Any random tips for someone planning their first trip? Full transparency: I asked ChatGPT to give me trip estimates and route ideas like 3 hours ago. 🫣

Nice!!

Breathe it in:
Unsettled
remainders

two timing
every thought —
disappeared

into lungs,
swallowed whole,
settling.

Hell yeah

Groundbreaking

She looks like a kitty cat in that second image.

Only fourteen years
until you can trust it when
he says he loves you.

She looks like Liza Minnelli in that last pic

I was sheepishly listening to a Reputation song yesterday and wondered how she could top it… ☀️

Cyanide lining
Copper wishes in the well
Treacherous fables
taste of delicious gossip.
Did everyone get their fill?

Cross-stitched skin in bloom
Violent violets masquerade
As decadent veins

What is this? What am I looking at?

My poems are very short, so I can’t speak to quality of text quite as much, but I use Canva for everything. Here is an example

.
Out of time
Severed scars
The crossroads

Dragged across
Broken skin
Nearly there

To the earth
Crashing down
Look away

Laundry basket king
Floating wicker chariot
Fluffy majesty
You deserve a new kingdom
Placed rightfully above us

Hypnotic.

Just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks now, huh?

.
Keeper of fury
Attending her madam’s tomb
Recalling the night
Mixing a bewitching brew
Accountability, stirred

O.verdone, brittle
L.augh lines hiss with resistance
D.ry pleas for delay

No coat
Honeysuckle
Two drops if I’m lucky
One delicate tug on the stem
Sweetness

Mighty little poem.

.

Dreams dance to the familiar backbeat
Of a tattered composition
Strumming itself out of tune
A faltering bass line
Follow the music —
To the bathroom
Late at night
Silent
now

Auto autopsy
Tattooed tarmac spitting fumes
Judgmental headlights —
tracing crimson veins, racing,
snaking, past sleeping guardrails

#tanka #poetry

.
Shedded skin
Poured across
New flooring

Deep claw marks
Underneath
Beige plaster

Broken fangs
Swept aside
Welcome home

He could never make
the waves break, no overflow —
Just let me do it.

The start of a war
With a sequel in the works
Global dominos

The Audacity to Remain

The audacity
to stand tall and remain soft
on a bed of nails

The audacity
to stand tall and remain soft
without gravity

The audacity
to stand tall and remain soft
while the world’s on fire

A stolen trophy
Victory lap off a cliff
Applause from above.

Lovely!
