Thanks a lot, Marcia.

Scars drawn on in ink
Begging us to watch you bleed
Nothing hits the bone

#poem #poetry #haiku #emoetry #skypoets

The lines blur between
my dreams and reality
each time you kiss me.

#haikufeels #blur #senryu #haiku

Whispers through the deep,
#Undersea currents dance and weave,
Secrets of the blue.

my imagination fuelled

by the idea of cloud

factories - reinforced my

childhood belief in magic. ✨

The #Undersea Exploration Society were down near the Mariana Trench, partying in their bespoke submarine and hoping to get a glimpse of Cthulhu. What they got was a screaming bloodbath when the winged squid god crushed the sub like a soda can. Those poor multimillionaires.

a heart made out of red butterflies on a white background . ALT: a heart made out of red butterflies on a white background .

When I was young
I knew a girl
Who claimed
To be a witch

She was a whiz
At #trickery
Her pranks
Oft gave me fits

Witch stole my heart
Right from my chest
& yet
I did not die

Her silence
When I asked it back
Cut deep
I will not lie

Now live & die
In moment where
I wait
For her reply
#vss365

She rose as if the moon had learned a pulse
and clothed itself in salt and breathing hair;

the undersea kept chapel in her silence,
pearls like prayers caught in her blissful care.

I saw her where the deep unfastens light
and made of following something close to prayer.

Dawn breaks without the noise of songbirds, creatures old legends tell of, before the floods.

Children now sleep in high trees, as we scour for food below; hoping in the future, they’ll find a way to rid the invading monsters from #undersea —could there be, songbirds again.

The #undersea research showed that there was a whole new world living there. Alice investigated and was stunned to meet different versions of herself. They were living the opposite lives to her as they took the paths that she rejected. She cried when she saw her missed opportunities.

"Welcome to #Undersea!" the mergirl declared.

"I think it's dead." The merboy poked the body.

"Uh oh," the mergirl replied, "I forgot humans can't breathe underwater like us. Quick, help me hide the body before dad finds out I killed another one." #vss365

Those #undersea dreams
Of what lurks below the tides
Down in darkest depths

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, the foxes are sitting. Green is facing Blue, who is sitting with his back towards Green, but is turning to look at Green over his shoulder. Green: I think the key difference in our communication is the "missing middle step". Blue: What is that? Blue has turned around, so now the foxes are facing each other. Green: If something makes no sense, I figure there's some missing part that would make it make sense. Blue: Right. Green: And you don't do that. Blue looks at Green in confusion as Green continues talking. Green: If you feed a california reaper to a baby, you will go deaf. Blue: That makes no sense. Green leans slightly forward. Green: The missing middle part is the screaming. Blue: Ah.

Mom levelling up the fill in the blank game 😅

@foxes-in-love.bsky.social flashback from March 2023!

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is Green, the other is Blue's mother, Red. Red turns around to look at Green, who listens. Red: Can you take the thing to the other ones at that one over there? Green stares back at her, blankly. Red's look of determined confidence does not falter. Green: ...The what over where? Red: Yes. Later, Blue and Green are walking together. Green: I adore your mother, but I can see where you get it from. Blue: Get what?

how is it still
that you imbue
so many thoughts
and pervade so many dreams

what frailty
of fate
or faith

what trickery
of heart
or notion

years have past
and nothing has changed
yet every day
i find a way
to sigh your name

White daisies and green ferns grow out of the cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean on a sunny day

A cluster of mayflowers. They always make me think of stars. ✨️

Nature's #trickery—
Galaxy of tiny stars
Sitting at my feet

Trickery We spot the font of trickery from any governmental office to usually explain away our own co-conspiring stupidity. That the coming global war might sort things out is so unlikely but will make this era be re-seen as one that was actually rather quaint and precious.

Hullo #vss365 and to #trickery #poetry

This is such a powerful and poignant piece, Peter.

Looking in your eyes
No amount of #trickery
Can bring back whats gone
#vss365 #haiku #poetry

Thanks Peter 😺

"Ladyhorse"

I sing to you daily
Love you forever
You crawl in my ear
Like a fever I treasure

An addiction created
Feelings fortunate
Also so welcome
I lay here in a slumber
Waiting to be enticed

You bring it out of me
Like ink to the page
I am a story to be told
Forever your slave

She used to say love was just #trickery. Just hormones dressed up and the glow of the candlelight. He'd laughed. Now he finds himself standing in the cereal aisle, unable to move, because someone nearby is wearing her shampoo.

The air knows #trickery, stealing caps from white waves and whispering into ears of corn. It ruffles feathers and bends trees to its games. The air knows tenderness, wind beneath wings, easing bees to golden beds and sharing memories between treetops who have lost sight of their roots. #vss365

She had finally got the dream life she wanted. The house reminded her of her childhood. Her job sparked her imagination. Her bad-tempered cat now adored her. The cat made her realise it was AI #trickery and long for something real.

Because pink... or green... or pink

Purple and grey clouds. 📷 Dreamcatcher

A full and fluffy end to another day...

Pink blossoms in focus and out of focus. 📷 Dreamcatcher

Perceptions of pink...

Some days feel like life is a tilted #scape
