#TopTweetTuesday #poetrycommunity This week’s challenge on @TopTweetTuesday is Imagist, free verse poem on : Love, hate, apathy, ennui. I am using a free tool I built for journaling ~ if you like to give it a go: storiesandstanza.com/tools/journa...

#journaling #SelfCareMatters I have built a simple journaling tool on my website - for anyone who might want to use it. It has a few prompts - but I will enrich the prompt library slowly. The idea is write what you want - and by default it will be discarded.

I wanted to share a little heart-to-heart for anyone who writes. ‘Stories and Stanza’ began from my love of words and the quiet joy of connecting with kindred spirits. I recently spoke with Jo Worsfold a writer, healer and channel from Tasmania. #writing #writingcommunity #podcast

Woke up to this message today ~ 🎬✨ I can't almost believe it happened – but thank you all who have supported me on this journey. Here's to more conversations that matter, more stories that heal, and more connections that remind us we're not alone in this journey. With gratitude, Abhra 🌟

It is interesting how different short poems, when stitched together, become joined by an invisible thread of interconnectedness. This reflects the times we're living through - as poets we often seek refuge to escape the harsh realities as our ability to see things becomes both our gift and burden.

Hazy Shades of Umber Dawn

Poems on love, trauma, and the search for peace

Abhra Pal @storiesandstanza.substack.com · 10/03/2026

#vss365 Espy the #harmony of falling stars— vignette of sultry syllables sway, fate bleeding into hazy shade of love. Thick smoke, birthing a poisonous acid rain, fear of night lingers; pent-up grit and surrender whisper their umber dawn.

Crystalline verses pen the magic of life, defined melancholy yields #bountiful harvest of solace. From cosmic highways your light may wane yet love cascades, and covenant whispers— “The stars are lovely, and so are you.”

#vss365 Night speaketh rainbow dreams stars tottered, because you were wine, and I was watered down— Proximity burn of cold moon and cataract craters beauty numbed is serenity gifted.

Life's splendor meets past's shadow halfway at an inflection point— survival instincts galore, I groan. Believe I might fuck around and forgive myself— but ancestral trauma is my site fidelity, and my hastened rush for freedom is just a cry for help. ✍🏼 #blueskypoetry

Deep within that sunless cave, the world was only half sketched. A murky green light shone from the rocks casting ominous shadows, and the persistent drip-drip was like an ancient water clock. The #cataracts of time slowing, as history played out on this penumbral stage. #vss365

In his #quest to find answers about the fate of Delphi, Dylan stormed through Fleet Headquarters and didn’t give a damn whether he was supposed to be there or not. Someone had to know how The Enemy got through the lines and, if they didn’t, they’d better damned well find out, and soon. #vss365

The smell of wild garlic was all around when he took my hand in the quiet wood the trees held a hopeful breath & shed a flurry of leaves all about us as he kissed me, they exhaled a gentle breeze that shook the world they wanted to believe in fairytales just as much as we did. #faesense

She felt the spell settle over her like a crown, as if she were the chosen successor to every love story the stars had ever whispered into being. And when she lifted her gaze, he was already watching her with a kind of wonder, as if he too, recognized the love neither of them could deny. #vssmagic

He brushed a stray curl from her cheek with a touch so careful it felt like a confession, the word beloved lingering unspoken between their hearts. She saw the quiet certainty in his eyes that said he had been holding that word, that truth, for far longer than they had dared to admit. #vssfantasy
