Poet. Dramatic but lazy. Wistfully nonchalant. Passionately disinterested in oxymorons.

Years ago, before he left this world, my uncle carved a lamp for me out of wood & beside my bed it's stood all these years— breaking the darkness for me. But today— it went out suddenly. I can't but wonder for what darkness he's preparing me. #mpprompt

@daveashleypoet.bsky.social I am playing the enjambent card on this one! #AcrosticOctober #Colder #Poetry
COLDER

Come closer now, as you did in the
Old days when warmth flowed. When
Love held the cold at bay, stopped the
Dark shaping me with its shadows. Now
Everything drifts into new forms, still I
Remember who you were.

Claims once made lie broken as bridges
Over rivers sealed by the ice of many winters.
Light thins early; its meagre heat
Drawing farther out each day.
Every silence settles like fresh frost.
Remember the sun, it will return to another sky.

#Promptcombo #doors @jenthorne.bsky.social I turned to flee The cottage The witch And her visions But as I reached The door It vanished The whole cottage Gone Had I been imagining The whole time Was it an illusion Or just more of the fumes Confusing my mind I sat on the cold earth It was very real

Self-doubt's impossible questions pull the petals from me one by one— till I'm reduced almost to nothing. But then your gentle fingers whisper answers over my skin & beneath your touch, certain as the rising sun, I bloom again. #sensewrds 279

I cannot smell autumn anymore. I must extrapolate it from the quality of the light, the coldness of the air. Because the smell of autumn is a turf fire burning, it is the aroma of cloves & apples cooking in my granny's kitchen— it is the scent of a past to which I can never return. #mpprompt

Thank you 😊❤️ I love Sara Teasdale!! One of my favourites. And others have said the same in the past. I don't deliberately write like her (except for 3 or four poems at one point a few months ago) but I guess we have a similar way of thinking/expressing ourselves ❤️

What my nights are like #insomnia #poetry #weirdpoetry #queerpoetry
Handwritten poem titled "INSOMNIA" in dark teal ink on plain paper.  
The text reads:
INSOMNIA  
Each night I stare at the darkness
the scene of shadows above
Sleep is elusive
like a spirit that toys with me
When morning comes
my body is rested
but my mind is exhausted
my soul weary  
If only sleep could take me  
 at least for one night

Moonlight falling on breath, breath falling on skin… In the #delta between lust and love his hands set tiny fires along her hips as he tastes the wildsweet of her mouth. His eyes memorize the curve of her thighs, the quiver beneath her navel, choosing which to take first. #vss365 📷 Pixabay

Thank you to @emteepoetry.bsky.social for hosting a terrific #PromptCombo last week. This week it's me and I want your poems on. #Doors Doors of perception, toilet door grafitti, ornate entrances to castles - doors are infinitely interesting. Show us what you've got.
Doors

Behind every door
the unknown holds its breath.
The handle waits in silence,
the key stiff against cold fingers.
Always push inwards.

When those doors open,
it is not the room that changes,
but the part of you
that crosses the threshold 
and never finds its way back.
Ornate carved door into York Minster in York

It was not my intent to resurrect the past again. It has its own key you see it let's itself in & sits down with me for tea— like an uninvited guest I'm too polite to turn away. It tells me sad stories I've heard many times before & like a fool, I nod as I pour & pour. #MPPrompt

I often drift to sleep to the calming sound of ocean waves but at some point during the night a storm rolls in, made of yesterday's mistakes & tomorrow's pains then I spend the hours adrift on a stormy sea, til morning's thunderclap brings the present back to wake me. #mpprompt

Four responses in time of attack - which is yours? #MPPrompt #mummification #poetry #writing
fight flight freeze fawn

she stood nailed to the floor
unable to move or speak 
completely against her will
trying not to absorb
the vitriol flying at her
those words, those hateful things
cut deep down to the bone
and circulated through her like blood
no one defended her,
they all stood and watched
as if it was a television show
so she remained stuck to the floor
bandaged her own wounds
and she's still there today
mummified

#MPPrompt mummification

I've earned plenty of letters in my time but those pieces of paper will be nothing but kindling for my pyre. What I want buried with me are the kindnesses I did & memories made with people dear to me. Give my achievements to the fire but any good I did for others, let that rest with me forever.
