you once quite brazenly told me you was my muse that's probably why I had writers block the entire year #poetry #poem #poems #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

a toxic man shouting that he's a feminist is the equivalent of a man critiquing a man for not washing his hands after a piss but not washing himself #poetry #poem #poetrycommunity

i can't quit you like cigarettes or the booze or self-pity i won't stop we are an obsession there is something worse than unrequited love it's mutual love with the one who destroys you i was someone else before i met you before i gave up on everybody else even myself #vss365 #prompt #quit #poem

the bitter cold on these english shores have set into my bones. seagulls do not seem fazed. I attempt to #guess their age but salt spray blinds the sharpest eyes. I turn my head away, dry my clothes on crackling fires bright young flames bending, twsiting and I envy them #vss365 #poetry #poem

I love love love this poem

Hello haiku enthousiast, To make life easier on you, I've created a Starterpack with haiku poets and editors/curators of haiku journals. The list is bar from complete, but I'll keep adding accounts as I go along. #haiku #senryu #tanka #haiga #poetry go.bsky.app/Txaua4N

up early for another shoot I barely remember me making love to the woman I love last night the train runs through the fields that surrounds my home I finish my second beer at 9am and watch birds in the sky I wonder if they know how lucky I am we're both so free #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem

we laugh when we drink we lay when we're drunk we fuck til we're sober and we listen to the sounds of the street below bellowing clouds of smoke through thin curtains #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #poems #writingcommunity

I need to go to the dentist but I'm putting it off I'm not scared I like the dentist used to want to be one when I was little I just don't want to fill in the form I have no idea how many units I drink a week #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #poem #writingcommunity

they lowered him down six feet into the ground if he stood in there rather than laying in a box he'd be able to just peek over the top and see his mother and father his brother his friends people that barely knew him and me right at the back looking over the Medway river #poetry #poetrycommunity

I only shave when something substantial happens in my life. tomorrow is the funeral of a friend who killed himself. I'm not shaving tomorrow. maybe I'll do it the next funeral two weeks from now. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #poems #writingcommunity

Yes, I'm dunk again And yes, I am sorry, but #devotion shows love #vss365 #poetrycommunity #poem #poems #writingcommunity #poetry

Now this is my kind of poetry

The sun is gone The night is young Where will you go In the nights air A chilling breeze Crisp leaves Left to look Searching for you #poem #poetry

bow down to your gods of guns and gold beautiful lines

my grandmother lays there colourless her hair faint #mycelium skin stretched over untarnished wicker bones how did this body once hold me? hold my father? when now it can barely hold itself together #vss365 #poetry #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #poem #poems

I don't often name my poems on here but this one is named the last line of the poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #poems #writingcommunity

Powerful

how does the white male patriarchy take souvenirs on their phones behind garbage cans torn thongs that say she wanted it two frat brothers holding her down in case the roofie or the hunch punch doesn't work one rips off her heirloom neckace thinking it'll make a nice christmas gift for mom~ #vss365

some of the #citizens of my city have lost their minds. they search for them in the river in the gutter in dropped empty cans. don't let them get too close. they'll steal your house your heart your life. skirt around them better friends can be found. #vss365 #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #poems

I am a #citizen of the library, living between War and Peace and Prinde and Prejudice. At the weekends, I go hiking in the tsundoku mountains. In sleepless nights I search the shelves for the book with my name on it. #vss365

There are no stars anymore. The #tardigrades got rid of them when they took over. They didn't like trees either. The moon? Gone. They kept mist though. They like to float around, looking cute. Waiting for something bigger and less intelligent to come their way. #vss365 #FromOneLine

he sleeps sitting up head back jaw hung his teeth all #skerry deep in his gullet a low wind rumbling he made it through 2 bottles of wine before slumber and when he awakes he'll fill his greedy rot and tell people he was watching that show, turn it back on. I was resting my eyes #vss365 #poetry

"Knock once for 'No' and twice for 'Yes.' Do you understand?" Knock. #vss365 #yes

I've found an unused hollow organ close to my kidneys, and by storing my pee there, I've freed up space in my balls that can now be used for storing drugs and/or my ego

girl of lunacy, of moons veiling starless skies and dark hearts beating together

I’ve never been that nostalgic. I don’t carry a lot with me, have always traveled light. I was never one to really save many things. Oh now, though, how I wish I had kept every souvenir from ever trip we ever took. I wish I had kept it all. Cos now you’re forever gone. I miss you so much! #vss365

when I was poor I would drink awful cheap cider in the parks when I was employed I drank what I wanted for my money never ran dry when I was rich (a brief stint in scriptwriting during lockdown) I drank the finest whiskey now I drink polish lager and I tell myself it's character building ironic

the music runs through me the lights bounce off me the people the others I pass through like cigarette smoke I find my people I grab their heads and rest mine on theirs the night is now morning I realise the ketamine I have been snorting in the loos was not ketamine #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem

I need to go to the dentist but I'm putting it off I'm not scared I like the dentist used to want to be one when I was little I just don't want to fill in the form I have no idea how many units I drink a week #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #poem #writingcommunity

I haven’t played chess since I last played with you, I like to think there’s a poetic reason why but I think it’s more likely because I left you my board and pieces. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #poems #writingcommunity

I collect broken hearts like #souvenirs, I place them in jars and tap on the glass. after dinner why don't you come back to mine? we can share a bottle of wine and look at them #vss365 #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #poems #writingcommunity

I do not like rhyming poetry you are starving yourself of the right words hoping for a pleasant ending do not bother o brothers only if it comes as natural as your tongue in your mouth the teeth between your lips let the words speak for themselves #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #poems

jump in front of a #train wrap a bag around your head take one too many pills have sudden drop and short stop do what you need to do just don't smile and say all's well when I ask you if you need to talk talk to me talk to fucking anyone I'm fed up of everyone dying #vss365 #poetry

Beautiful #poetry

𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 She asked if I knew pain. As if I never tried to write about her. #poetry

bite down hard swallow I'm sorry it's all fuel use it let it keep you going I promise you it helps it tastes like shit yes and I'm sorry but chew swallow and keep going not long soon you'll have steak and french cheese and fresh fruit you'll eat like a sultan but for now just swallow #poetry #poem

I may #complain but the beers are cheap the music is solid and the staff know me I just wish the crowds would leave the pissheads don't fight and toliet seats have a little less piss on them #vss365 #poetry #poetrycommunity

She would #complain On the way to church About the shoes The minister wore Under his robes Green hi-tops Had no place On the lectern Until the day He asked If she'd ever seen What else he wore Under there #vss365

I left skid marks down the pan of my girlfriend's loo we were away for the week her housemates complained that it took them days to get them off well that's tough shit #poetry #poem #poems #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

Beauty fades. Your cheeks aren't so plump. Lines form in your face like dry river beds and then the fishermen stop flanking your shores.

perhaps another drink. she'll come to me eventually sometimes she's here for days and I tippy tap tap my keyboard til my fingers become bruised but she's been gone for a week now. please don't #delay come soon, my love perhaps another drink while I wait. #vss365 #poetry #poem #poetrycommunity
