quality of perception;
my world tinged with pain.

#emoetry prompt for 3/5 is #flabbergasted

#writingcommunity #poetry

Funny how
When you’re
Missing a piece
Of your heart

Its #empty hole
Weighs so heavy

Feeling it on every sigh

You don’t feel the rest of the heart
At all

#emoetry

#Cassiopeian weekly prompt: Feb 18 - 24 #Effects White text outlined in green set across a deep green background. Accented with stamped four leaf clovers across an image of a clover patch

Yay it's Wednesday! The theme for this week is .. #clovers! 🍀

#Cassiopeian is a #weekly #prompt for #poetry #photography #collage #art and #resistance

Feel free to tag me so I don't miss your piece due to occasionally glitchy tags.

Is this a new mole
Here on my shoulder
It seems discolored
Please look closer
I’m worried it’s growing
Could it be cancer
Or worse, am I budding,
Becoming a producer
Of too many offspring
Please tell me doctor
Or just remove it

gray morning clouds, with wisps of pink

Winter, With Heart

another, gray morning

snug, in its cocoon
a coffee mug
warm, cupped between my hands

it's not a face,
not today.

and yet,
always,

the loudest thing
is the heart

it never
whispers
by accident.

Lethargy beast,
Plays with his little treat
After the mother feast
Power playing with cruelty
Empires the Wilderness
A home from home
#vss365 #lethargy

The forest she loves me
A gift of the swarm
As night falls they huddle
And cuddle for warmth
In morning the struggles
The itching and sores
The next day the budding
Through skin as it’s torn
They take flight as they leave me
To find a new host

When it feels
as if dark swathes
separate us

especially then

I hear our song
swaying on the wind,
as if to say—

there is nothing
that can truly
keep us apart

since a thread
of light & hope
connects our hearts—

singing always

even
in the dark.

Some things survive too much to hold your affection Big trees are big for a reason. Made it through the worst. You can’t wrap your arms around a big tree, but you can embrace it — big trees engulf you, could fit you inside if they really wanted to. Trees are so good at waiting. I just want life to be easy. Don’t care if I grow big anymore. Like an island oak, I’d take a few stunted seasons. A small shade, something easy for someone else.

Sometimes you have to say things to not feel empty.

Remembered
A song I forgot I used to love
But it didn’t flow
The way I needed it to go

So I wrote my own
Swept me away
Over tsunamis and krakens

Just the way I needed to go
Shipwrecked and on my own
Far away, away from you

#archeprompt #poetry #poem

Is it Heaven or is it Hell
It’s strange we can’t tell
Look here’s a note

Come on then
What’s been wrote

It’s from Heavens and Hell
They’ve decided
To share the waiting room
And it’s about how good
A story you can tell

Warning…lethargy will get you burnt

Poems for Lent (Day 13)

• Seamus Heaney •

Doors closed tight as
Light shows through
Cracks, slats, blinds
Peaking through reminds
Me, fear now #lethargy
The outside world
There for me if I take it
Tomorrow if I make it but
The dishes pile and
The dust stacks, bones
Ache and rust tacks on
A smile, here is safe so
I’ll stay for awhile

yes, I can start a fire I paid attention even though it's a "boy" thing you laugh and tell me to get the marshmallows while brother gathers twigs to stab them with I'll do the "girl" thing bringing food to the men ensuring their survival practicing to be a good wifey I'll be a good girl but I can start a fire and I'll burn this motherfucker down

I kind of went off the rails at the end, but whatever. It works.

palled in #lethargy
weighing me down
languished
praying for sleep
or perhaps the grave

and yet the sun's sweet caress
soon pulls me back

in my dreams you say
everything will be okay
in my dreams you taste of
sun baked wild grass
in my dream there is always
a hint of wine left in your mouth
in my dream there are no empty wells,
the sky is wider than
a distant circle of blue

in my dreams the old weathered lid is never slid closed

Hello Wild Walk #writers
(My prompts will now include a haiku.)

Winter's frigid throne,
Frosty stranglehold broken.
Thawed by budding spring.

Such a graceful beast
To look lethargic,
Locked up inside
Such a tiny cage

What if I set him free ?
What if he bites me ?
What if he decides to come with me ?
What if he speaks to me ?

Where to keep him ?
Where and what
Do I feed him ?

I don't care
I'm going to
Free him

; sleazy orange president

lies effortlessly; exudes

deceit; hate oozes from his

pores - a contagious disease;

he puts the 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 in w𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦l

and gr𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦...and - once poetic

justice intervenes - dec𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦d.

It’s all a twisted and bitter circus
run by evil ugly clowns
beyond a mockery
the laughter dies in our throats
as we are the butt of a cosmic joke that leaves us shattered in disbelief
reeling in despair
grasping for any trace of normalcy in a landscape of endless disinformation
#poetry #booksky

A trail of bitter
tears
all over this country
as our democratic
dreams
disintegrate
right before our eyes.

Inequity is at an all-time high
as you cut tax breaks
for your wealthy friends.

You gin up hatred and ignorance
and then deny the consequences.

#booksky #books #poetry #TheTrumpYears

A conspiracy of silence
covers everything
It’s deafening

You’re killing for the man
We weren’t born to run
we were born to die
if we decide to speak out
and step out of your killing line
