Sometimes, prayer is listening to Nick Cave and folding laundry
#NewPoem #Poetrysky
Screenshot of poem titled: OSCILLATIONS. Writhing, howling succubus trapped in man flesh, paint your icon over your hell, my dull face. Such euphoric portraits negate despair's brawn. Choke us in rapture. Let your angel watch as we dance around threats. When her feather brushes your shrouded horn tip, frantic, fevered arias press our rash needs over my cautions. You can love her, knowing she'll quit this town soon. Any rising streams can recede before waves drop electric eels in our rusty nail bed. Dullness prevails, then.
Still on the fence with my new formatting but I'm willing to let it grow on me.

Think I forgot to share this one during recovery. Prose poem out in last month's Spring issue of Equinox.

Poetry often breathes life into the chaotic beauty of our sleeping minds.
By venturing into the subconscious, we capture the fleeting images and raw feelings that stay hidden behind the veil of logic.

French people do care… they’re just born with a kind of insouciance and a Gallic shrug.

When you see it from a boat on the water, you’d never guess Peggy Guggenheim’s Venice home hides a world-class art collection.

how far
you have traveled
to find home.
how sweet
to have known it
even once—
all the sea to sky

Golden leaves fall like whispers of goodbye,
Yet in their dance, new dreams begin to rise.
Through autumn winds, a quiet hope takes flight,
That love will bloom again in springtime light.

I used to think
love would complete me.
Now I see
it meets me where I am whole.

; winter thaws as spring
blossoms; sunlight wakes the earth
from peaceful slumber.

#NaPoWriMo Day 11. The prompt was to create a blackout/erasure poem. I’ve never done #blackoutpoetry before; this was fun! #poetrysky
A screenshot of a notes app note, which reads: 30 Days of Sonnets: Day 11 But just before I close my eyes in death I'll look over the life that I have lived: The loved ones that I leave with my last breath, The deeds I've done, and all I've left behind. I wonder what that future me will find, Taking the weight and measure of her life: Was she remembered fondly? Was she kind? Did she succeed where her ambition led? And will she face oblivion with dread, This me-to-come mere moments from her end, Or will I, lying in my final bed Find comfort in my mental epitaph? And from these musings stems a simple plan: To live without regret as best I can.
Day 11 of #30DaysOfSonnets: for today's sonnets I took the first line for a poem by @jessicajocelyn.bsky.social as inspiration (I saw it shared on my Discover feed Nd thought I'd saved the post, but apparently not) #PoetrySky #WritersSky #Poetry #writingcommunity
sunshine outside my window
I would rather it be rain
that way I would not feel
as if I was missing anything

I’ve been reading May Swenson’s work sporadically for a long time now, and every time I go back to it, I’m reminded of how remarkable her use of enjambment was.
#poetrysky
Shall we fly away to a castle in the sky
Where sunshine warms our very souls
We can watch the clouds roll by all day
And gaze at stars all night

Mōrena e te whānau, a lone magpie is singing on the roof but the other day this was what I saw and heard:
trilling magpies five
welcome daybreak with their song
neighbourhood alarm
#poetrysky #senryū #poemsky
Our magpies in Aotearoa seem to be more chill than their Aussie cousins.
Rebuilding the Temple As I remodel my old self I'll start just below the surface Scraping, scratching, clawing Digging down deep Into my mind's dark corners, Clearing narrow, cluttered passageways, Tidying the unkempt, abandoned chambers, And dusting unnagivable twisted staircases Until I've found myself again There among the rubble Will you find me desirable? Even as this disheveled heap Maddeningly redraws fantastical battle lines Creates these cork board red string conspiracies To send armies of imaginations Like a desperate despot of despair Will you love me still as I rebuild this temple?
