That's super-kind of you Samantha, thank you! 😀❤️

I was super-honored by the generous #lifttothesky from talented poet & friend, @lawrencemoore.bsky.social ! He knows I'm trying to build my BSKY accounts as I leave IG, so I also appreciate this timing! (if we followed each other on Twitter or IG, I'd love to re-connect here) Thanks again, Lawrence!

You're most welcome!

Thanks for this 👏

When Sara Hughes falls in love with a man she’s never met other than through online dating, her parents try to stop her.

They object to her flying away from the safety of her family home in Florida to join him in Ukraine.

Inventive, I like it 👏

You've very welcome!

Still to Learn There is a route I have travelled a little too clumsy believing the key to entry was pushing hard, now knowing that while remorsefulness took its turn, with thirty cycles completed I've still to learn how to live one life, lend welcome to shine that comes, no longer willing to lunge for stars as yet unexplored alone.

Here’s ‘Still to Learn’ from my new poetry collection ‘This Joyful Interlude’, out now ✨

#poetry

My heart stays
bewitched
by the way
you move
through
the world,
even as you
walk past me
without a flicker
of recognition.
You never asked
for my devotion,
yet I keep offering
a path to a door
you never open.
I stand here
loving you in the
shadows where you
can't see me.

#vss365 #bewitched

feeding the darkness
some subtle and sugared rhymes
biding my sweet time
until dreams will pull me back
under covers paradise

This #EarthDay2025 seems a good moment to share some Gerard Manley Hopkins:
“What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet”
