He just wasn't at like

Ideas that were
Revolutionary once,
Toppling tyrants.
#OurPoetryX #revolutionary #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity
@ourpoetryx.bsky.social
A revolutionary idea forms
beneath thought as pressure,
old rules soften into silence,
new order rises
from fractured certainty,
systems return altered,
holding a shape
that resists settling.

TANKA
How tall the corn grows,
no leaf directly over
another, each leaf
looking out for its neighbor,
unwilling to block its light.
inspired by a line in Braiding Sweetgrass

A poetry graphic with a foreground text and background picture. The foreground text reads: Cast out, on cold stone? Exiled. Plots of jealous greed steal all that you sow. Reclaim fame – Your own. All Inspired by bright lead; watching your name grow. Warm thanks... From the throne! Investiture for your deeds: forcing flight to foe. The background image shows: An AI generated image of a mechwarrior being given noble honors by the king on a science fiction battlefield. They stand in ceremony, flanked by surrounding scifi military units.
It never pays to defraud the self made marvel – Especially when your victim got to where they are by crushing their enemies. Not smart... just saying.
The challenge prompts were:
1. Exile
2. Inspired
3. Investiture

-Inspired-
We live, love, and feel far beyond our daily routine. We look for ways to express it & share the beauty with others. Letting them be inspired by what we give.
From the vault: Real
#inspired
by the goodness
of people
it still exists
in a world
filled with
uncertainty
it is easy
to be cynical
and believe
the worst of man
but there is still
true humanity
to be seen.

I
used
to
be
good
at
remembering
things;
a
life
made
of
ordinary
days
inspired
by
certainties
but
the
winds
of
hope
tired
Now
the
iridescent
fog
glistening
with
lies
blinds
us
from
a
golden
truth

The poet was inspired,
as rain fell upon
the quiet town,
and the sound gathered
upon roof and stone,
like footsteps in a
corridor without end,
while the lamp burned low
in the still chamber,
and night came slowly
into the room.

Eureka moment,
Overwhelmingly inspired,
A New York minute.

If you could see me now
Eyes glistening
Silence stricken
Waiting alone
For songs sung from the heart
Beating as only yours can
I will call your name at dawn
Light breaking on the land
Follow it beyond the west
To find & take your hand
Turn once to smile
Sweet lady

An afternoon moon
teases a glistening
stream,
splintering light
breaks
then joins,
inviting
a walk listening
to ripples
#foxprose #ourpoetryx #poetry
Pressing into the glistening
roses apparent, a beautiful
yearning, held back by a sigh
seems it's always 9 p.m.
when midnight fits better
growls louder with clarity
stars heave out of sight
a new moon urgently invites
the heart to shimmer

Look for meaning
Words fail
Feelings pale
Find the taste of love
In memory
Stained soul
Baring all
Instrumental
Listen for a looping call
Sung in darkness
Behind the mind
No conscious touch
Pulsing grooves
Borne on the wind
Shifting melody
Like the breeze
Magic
Free

Glistening leaves hung
upon the branches
after the rain,
as morning entered
the garden like a child,
touching wet leaf after leaf,
while drops fell to the path,
light resting on the
quiet ground below.

At the head of the room,
instrumental silence
collects each voice
into conclusion,
glances hold at
the table’s edge,
order settles before
the first word.

-Residual-
Something left over after passing by or through. A lingering scent, a physical impression, or something intangible that can’t be shaken loose.
From the vault: Lilac
Emotion hangs
in the air
#residual
the thunder
of arguments
the pleas
of a shattered
soul
the heavy weight
of history
like a train collision
that has already
happened
#OurPoetryX #poetry #writing #writingcommunity
Residual guilt,
A lifetime of missed birthdays,
Absent big brother.

@ourpoetryx.bsky.social
Dawn presses behind closed eyelids,
a heat seated along the rim of sight,
retina still lit by what the room has lost,
light settling into breath without return,
thought reduced to residual pressure and blur,
morning fixed where vision no longer moves.

-Delicacy-
Treat life like the delicacy it is. Savor the little details and delicate elements that make it unique for each of us.
From the vault: Sapphire
She carries the sun in her eyes
And follows the moon’s wisdom in her soul
You can't shadow a woman
who knows exactly where the light comes from (2/2)
