My 6-year-old this morning wakes up and says, “Dad, I have to tell you something, but it’s really upsetting.”
I get concerned and say, “what’s wrong, honey?”
And she goes, “I don’t know if you know this, but waterfalls are really dangerous. You can’t go down them.” 😂

exhaustion drawing
feeble words to the surface
sleep — miracle cure
#senryu #poetry #morningmusings
meadow at high noon
brimstone butterfly soaring
nectar treat awaits
#poetry #haiku #morningmusings
A modern building the windows are lit in different colours in front of it the blur of a passing car
windows dressed up in
returning, bright spring colours
evening glazed over
in orange lights all cats stray
lilac longing — padding onwards

we're mourning every soul
lost in this war for oil
dressed in black, keeping toll
of unmeasurable cruelty
dressed up in new-speak
aggressor fails to own up
to greed that started wars
polluted hearts won't budge
as Gaia weeps and shakes
trying to rid herself of us
#poetry #morningmusings
us poets
face the great divide
fates tied together
yet dark flames
lick at our
tapestry of shared
stanzas
●○●
will we remain
resilient —
creating more
bridges than
are being burned?
will we remain
compassionate
in the face
of cruelty?

Your disco needs you.
Some sweet blast from the past.
This song is so underrated and
camp af. I remember how I loved this when I was in my disco bunny era.
Can't believe this gem is already 26 years old. 🎵🎶✨️

Ever feel like the universe is dancing and you're just learning the steps? Alan Watts reminds us: the point of dancing isn't arrival, it's the dance itself. What's your dance today? 💃🕺 #AlanWatts #Philosophy #MorningMusings
Cold, golden morning.
Feet and fingers freezing
but seeing the sun rise
rouses hope
the glow will grow
into warmth.
#sunrise #poetryfragment #morningmusings #poetrycommunity #songwriter
post-workout glow
barely survived the machines
body calling for truce

Me: Caring for the wellbeing of 13 small humans every day.
Also Me: Barely stopping myself from putting the kettle into the fridge.

all he could wish for

Aphrodite smiles serenely St. Valentine can kiss my butt if only he'd had a head to do so Cupid's arrows won't pierce this old heart of mine the penetration of it all breaking normative frames deconstructing tradition superstition to sell more flowers, and tacky greeting cards no thanks I'd rather choke — gag reflex unavailable than follow the trail of broken hearts Aphrodite smiles serenely as I am walking the path of resistance, feeding true love instead of that cheapend concept of Romance, badly applied
Don't want to rain on your parade.
(Or maybe I do)
💞
I wrote a rather...different poem for Valentine's Day (still a hoax imo)
🏹💘🤭

weekend ahead
brimming possibilities
first choice — coffee
#poetry #haiku #morningmusings
meditation won't
replace sleep but
refreshes the spirit
nevertheless — thought blossoms
and withers, timeless cycling
#tanka #morningmusings #poetry
Today I'm thankful that I can stay inside and cuddle with my kitties
#morningmusings
tired as mountains
weighed down by heavy snowfall
stretch and unfurling
wings slightly bruised yet ready
weeks of worry and wonder
#poetry #morningmusings #poetrycommunity #tanka
Just a thought
AI won't save humanity
If you're actively using AI
to create "art"
this feed is not
the place
thanks for coming
to my ted-talk
PS: stop calling it art if you're only contribution to it was feeding chunks of text into an engine.

Changing horizon.
The day waking slowly now.
Just like I, most days.

muskrat's twitching tail
highest squeaks to no avail
skitters into hole
lettershaped once was a nest
songbirds left some while ago
#tanka #morningmusings #poetry
#poetrycommunity
illusion of time
keeping willful prisoners
structures that only
bind you without providing
won't last the test of ages
○●○
your connections
run along deeper courses
smallest of banter
fed by understanding's springs
may raise them into kinship

scrapping subtexts, let's
cut to the point: we are just
Gaia's guests — welcomes
are easily overstayed
robbing blind our gracious host
#tanka #firewords280 #poetry #morningmusings
surrendering — shot's
sharp sting solidifying
smooth sailing sunwards
#tautogram #senryu #poetry
#vaccination #morningmusings
looking for a true
happy trail
not for bears
in the woods
although they
might be fun
happy trails
undetectable
fur galore
scratch my belly
if I scratch yours?
#WildWalkPrompt #humour #queer #poetry #morningmusings
odd, familiar time
slept queer through the small hours
devices' glow holds
nothing against lunar mood
silver — artificial red specks
#tanka #poetry #morningmusings
revisited this one
he's still pathetic
he's still a coward
he's still silent
in light of injustice
his inertia speak
louder than his
crude speeches
I'm trying my hardest
to endure
