I found a journal, deep cleaning. It's cover is ripped. All pages are full. I should throw it away because it's clutter. But across its pages, I can see where I was, what my priorities were, and what they are now. I’ll keep it for now. Because it’s not junk. It’s history. #Poetry #PoetrySky

A cold morning. Time to bring out my favorite cloak. What’s in my pockets? Left pocket: wrappers, tissues, and junk mail. Right pocket: rocks, acorns, a random smiley-face eraser, and my missing lip balm. Time to refresh them to fill up next season. #Poetry #PoetrySky #PaintByWords

Dear Grim Reaper, So many deaths in such a short while, and not enough time to grieve. Why take them? Why were they next? Out of all the evil people you could've chosen, out of all the ones covering the world in darkness, why do you rob from the light? 🦋🦋🦋 #Poetry #PoetrySky

Nietzsche says “If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.” In the ocean, it stays dark until we cut on the lights. Are the creatures we see truly monsters or do we fear our idea of them? It may be better to turn off the lamp and let the void be the void. #PaintByWords #Poetry

I saved an inchworm today. It was dangling right in front of me so I scooped him up. I feel like we're all inchworms at some point in our lives. And all we need is a hand to reach out and help. #Poetry #PoetrySky

A close-up photo of my hand outdoors with a tiny bright green inchworm resting on my knuckles. Behind my hand is are green fields, trees, and forested mountains in the distance. I found the inchworm dangling from a strand of silk while walking home from dropping my kiddo off at the bus stop, scooped him up for a couple of pictures, and then placed him safely in the grass near my house. The original photograph was taken by me. An AI illustrative filter was added afterward.

Seeing friends after nine years. Our kids became fast friends. The family dog remembered me immediately. Nothing changed after all this time. Everyone just got older. #Poetry #PoetrySky

Warm, storybook-style illustration of a nighttime backyard reunion beneath glowing string lights. Two couples laugh together in the background while three children, two girls and a boy, gather around an elderly brown pit bull. The dog has a heavily graying white face and chest and wears a huge, happy pittie smile as the children pet her. A fire glows nearby, giving the scene a cozy, nostalgic feeling of old friends reconnecting after many years.

Peonies to break the hex. Eggs for protection. Basil to calm your fears. Coffee for grounding. A witch's arsenal grows. #Poetry #PoetrySky #PaintByWords

A leather journal stitched like flesh, with an eye fixed in the center. What's inside it? What secrets lie deep among the grimoire's pages? My grocery list. #Poetry #PoetrySky

I write in bursts, or nothing at all. I stare at lines I struggle with for months. I cry until I figure it out, or nothing at all. I take a break and make new projects. I hyperfocus giving it everything, or nothing at all. My brain is always writing, I'm just not always typing. #Poetry #PoetrySky

Brush your teeth in the shower. Society makes you think life has to be done a certain way. It doesn't. So brush your teeth in the shower. Wash dishes sitting down at the sink. Put clean clothes in baskets instead of drawers. There are no real rules so why not make up your own? #Poetry #PoetrySky

Stare into the void. How dare you look away! If you're not looking, how can you be prepared when it's evil comes? I have to. I have to step away. If I stay numb, If I stay in it's heaviness, I won't be me. I look into the void so I'm aware it exists. I cannot stay there. #Poetry #PoetrySky

He knows your favorite color. He remembers the small things. He gets an hour hr lunch but he makes the 20 minute drive home to eat with you, even though he only has 15 minutes until he has to go back. He'll probably be late. If he wanted to, he would. If he loves you, He will. #Poetry #PoetrySky
