Apr. 5

Fractured rivulets
threaded the thawing field,
like grief finding exits
through a wintered mind.

#BlueSkyPoetry #prompt fractured rivulets #BSPP52 #AprilStormlight

sundays
on the coast

our escape

from the world

waking to
liminal waves

and lullabies
of fractured
rivulets

#BSPP52 #poem #poetry #writerscommunity

Volatile storms threaten
to break the quietude
abandoning the pleas
spawning undesirable dread,
venomous catkins carpet
the dried obsidian field,
unwanted woes surface
relentless downpour cries
for the pining lone loon
#inkmine #BSPP52 #poetry #emoetry #vss365 #poem #horrorprompt #micropoem #writing

rivulets of tears
merging into a vast sea
weeping for the world

Fractured rivulets
small and unnoticed
but in time break out
into a roaring ocean

Venomous catkins
clung to the
willow’s breath,
as if longing itself
had learned to
poison spring.

Moonlight penetrates
the naked snowy forest,
trembling sparrows stir—
fragile pulses of life
skittering across
silvered branches.

Morningside
presses close,
obsidian showers
trace the mind’s
unspoken fractures.

Apr. 1

Trusting volatile crocuses
push through thawed soil,
recoiling at one hard word.

#BlueSkyPoetry #prompt volatile crocuses #BSPP52 #AprilStormlight

Fractured rivulets
Formed their own streams, then rivers
Rushing to the sea.

fractured rivulets
warbling over early stones,
will be river, sea

Deep, deeper still
within those fractured rivulets
I seem to wobble off track
a place to ground and let go
to not think or care
life paused, no thoughts

#BSPP52

Insecticides, pesticides
Drank up through the roots
Keeping the bugs away
With now poisonous juice
Changing the systems
To better suit ourselves
Until nature fought back
And the venomous catkins fell

#BSPP52 #venemouscatkins

Turquoise tides brush the shore
sandpipers weave in playful circles
sugary pineapples ripen
neath palm fronds canopy,
shimmering lagoon holds stillness
vivid orchids paint the earth,
tropical island beckon
the seasonal travelers
to rejuvenate in this sanctuary

#vss365 #inkmine #BSPP52 #poem #poetry

having survived
the evils of winter

spring came soft
like a lamb

the newly bloomed
catkins

perky and fuzzy

plump with
a joy

cloaked in sun

#BSPP52 #poem #poetry #writerscommunity

Along the riverbank
is an innocent threat
on the tree branches
swaying in the wind
with a sweet smell
are #venomous
#catkins waiting
to spread throughout
the land.

Nightmarish gardens,
Venomous catkins, squirrels
That can spit acid.

#Obsidian night
Darkness thick
#Showers of Rain
Cleansing broth
Finding permission
Refusal to dream

I saw two trembling sparrows
Shivering in the morning frost
Downy feathers pressed together
Feet nestled in a blanket of moss
Tiny bodies amongst the fluff
No extra body heat to be lost
I watch from inside, jealous
Of their singular thoughts

#BSPP52 #tremblingsparrows #wipdwalkprompt #moss

Delicate eggshells crack
sparrows tremble in bliss
hillside bells ringing
serving as a sign
for the life that just began

At the height
of the storm
the #trembling
#sparrows
cower in
the branches
and wait for it
to pass
the rain does not
last forever
the sun will
shine again

there are trembling sparrows in me i reach and they scatter return trembling sparrows in the chest trembling sparrows at the throat trembling sparrows without names trembling sparrows where words should have held the whole world just gone trembling sparrows in the empty place where trembling sparrows should have been trembling sparrows again

The cold now returns, the
Sparrows, they learn now
Trembling in their
Transgressions, obsessive
They built, they gathered
With guilt now destroyed
In a rage of the seasons

My heart feels
like a tiny sparrow
trembling with predator near
My mind seeks calm
since I cannot fly
to escape from my fears
My body reels
from modern cures
can there be healing
without tears?

#BSPP52 #PoetrySky

like trembling
sparrows

our hearts
seek shelter

tender grace
against the winter
storm

#BSPP52 #poem #poetry #writerscommunity

Our scared hearts opened
like trembling sparrows, wishing
to fly together.

A poem by Francesca L Rolle titled 'A Fable': When the sparrows sit trembling in the bushes, Someone has to go out and shoot the crows, And when the crows are dead, The sparrows will mob the cats, And the little girls will cry, Over the loss of their kittens, And their tears will go unnoticed, As Daddy sets traps for the rats.

Here's a slightly weird and morbid one for @blueskypoetry.bsky.social April prompt 3 #BlueSkyPoetry #BSPP52 #PoetryCommunity #Fable

trembling sparrows hop
echoing their small belief
fickle early spring
