Prunus A fog of pink in stretching days along dark twigs and supple limbs that seek the warmth of first gilt rays — a foamy tide when late frost brims. #poem #poemaday #poetry #naturephotography #plum #cherryblossom #spring #bloomscrolling #photography

Crucible A #poetry thread i. I walk through woods. They're filled with graves that lean. My hood's pulled up. Sky's grey. Roof on arches, a lonely bench, a place that watches, dark, entrenched. 🧵👇🏼 #poem #poemaday #naturephotography #cemetery #moody #mentalhealth #longexposure #photography

Come November Blue window in a great orange wall. Behind orange bricks, cracked temple falls. Beyond the wall, a red dusk sky above orange sand. Blue tide rides high. #poem #poemaday #poetry #symmetry #photography

Lumen A #poetry thread i. In sable night that lacks the stars, a sealed off cave. A man, five scars. The tail of night, a crack is heard. Black stone is rolled, a flight of birds. 🧵👇🏼 #poem #poemaday #easter #happyeaster #sunflower #flower #bloomscrolling #photography
