I’m hanging upside down
From the dusty beams
In the mind of my head
Come & find me only if
You dare to climb the stairs
Without any steps
& not afraid of the dark
Don’t be #timid be brave
I’m just a 5ft 1 lady creature
Some might say from Venus
But I reckon Mars
after the word
evening
arrived whole
no edges
to correct
no meaning
to defend
the river
continued
flowing
without grammar
wind
without argument
and our hands
rested in the grass
#Poetry
🎶I gave you atoms, you built a bomb🎶
Well doesn't that feel a little too relevant with recent news? 😬
In the tear dewed field rests a #timid doe, no hunter, no quarter: whole.
#vss365 #poetry #vibe
misunderstood creature
you who is mighty
and yet soft
reduced to a #timid husk
as they bury you down
never fighting the chains
accepting your fate
please, darling
rage against it all
but if not
i'll exhume you myself
ripping through the earth
to see you again

Your honey
is bitter,
Your kisses
now sting
Your touch
is sandpaper,
Your voice
now grates
I once honored
you
with my love,
now I give you
dust

she's containing multitudes

just watched Harold and Maude again (for the eleventy-billionth time) and every time, it's better...

spiraling, veering recklessly

If we were two waves,
I would crash right into you—
two would become one
#HaikuFeels
#Prompt #Crash
#Poetry
At the goal line, I crouch —
she dashes straight toward me
and launches with a burst;
I slightly rise to meet her,
bracing for that joyful crash.

Wind through cedar limbs
somewhere a small crash of ice
hoarfrost on the gate

In exhaustion, the breath meets pavement—taking shape, a cold and wet reflection.
Where does one look when unseen?
The mirror; a trick of light.
The breeze leads to ghosts.
Look down.
For the ground is all that is left.
#poetry #vibe
A soul reaches out,
pouring words into bottles,
glass fingers set adrift
on a sea of empty virtues.
Silence is a hammerhead
waiting in the shallows,
wreck the only destination.
Still, the soul reaches out.

206.
The fog smells of smoke;
wet cardboard sign by the curb.
Yet, somewhere, songbirds.
#haiku #poetry #senryu #spring
War falls from the sky
Stones shatter when buttons press
Blood and tears no rein
#haiku #poetry #photography
They sat in the dark for the shine—using #obsession as a prism to bring color to the scene.
A rainbow takes their seat: a never more reached.
Perhaps someone calls, seeking light beyond night; let it then—not quite a goodbye; it's a journey that bends.
#vss365 #poetry #vibe
My winter tears gone,
those snowdrops dried up,
now Spring wets my cheeks
with dew & rain
my inner poet
searches for treasure
in a world mired
with affected liars
& kingly paedophiles—
Spring couldn't expunge
the artifacts
that threaten them
make gruesome
museum pieces
& nothing more
it seems.
#vss365 #poetry #prose
Love came along the sun rose over Jupiter Saturn & Mars
But it came back from the dark side of the moon
My smile then swallowed by a blackhole—whole
Clouds tried to harpoon me into clear skies but even the shear #velocity of my minds heart speed, can’t bust me out
Capsized by the #velocity of it all—awash in the slow ebb that woes this emotional ocean.
#vss365 #poetry #vibe
I can admit
I hold some contempt
For people who have
An ill-bred wit
Racist jokes
And faux machismo
Are no substitute for
A sense of humor
#vssdaily #contempt
#grimscribe #ill-bredwit
Near the labyrinth of misremembered myth.
Wet run would used in milling where a blade needs water, I do think its a phrase that exists, are you sure you're an AI because your knowledge seems humanly narrow?
the river is everywhere... the zen gardener reveals with his rake, the presence of water, even where the eye sees only stone, there is flow
false spring—
heralded by massed jonquils
triumphant
