The Un-Masquerade By Taryn Smith Unpack all the masks Today our true spirits dance Together freely Erasing expectations Ourselves new and green again #vss365 #self #mentalhealth #tanka #dailyhaikuprompt #green #writingcommunity #queerpoet

A blue-purple camas flower with a green centre is open against a background of vibrant green leaves and grass and some light brown dirt. Some closed buds surround the opened flower.

Black text on light grey background reads “Dark Thoughts

By Taryn Smith

Uncomfortably numb
She sat alone in her room
Safe from the screaming
Terrified of her thoughts
She tried drowning them out
Momentarily distracted
She was in a nightclub dancing
Til’ the screams were directed at her:
“Turn that racket down”
Rocking herself in silence
Hoping for tears that never came
She saw the razor in her bathroom..
Just then a text from Sam:
“Miss you, wanna FaceTime?”
“Sam, I almost slashed my leg again!”
“Bestie! Your parents?”
“Dunno..I just wanted to feel something”

Question for my fellow poets who write on iPhones: I see a lot of poets uploading poems with a simple plain background. It looks nice and you can get more words in then you can on Bluesky. I come from Android world, so I’m wondering how best to do this on my iPhone. Any thoughts appreciated! ☺️

“They Thought We Were Lesbians” The vulnerability of skin Of going deeper than that To discuss attraction And gender In a parade Or a festival At the risk of backlash From both inside And outside the community When I flash my Pansexual bracelet Holding the hand Of my Asexual love #vss365 #pride

A light skin hand wearing a pink, yellow and blue beaded bracelet, with the letters “PAN” for Pansexual on three of the beads is holding hands with a darker skinned hand. The darker skinned hand has a black ring with red on the inside of the ring, worn on the middle finger. Black rings worn on the middle finger of the right hand as pictured, are a symbol of asexuality.

One paw on my lap A look deep into my eyes A silent deal made A piece of his heart on loan For salmon on his kibbles #haikufeels (lend) #haikudailyprompt (salmon) #tanka #poetry #writingcommunity #galgo #sighthound #doglovers

A hand in the bottom left corner of the photo holds a piece of frozen salmon sashimi. “Nori,” the galgo is sitting, facing the salmon, with his tongue slightly out and his floppy ears perked. He is a long, thin dog of blue-brindle colour with white toes and a thin black tail. He is wearing a forest-green and yellow-green striped pajama top and a black martingale collar with coloured arrows on it.

A blue-brindle galgo with big floppy ears and amber eyes is looking intently up. He has a piece of blue fluff on the right side of his long nose. He is sitting, with his long skinny black tail curved out on the floor to the left.

This one goes out to my dog, Nori, who gets visibly excited when it’s #gusty Prancing on his leash A dancing dog in flight, he Feels gusts in his blood #dailyhaikuprompt (gusty) #haiku #blueskypoets #poetry #galgo #dogs #sighthounds

“Nori,” the galgo is pictured against a brick wall. He appears alert and excited; with his floppy ears back and his amber eyes looking forward. Nori has a grey/blue face, a white streak on his neck and a brindle-coloured body. He is wearing a black two inch martingale collar with coloured arrows on it. The strap from his red harness is also visible in this picture.

If elected, Conservative leader P. Poilievre wants to defund the CBC. This would greatly impact Anglophones, Francophones, Indigenous Peoples, artists, creators, etc. & would make room for disinformation. @savethecbc.bsky.social

Saving the CBC is really about saving Canada

Pierre Poilievre reportedly has plans to slash the CBC's budget. That would be a disaster for national unity.
