eat and given the chance who to kill for lines some stranger drew #vss365 #WritingCommunity #halfbadpoetry

Perhaps my only Purpose is to be a light In someone's darkness #vss365 #haiku

Sadly, Bluesky's character-limitation is prejudiced against sonnets. #sonnet

I'll crumble, perhaps, Or stew in my own juices, But I'll not be tart. #vss365 #perhaps

School made me unbearably sad; it was where I was constantly bullied. I was born into privilege, but struggled in every way possible. Was there something I wanted to be when I grew up, #perhaps? Not really. Somewhere in the background was my family, pulling me into line, squashing my dreams. #vss365

I read Calvin & Hobbes like it’s one of my jobs and it’s taught me there’s joy in belief. When I read Charlie Brown, if I’m up or I’m down, it reminds me that life has good grief. #Perhaps we all need some good comics to read and we’ll gain more than comic relief. #vss365

Hullo #vss365 and to #perhaps An old one.

#vss365 Poet’s Choice write in ink or unwashed blood? write with passion or vending machine prose? write from the gut or for landfill laughs? write the truth or a typo'd truth? perhaps I should have stopped as the first word f e l l into a jar marked ‘DRAFTS” #perhaps

Dylan didn’t know what he should have expected. Certainly not a rag-tag, small but capable, fleet of warships to slide around the curve of the asteroid, sending him diving for his defensive systems. #Perhaps they were there coincidentally, but Dylan didn’t trust coincidence, as a rule. #vss365

Alittle wineper -Hic!-haps? Jusshtleaveyour coaton Thhhepeg bythe ¡¡Cheeersh!!. #vss365 #perhaps I've had too much...

404: Personality Not Found. Flash fiction for today's #vss365 prompt, #catastrophe. We're living in the future, and the future is dumb.

More: I would give it all For one more hour, a quick pint, The glint in his eye.

One catastrophe After another, I see, Has become the way. Two catastrophic Decisions: invite him in; Kiss the orange ring. Three cats trophy hunt People around town. And we Lionise their kills. #vss365 #catastrophe

#vss365 Will we end up like them? Will we need to #stock up on rations? Will we be bombed out of our homes? Will we be allowed to watch our children grow up? Will we brush the glass out of our niece's hair because her mother was buried last week? Free speech is in danger. Will we be next?

Hot-teared rage burst forth: An unwanted extrusion From my childhood's soul. #vss365 #extrusion

Ah, well. Looks like the USA is off the bucket list.
