#escapril day 13 for the prompt ‘redacted’, titled “without”

Hiding in plain sight
At the Masquerade ball
Sparkles and feathers
We just choose not to see

Text: 12.4.2026 - View from a Train Window Yorkshire is fresh green over chalk pale earth, with the occasional neon yellow flash of rapeseed, border trees with tentative new leaves, long, corrugated iron barns, the odd scattering of sheep, blocky graffiti under bridges, and pylons like huge steel walkers, sliding past. When I was small I made a game of watching them sync up and drift apart. I do it now. Not much has changed. Somewhere a bomb has just fallen.

#napowrimo poem for today.

#escapril day 12: invisible string

Title: #souls

#poem #soulmates #fate #redthread #poetry

Page with sections blacked out so these words remain: You're pursuing an intimacy nobody can understand. you want to remain un erased: Of course, that advancing tide will carry you

Same as previous but whited out instead of blacked out

Today's #napowrimo prompt from www.napowrimo.net was to try a blackout poem. Serendipitously, I found this page from 'If On a Winter's Night a Traveler' by Italo Calvino that happened to contain the word 'erased'.

Escapril 2026 Day 9 At the morgue

Yeah Damar, what kind of people give those orders? When the life of a person who died yesterday is worth precisely as much as that of a dino dead for millenia, and it’s not even a metaphor and if they’re still alive, they’re nothing but a hindrance standing between you and your god-given money you and your pleasure tell me how you like to grab them take them to this lovely place, far away, a mate of you told you about your pretty little island in the middle of the sea or was it the sky? the answer carried from the moment we were unfortunate enough to be born a prize or a bitten pretzel drying on a rope under your watchful eye your wandering, unfocused gaze your all-knowing blank behind your very vision your vision of rage greed whim lust · I’m like a smart person, you see, smart people don’t like me so what did you expect to happen when you walked into a room full of them Don’t listen to them they don’t know what they’re talking about don’t let their stifled laughter get under your skin the last thing we want is another tantrum shaking the world somehow even more apart than it already is just go to sleep please just rest forever (and don’t come back) there’s no more left to do here Congratulations, you did it! Trust us all when we say you have successfully achieved your goal and your mission is complete Please believe just this one thing as blindly as you have asked us to believe you so far that nobody could have done it better than you have Don’t you think that’s fair? If only those old six words would be enough today. Don’t you think he does though?

Day 8 of #escapril for the prompt ’abundance’. Title is “infinity”

Day six of #escapril and the prompt for today is “a weapon” so here is my interpretation, titled “lexicon”

Escapril day 5 poem.
Had to sit with this prompt for a long time before something that felt honest and authentic came through.

#poem #poetry #escapril #napowrimo

a poem by @kattra: what to do when the muse moves in takes up space, gets physical? flicking the lights on&off pulling you from bed at all hours sitting in your lap / a constant whisper in your ear / or, abandoning all subtlety – pulling out the megaphone, bellowing inspiration – your buzzing excuses slapped down like flies: “I’m busy, I can’t [write/right] now, I’m tired, I’m at work” this is the work, darling, now – listen, now – catch me –

Day 3 of Escapril and I’m really liking this one. It’s different in many aspects from the other two poems I’ve shared. It’s got more sensory elements and feels grounded in a moment that is reflective of a larger experience.

Day 2 of national poetry month and me taking part in the #escapril challenge. I really loved this prompt and sharing it with you all.

poem by @kattra: is she sweet on your tongue? last summer / citrus bright mornings / heating up / molten sunshine / like honey / spilling across bodies / stripped down / like gold / flowing across thresholds / between you & me — remember? the priestess & the fool

Ich, jedes Jahr: vielleicht lass ich den #Escapril einfach, das ist trotz allem immer Stress und es ist eh schon so viel los

Ich, sobald ich die Prompts sehe: omg, ich muss dieses Jahr unbedingt mitmachen, das wird schon, ganz bestimmt!

I am very late for this year‘s #escapril because april just kept on hardcore happening, but I will be doing #latescapril instead and just catch up whenever I can.

As always, I don’t prewrite and I don’t expect any masterpieces, I just like the exercise.

Vor einem grauen Hintergrund mit einer pastellfarbenen Pflanzenranke ist das Buch "Wildwechsel ins Nichts" von Charline Winter abgebildet. Auf dem Cover ist eine verregnete Landstraße zu sehen. Über dem Buch steht der Satz: "Vermisst du die Escapril-Gedichte schon?" Vom Buch gehen drei Pfeile ab. An den Pfeilen auf der linken Seite steht: "ländliche liminal spaces" und "Wölfe, Rehe & unheimliche Gestalten". An dem Pfeil auf der rechten Seite steht: "Sammlung von u.a. Escapril-Gedichten aus den Vorjahren". Ganz unten steht der Satz: "Als E-Book und Print bei Books on Demand und allen gängigen Buchshops erhältlich."

Der #Escapril ist vorbei & es war wieder mal wunderschön! Danke an alle, die mitgelesen & mitgemacht haben 💚✨

Und wer die regelmäßigen Gedichte von mir schon vermisst: Ich habe da letztes Jahr mal was veröffentlicht 🦌🖤

Stolen – The End This mini-series poem tells the story of a relationship that seems perfect as an outsider. Here is the final chapter.

As we close our #NaPoWrimo and let the spirit of #Escapril go - so closes the final story of the month, "Stolen."

Some #relationships damage us in ways that cannot be described, but sometimes #lovelost is the only way forward.

Shout out to @guerillaescapril for the prompts this week xoxo
