Night said a prayer
Trees formed a boreal shroud
Over the new grave.

#BSPP48 #BorealShroud #haiku #senryu

This holiday I am #nostalgic
#wreath upon the door
lights on the eaves
tree touch the ceiling
in a few days
they will all be packed away
till the next year
when the air is cold again
and snow covers the grass

#BSPP48 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

Years that went before
Hung on a nostalgic wreath
Survival trophy.

#BSPP48 #nostalgicwreath #haiku #senryu

the chilly
floor sticks
to our feet

while steam
whistles
with passion

dreamy
in this liminal
state

with arms
linked
like nostalgic
wreathes

leaning
into each other

on this...

the Last Day

of the Year

Laying down one last
Nostalgic wreath, moving on
From grief to breathing.

memories of you
good and bad intertwining
a nostalgic wreath

We went for a picnic Out on the moon A lunar luncheon Travelled by canoe You rowed me out Through the stars view A glint of white winter light Betrayed a June afternoon The nocturnal charm Hatched some cocoons So we ate cured meats With an alien or two

Today’s poem brought to you by prompts:

the letter O, and the number 6.

Winter glint
Sunlight beams through icicles
Picture perfect scene

reflecting sunlight
glint in old man
winter's eye
icicles sparkle

winter glint

The solstice has come and gone
#winter #glint will wither and fade
with the coming spring warmth
but the planet will go round
and snow will appear again
and Christmas come once more

heavy

warm air

soft

flowing

shadows

searching

for a past

memory

was there

any...better than...this?

the winter

glint

is our answer

burrowing

deeper

in the folds

of our blanket

#BSPP48 #poem #poetry #WritingCommunity

The cold, a soundrel
In its eyes a winter glint
Such chilly mischief.

#BSPP48 #WinterGlint #haiku #senryu

Wandering between
The realms, a Winter glint caught
My eyes, what is this?

winter glint pierces
wounds sleepy eyes with wonder
a soul’s coup de grâce

#BlueSkyPoetry #BSPP48 #WinterGlint #haiku #poetryCommunity

Deep in the corners
Where the shadows lay
Now out of the dark
The whispers will fade
A shimmer and a spark
May light our way
But death leaves a mark
And shadows still play

#BSPP48 #ShimmeredShadow #poetry #writingcommunity #blueskypoetry

a #shimmered #shadow
in the lake at dusk
winter's light dies early
those not used to it
wander around confused
but nature just accepts
and goes to sleep

#BSPP48 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

Shimmered shadows
Background to a cold cloudless sky
Northern lights steal the show

unaware

of winter's chill

we dive deep

in shimmered shadows

drawn to the currents

undulating within

everything

becomes still

we don't

even breathe

#BSPP48 #poem #poetry #writerscommunity

I floated toward
His shimmered shadow, got lost
In his warm darkness.

#BSPP48 #ShimmeredShadow #haiku #senryu

Under the ice, a
Shimmered shadow simmered in
Restless impatience.
#BSPP48 #ShimmeredShadow #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity
@blueskypoetry.bsky.social

Sunk within themselves,
fearful, foolish, yet we cast
a shimmered shadow

The #fading #gleam
of another Christmas
that has passed
memories made
and friends met
while some are broken
and others pass on
so goes life for
the rest of the year

Dec. 31

Nostalgic wreath rests
on the front door outside.
Ramy lifts the puppy
high in both hands, smiling.
The year settles.
Joy moves freely now.
Ramy stands ready to
welcome the new year
with hope and love.

Dec. 30

Winter glint catches
on the backyard fence.
Ramy smiles,
showing his new puppy
to the neighbor boy.
Cold air laughs between them.
The puppy wriggles,
life shared easily,
joy no longer guarded,
moving outward,
naturally.

Dec. 29

Shimmered shadow
dances along the walls.
Ramy watches,
the new puppy chasing light,
paws skimming the floor.
The past rests quietly,
no longer pressing,
while the present hums
with warmth,
movement,
and soft, bright life.

Sell roasted chestnuts
Fading gleam of the fire
Burnt fingers and mouth

A sight unseen
Of old memory
So it seems
I’m hemorrhaging
All the things
I knew in dreams
Of the seraphim
And defiled screams
I let them breathe
In a fading gleam
Of in-between
