Will be back in a few days to begin posting daily poetry and writing again.

Start of the year has been hectic!

King of the pirates
He assembled the best crew
They became our friends

Dusk descends on distant day, While whispers chase a fading light, In the waning warmth we hide our pain, And birth the silence of the night. Whispers end and stillness reign, Sleepless nightmares in the dark, Monuments to those once cherished, Drifting on a distant ark. ~ Marin L. Ash

Dusk descends on distant day,
While whispers chase a fading light,
In the waning warmth we hide our pain,
And birth the silence of the night.

Whispers end and stillness reign,
Sleepless nightmares in the dark,
Monuments to those once cherished,
Drifting on a distant ark.

~ Marin L. Ash

Silly summer smiles
Give way to hard winter stares
But we can be warm

#poetry #haiku

"let it glow" in lights above the snow.

Twinkling lights in snow
The holiday approaches
Where did the year go

#poetry #haiku

People are monsters
Safety becomes fantasy
We learn this so young

#haiku #poetry

You told me to go
I built a life without you
You demanded I come

"let it glow" in lights above the snow.

Twinkling lights in snow
The holiday approaches
Where did the year go

I think in 2026 I'm going to participate in #vss365 for the first time.

Any suggestions? Which accounts here post prompts?

A fully closed book
May never be read again
But the words remain

#haiku #poetry

Vindictive vespers
Vapid, vacant, valueless
Violet venom

#haiku #poetry

There are many things
We do not wish to divulge
To those we love most

#haiku #poetry

Sedation, panic
Why must I give up control
To heedless doctors

Why am I still hurt
The pain remains today
When I think of you

#poetry #haiku

Dumbest thing I've written in a minute.

Horse whisperer Sam
Poor man got kicked in the can
Now he goes by Dan

#haiku #poem #silly #weekend

Vehement voices
Violently veil the void
Vicious and vacant

#haiku #poetry

Almost made it to 30
But the voices were too loud
We miss you dearly

Today I was told
The best parts of me are dying
That the company I keep is killing me

How did I grow so old
Surrounding myself with lying
I am afraid of what I see

Frigid winter morn
Calm and still in your embrace
But soon sun will warm

Today I was told
The best parts of me are dying
That the company I keep is killing me

How did I grow so old
Surrounding myself with lying
I am afraid of what I see

It's Sestet Tuesday!

Time to write!

They always tell us
We should stop looking backward
Then it continues

#haiku #poetry

Royal blood money
Shaming all who do indulge
Was there no option

#haiku #poetry

Thank those that are there
So many will never be
Praise the ones that are

Typed up an explanation for my last haiku because someone massively misread it and got offended, and ...

Nope. Not going down that road.

Deleted the explanation and blocked.

If you are trolling the poetry feed for haikus you don't like, I don't really see the point in engaging.

Memories of home
Isolation jealousy criticism
I am not never was
The little woman at home
I am the wind howling cold down the chimney
I am the furious fire devouring your soul
Denial of your superiority endemic to the marrow of my bones
The strength of my dna
roars in my language
Not yours
#VSS365

Nice of you to make a bunch of assumptions based on a haiku from a stranger that you clearly misinterpreted.

Do you usually troll the poetry feed for things you don't like?

Found family is
A lie we strive ever for
Because we have broke
