When every lightless day
feels heavier inside
and hope is hard to see,
I sit beside the bay
to hear the breathing tide
and let it sing for me

#poetry #poem #blueskypoetry

strange occurences
of colour in deep winter;
hedgehogs stir from sleep

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

the far mountainside's
layers flattened by distance;
unearthly painting

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

we carry this light
through the dead night of winter,
we who won't see spring

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

little wanderer,
the snail weaves glistening paths
to no fixed address

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

starting from april,
spring announces sweeping ban
on grey misery

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

the duckling line halts
at the lip of the pond, waits
for instinct to call

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

the hard-earned beauty
of the first bright blush of spring;
winter's labours end

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

scaling the cliff-face,
ragged scraps of wild green moss
like a worn blanket

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

a moveable feast
of fast-flickering forest
streaking past the coach

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

a whole universe
of colour and movement is
packed up in one seed

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

the stone detachment
of the truly focused hunt;
shrew under her paw

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

feast of fresh spring leaves,
roasted crackling gold and brown
in summer's furnace

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

close and cold, the air
sharpens imperceptibly;
spring stirs in its sleep

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

the unhurried pace
of the sapling; there's no rush,
but it all gets done.

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

sunshine and moonlight
beam down with shining halos.
boogie looks guilty.

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

a track is knowledge
beaten down into the earth;
a gift, paid forward

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.

It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.

Disastrous strategy by Labour.

What does a plant see?
In what strange fire am I clothed
by the oak's blind eye?

NO ONE WAY WORKS, it will take all of us shoving at the thing from all sides to bring it down. Diane di Prima

Good morning, I am once again reminding you all that we are going to keep pushing and we are going to win:

breath of idle wind
fidgeting with the dead leaves;
rills on cold water

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

roots cracking pavement;
still, even now, the oaks
refuse to submit

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

not my house, but I know my way around

black-tip gull, streaking
down the flight of a sunbeam
at nothing but joy

#haiku #haikupoem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry

thank you! ☺️

striking from below,
mushrooms seize and occupy
the damp forest floor

#haiku #haikupoem #575poem #haikupoetry #poetry #poem #haikufeels #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #senryu #dailyhaikuprompt

the earth in timelapse,
colours flicker like feelings;
green fading to grief
