#WildWalkPrompt #Crunch #Emoetry #Heavy
Heavy is gravity's cuddle;
crunching you against leaves underfoot,
gripping you against being blown away
whenever winds kick up.
#MadMarch #SMILE
N.B: @jenthorne.bsky.social is hosting in lieu of Dave. Follow her for more!
Her erstwhile smile beguiled:
My heart cross-filed her, and my my libido compiled
when she claimed I was worthwhile to defile,
not a turnstile to eventually revile--
alas, that smile was crocodile.

#Shell #WildWalkPrompt
Geometric scrawls
on sixty-thousand years old
ostrich shells show flair.
#Shell #WildWalkPrompt #sevenwordsentence #new
Accumulated ancient secretions solidify to make new shells.
#WIPSnips #pursue
#ArcheOfPain honey aches
Food labels pursue consumers
with seductive labelling: honey this
honey that, honey everything.
Ultraprocessed, promising beestung
flavors from nature which soothe
throats hoarse from crying & sickness,
fill the heart with being loved
all to make money.
Grief lacquers the world
And you, from more shellacking
Inside, heavy fog.
#haikufeels #handle
Holding knife handle
I feel the balance, the heft-
The crisp cuts to come.
#MMprompt
Sleepdrunk fungus starts
at the foot of my bed
and slowly crawls up
as my bedclothes slide down
and seizes my brain
and any willpower to rise
in the morning and stay up
as long as the infection holds
...And now I want a nap. My caffeine dose didn't hold.
My condolences on your loss. From personal experience: some days you'll have gas, other days not at all. 'S okay whatever you feel like doing, and take care.
"There is a virtually generated foot fetish model and military advisor to the pres-" you bolt awake in the Italian Alps. You are Hannibal. The future must not come to pass. Rome must be destroyed.
#Budding #WildWalkPrompt
So hard to eat cheese
without a cat's head budding
nearby, unasked.
#SenseWrds Prompt 192
The performer gestures
with vigor that tilts upwards,
dancing emphasis across signs,
sorting the spotlight's beam
into two: performance
and darky mocking background.
#WeirdMicro
Institutional narrative;
Internalized limitations.
Just four words captures
life with disabilities well.
Maybe it's only me who often has a cynical voice smacking the bezeeus out of my flabbergasted self. Could be. Dunno.
#emoetry prompt for 3/5 is #flabbergasted
To be flabbergasted or not; 'tis a false dilemma.
One can be both stupefied beyond reason
yet feeling weirdly unsurprised: a hollow
"aha that's how it is. Always was."
Let the feeling soak. Let the reason grind.
Your nightmares were rehearsal all along.
😆 And in base octopod, it's tentacle day, too.

It remains strange how
#we_are_idle_after_all
the labors we did.
Good rest was truly needed,
Yet bodies plunged, defiant.

From #raindrop_blues
which begs no fire and death rained,
the road to #rainbow_dreams
may seem extremely far;
yet it may be minutes, hours, days,
weeks, months, or never.
We dream of rainbows,
because we don't know
it won't come after all.
#MPPrompt
Et in Verse, Ego
Poets restrain something. This is mine.
Wild horses run silently through me,
limnal, unconfessed, neighing.
I play at technique, fingering
a piano with all strings cut,
ghostly notes purring in vibration.
Do not ask me to explain more.
A mind perplexes by its galaxies.
Gosh. I am trying to figure out what is outside my comfort zone after all.
#MadMarch #LIBERTY
Freedom ad te, deum! Like a tapetum lucidum,
it glows in eyes of voters using franchise
to vote for liberty, not lies and oppression.
Question and concession en masse
irks the interpellate zealot, who would rather tell it:
no debate nor wait: just his dictate.
#Blossom #WildWalkPrompt #Emoetry #empty
HOLI 3/4/26
Hands empty themselves
of powder; color blossoms
on clothes and faces
Ummm... humbly, Pi Day is 3/14 in the USA.
Today is actually Holi, the Indian spring festival of powdered colors thrown on people, dancing and music.
#Emoetry #Deceived #haibun
As Shakespeare said best: "Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so, but let them go..."
By passion's ardence
Be not deceived, lass, but wait
for character's truth.
That's you in the UK (I had to look up TV-AM.) I think I only saw part of one episode as a clip once.
And Monty Python never left the British Isles, not even for German TV?
Inconceivable! I've never used that word causally ever since Vizzini overused it in "The Princess Bride."
As solid GenX, I'm too young to have grown up with Flipper. I just know the reference.
Wasn't intended to be bought, min tvivlare, for the love that wears feathers can never be bought.
(How could you accuse somebody fluent in Jaws and Flipper of being a British subject, anyhow?)
@sensewords.bsky.social #SenseWrds 191
Afloat, wielding poles
along a calm river,
mirrored, with ripples,
looking deep within.
Dragonflies chase prey.
A trout leaps.
Summer's green behind,
Autumn's glory unarrived.
A Swedish Chef's #BIRTHDAY
Bork! Bork! Nu vurk-- burk!
helhjärtat Birdday med min hjärtat,
Min raring kyckling! Heppy Peppy!
Ouor lufe-a shell have no avgränsning!
Bork! Bork! Bork!
Heppy Burthday med min bird,
min raring kyckling!
(Heppy Burthday med din bird, Dave!)
