Well crap, I just discovered I'm allergic to pineapple. It's the bromelain. Now I have to choose a new favorite fruit. Ugh.

😁 Happy Sunday to all 😁 This weeks #PoetsOfDoom is going arsey - #ArsPoetica that is! Pick your favourite poetic form and write a poem about it, in said form. Clear as mud, right? Don't worry, there's a link below and a couple of examples to help clarify! www.writersdigest.com/write-better...

On Acrostics

A line must rise from the chosen word’s letter,
Craft out its bones like a patient typesetter.
Rules of rhythm and clarity guide your pen,
Organise thoughts so they brighten again.
Showcase your thoughts, create and express,
Take each line as your chance to impress.
Inspiration flows when structure meets art,
Clever acrostics reveal both form and heart.

Do Not Go Gently into a Villanelle

Do not go gently into a villanelle,
Its chains of rhyme bind tight the poet’s hand,
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.

As lines repeat, their echoes cast a spell,
A stubborn form that bows to no command.
Do not go gently into a villanelle.

Resist the lure of freedom’s restless swell;
Each stanza’s shape must first be wisely planned,
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.

The poet curses rules they know too well,
Twisting lines to meet a strict demand.
Do not go gently into a villanelle.

But when the pattern sings, a truth will swell,
A beauty forged from order, fierce and grand;
Yet in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.

Embrace the verse and let its cadence tell;
Yield to its grip and you will understand:
Do not go gently into a villanelle,
For in its bondage, hidden wonders dwell.

I'm finally building my website with @madp03t.bsky.social's help because he's amazing 💜. Right now I'm going through my poems and separating out which ones I might want to put on it. Indecisiveness is a superpower! lol And if you have a favorite, please let me know.

I've been ruminating on old memories lately and I don't like it. #wss366 #rum #emoetry #wounded #weirdmicro #deception #poetry

we all dance around each other
hiding feelings out of fear
not saying what we mean
then wonder why no one's near

poured rum down my throat
every night for twenty years
trying to stop wounds and feelings
it never stopped the tears

why try deceiving myself
when honesty is best,
to relive mistakes and
dredge up regrets?

it brings up old memories
lost loves and friends
I don't want this anymore
wish this pain would end

There were two shootings today within a block of my house, lots of sirens. Twice. My goal next year is to get out of this city.

Hi all, For this week's #PoetsOfDoom I'll keep it simple since I'm still exhausted. Your prompt this week is #Crowds, as in the power of a crowd to do something good, or collective faith in doing good, just like the images below. As for the form, write a dansa or two. Have fun! I'll sleep now.

A livestream image taken from the Fluvial Procession of the Feast Of Peñafrancia.

The image shows a massive crowd trying to pull the andas (the silver dome carrying a statue of Peñafrancia, the sacred image of the Blessed Virgin Mary) through this sea of people.

A view of the Bicol River alongside the Riverside areas of Naga, with crowds waiting for the arrival of the pagoda with Our Lady of Peñafrancia on it.
