The cement that bonds us together with the words that sooth our souls holding tight in rainfall and the thunder through all our different moods the hand that helps when we are feeling down that joke we share together fraternity can't be broken #cement #vssdaily

Delicate as eggshell edges, or walking on a bridge made of feathers as strong as an origami castle warding off an army of thousands, as soft as the sound of a water drop in a large, open arena, or an ant dancing on a leaf. @sonnetsmith.bsky.social #Egg #SomethingEveryday

#vss365 #vsshorror The old porch floorboards #quake with sudden cold whenever the dead are restless. Legend says a groom poisoned his bride, only for her ghost to drag his guilty soul into the dark. Now, locals pass quickly, spooked by the weeping inside.

Good morning! My poem for #PoemsAbout #Bites is a revision of a poem I wrote for Paul Brookes @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social ekphrastic challenge with art by @karenpgonzalez.bsky.social Thank you as always to @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk I'll be back later!
Poem:
Choices: Divergence, Convergence

In the woods, you choose a road,
this one, or the other, 

perhaps they are the same—or not—

perhaps you meet a snake with jeweled
lapis scales, 

perhaps he offers
you this or that, 
his tongue flicking words
you catch poison-sweet
on your tongue--

perhaps instead 
you see a wave of wildflowers, 
nodding their heads,
scenting the path

just before the strike, the bite.

Art work by Karen Pierce Gonzalez, a snake in spring green, aqua, yellow, and orange, studded with round blue jewels or buttons. Black background.

From my out of print collection "Port of Souls" for #PoemsAbout #Bites and @thebrokenspine.co.uk
Hand Biters
 
Always snap at the hand that feeds,
cossets, cuddles and hugs,
 
fists, hits and kicks. Oppose,
depose, make of it yourself.
 
Pull on the leash, snap the manacle,
challenge this ships captain,
 
sit on your plastic chair. Tell
your voices you'll decide yourself.
 
If she does not wake you know your job.
Before she closed her eyes she rehearsed
 
tasks that you must be complete. How
to empty her home, sell it, pass 
 
your childhood on to others. Be firm
In what must be done. Make yourself.

Nothing bites more than the pain of rejection that feeling of being bitterly ignored A voice to be heard but heads turn away people rush past ignoring the calls that are louder than bombs while the storm clouds hang low above our heads #PoemsAbout #Bites #Poetry #Writing
