A piece of #driftwood has been left by the #tide. Its #surface is #battered and #bleached by the #sea and #sand. Shot on #Formby #beach #NTFormby, a #nationaltrust #nature area. Darren Smith Photography is a local #photographer, see more at www.darrensmith.org.uk #photography #Macro
Seeing a lot of “I’d 8-2 be a #CFC” supporter right about now on the TL.
And I just want to say, keep them coming 😂. #Battered
The #remedy lies with Congress.
Congress alone holds the power to Impeach • Convict • Remove
Congress has become the #battered woman who falsely believes appeasement will end the abuse.
Flounder

An old #battered #workshop on the #Woodrolfe #creek in #Essex. This is a #working #localbusiness #shipyard on the #East #coast of the #UK, part of the #local and #national #English #heritage #SAVEBrit. Shot in #BlackAndWhite. #blackandwhitephotography #amazingplaces #places_wow
#Battered by the tide,
a lone dock post
bears witness
to a spiritual release—
singing,
soothsaying
storm clouds to sleep,
so the sun may smile
again,
clear-skied and #carefree.

An etheree poem penned in response to several BlueSky writing prompts. Black text on gradient grey and white background: last night I saw an odd and battered scene made manifest whilst in murky ‘mares the sun and the moon roared and scrummed fire and flame met ice and wind clashing with harsh brilliance below an old oak I parse the signs - spinetingling - my soul Screams #FromOneLine 395 #prompt | Last night I saw #blueskyrelay | #manifest #emoetry | #battered #OurPoetryX | #spinetingling #2WordPrompt | brilliant, sign

Guess it’s a natural progression
To go from abused child
To emotionally #battered adult.
“Self care begins at home, faker.
Get a fucking divorce.”
“Not that easy,” says the one who fears.
What exactly is she afraid of?
#emoetry
Think im done for awhile
#Battered
ink drips from nib
from heart to carrier
In your self-love
endeavors, why then
have you offered me
countlessly as bait?
Dangled as worm
before your prey
In healing
we are also
consumed
#poetry #emoetry
I know the #signs
I'm in a funk
#brilliant surprise
not even drunk
life's an #experiment
love is bunk
#battered heart
#destroyed & shrunk
#manifest romance
end up in a trunk
helpful tip, #arch your back & spoon the spare tire

Please, take a moment...
listen to these feathered words'
frantic fluttering
within the quaking chambers
of this battered, yearning heart.

#writingcommunity #poetry
My soul feels #battered. No energy left. My whole life feels like an #experiment. Always destined to fail. Like some #manifest or other determines all my difficulties. All my woes.
Now the dark season is starting. It’s cold. Lonely. Like a #vulture feasting.

the #sign was #battered
the buildings shattered
above, the #brilliant star #arch
twinkled with unconcern
another failed human #experiment
forgotten long before
the signal reaches them

If that’s what battered
means, then how can we ever
Trust rain slicker guy?

Wind through
Mind unquiet
Sorting leaves
Of old thought
Not alphabetically
Of course
But by size and color
Battered memories
Hiding in corners
And some just
A little too shy
Behind metaphorical
Trees in the
Basement timidly
Wondering if
Might be kept
Or possibly
swept away
#emoetry
#battered
Bruised and #battered,
I crawl
To something--
Anything at all
For safety. Comfort.
A moments reprieve
"You must keep going"
"You have to believe"
They say, and I
Push away any doubt
I pray, or try
To keep the thoughts out
But here
With hope out of sight
I fear
I've no strength to fight
#emoetry
Old floors warped by tears
Chipping paint and battered walls
This home has a soul

#battered yet unbowed
A battle that still goes on
soon you will triumph

Photo of Los Angeles Dodger's Shohei Ohtani celebrating. This Major League Baseball sensation just had another career game.
He #battered every pitch his way
Eighteen innings kept crowd alive
His bat refused to fade away
He battered every pitch his way
The other team had naught to say
Hope for them could barely survive
He battered every pitch his way
Eighteen innings kept crowd alive

"Why are you in the tapestry room?"
"I've #battered my toe in the dark kicking that #sign again."
" #Brilliant timing. The castle opens in 10 mins."
I'd cry if I could but ghosts don't shed tears. They make loud wailing sounds, instead, and claw at the walls to get out.

I am captivated by bruised fruit, by cracked sidewalks, by dented cars - for me, these are as beautiful as the moon’s #battered face.
#emoetry #poem
The Holy Trinity, divine,
lends His name to Shakespeare’s shrine,
where song-lark ministers to those
whose choral aspirations rose.
Yet underneath the polished sheen
lurks anything but grace serene;
as #battered souls still reel in pain
from that song-lark’s “lovely” refrain.
My flesh is #battered and bruised
And with the verbal lashings used
My soul too collapses into ribbons.
I attempt to paste it back with fun
Meaningless pleasure mandates
I declare standing in state at Fates
Endless whim
Divine grim.

One #evening
with the light of a misty moon
A stealthy #vulture swooped
under an #arch
made by human hands
a storm #battered
paper thin houses
An #experiment gone wrong
in a mind lost within a deep purple haze
#emoetry #WildWalkPrompt #vss365 #vssdaily
That ominous feeling
on a dark autumn #evening,
like a #vulture lurking
on the #arch of the skyline.
My senses #battered
by constant vigilance—
I #experiment with
deep breathing,
but then that beak pecks
at the back of my neck—
the goosebumps
are back.
