Great choice ^^
Great choice ^^
Understated β
the sweaty #splendor
of hard earned respite
where despite
goals seeming distant
perspired
perservered

Had a lot of fun moments during another long session of @monikerpoems.bsky.social 's D&D campaign, playing as Niharika
Love the political intrigue going on, and the table is really fun to roleplay with. I absolutely gotta doodle the moment when Niharika scared a guy shitless during interrogation
Seasonality
delightful as pink blossoms
we're ephemeral

#Kiss it better? As if.
What a silly belief.
You may try a kiss so light
as to only delight,
however
something tells me,
Am I wrong?
kisses don't belong
among bitter pills of medicine.
Rather when I'm kissing
and being kissed in turn
I'm hissing for your lips burn.

Look up flying hills ^^
Ski flying is not even present at the Olympics and flying hills appear in a typical men's ski jumping season much more often than these normal hills. The competition at a normal hill is who lands their jump the prettiest and that's simply not what most jumpers focus on during the regular season.
At the pawn shop
browsing through the pans
young punk
rejects all sleazy puns.
Round skillets
he seamlessly disregards β
too full of themselves.
Feeling resigned,
goes back to square ones,
tho it irks to call them kettles.
These metals really testing his mettle,
but he knows he'll have to settle.
Mon amour, now #unmoored,
let go to see new sights.
We bid them leave, as not to live
so tethered to their mast.
But as we breathe, we won't forgive
if horrors come to pass.
We stay awake. For goodness sake,
return home safe to us!

I got to run a #DnD one-shot in a setting I've had in my head for 7 years. Feels euphoric to give life to this world, which I've carried so close for so long. And I feel like I've managed to adapt it to fit around the characters of my players, giving them some joy as well. Future one-shots ahoy!
Thank you ^^

I delect in the sin
having stolen
emergency supplies
dissolution on my tongue
the undoing of vows
I need to remember
lest I come to regret
this last hidden stash of
chocolate
That's fucked up
I would love to get up today,
get a job, earn some cash,
swim about, make a big splash,
but reality's harsh
and I'd rather lash out
on my socials @ clownfish
in #slapdash rants
bout the issues,
like the dying coral reefs,
which I wish
mattered more
to the big fish.
Man, I wish...

Thank you for reading DeRicki! β€οΈ
From RenΓ©e Nicole Macklin Good's #poem:
now i canβt believeβ
that the bible and qurβan and bhagavad gita are sliding long hairs behind my ear like mom
used to & exhaling from their mouths βmake room for wonderββ

I'd try to listen but it may end up like with the first prompted podcast where I listened for like 6 episodes and then fell behind and never caught up. Just the podcast format is not really for me.
At some silly symposium
some attempted synthesis
of poetry and science.
The agitated chatter
somehow all in #symphony,
talk about lack of money.
In the back of this choir,
that long forgot its chorus,
Somnus sleeps harmonious.

All the best to you as well on your Phillipines chapter! ^^
"What happens to a #dream deferred?," Langston Hughes once asked, looking perhaps like me into an empty flask.
I have simmered on his words, dynamite of want ready to blow.
Whatever happens happens.
It often seems explosions end up being just for show.

As a form of monikerpoems wrapped I can proudly say I wrote ~75 #blueskyrelay poems/stories this year, (and hosted 14 days,) which is not a lot, (I took long breaks and stuff,) but I'm still happy with the statistic. ^^ again, thanks for the prompt @poetguygabe.bsky.social! It's been lots of fun!
Two oh two six
already looking bleak.
I think I will take it
day by day, week by week.
That's so cute!
πππ Thank you so much! Just what I needed today! ^^
#Okapi
What a lovely animal to learn about, I can only hope I did a justice for this one. Thank you @monikerpoems.bsky.social for promoting my awareness about this cutie.

I'd love a poem about the okapi ^^

Upkeep
The world saw battles,
but at last, the dust settles.
The last stone is cast.
The victors get to pick up
what's left of the past
and forge their new paths.
So here I am β Atlas,
making sure nothing's lost.
Someone's got to
pay the vast cost.
I love to hear that. ^^ I've been going through a bit of an artistic drought. (on top of having a bad cold on Christmas)
I hang up the laundry
on the strings
to dry,
I #air out my laundry
for the neighbours
to see,
I hope some of the laundry
might just
disappear,
but I pick up the laundry
and it's all there
and clean.
I wish all this laundry
wasn't mine,
wasn't me.
