Memory will be the death of me
Keeping a little leash on my destiny
Always dragging me back to the place
Where I fell from your grace

This poem by Thomas Hood was published almost 200 years ago. And yet, even today, to read it aloud is to taste the echo of melancholy and imagination inked fresh on the tip of the tongue. I illustrated it in comic format for the fun of it!

Hello poets & @thebrokenspine.co.uk
- for this week's #LiftToTheSky I'd like to call out Melanie Green’s A Long, Wide Stretch of Calm
At the Edge of a Lake
“At the shore / of silence— / what becomes / and unbecomes”
The Luster of Silence
“in afternoon’s / echo of lights.”

We ache
all of us
we are sore
we know the abuse we have suffered
it’s even worse when the pain
has been inflicted
by those we held sacred.
Raped by those we loved
how can we reconcile
the pain
with our patriotism?

I watch as the birds #increase their #nest, stacking intertwined leaves and twigs ever higher, walling their new family in;
Much later, I am genuinely #flummoxed by their #departure, as if this family portrait I could
aspire to was just an abandoned
birds nest.

I’m scared of hearses
I “may be the next to die”
fear the afterlife

Thanks @unicornvibes.bsky.social for the quirky song.
Joy and happiness,
Peace through love, kindness on high,
A smile will shine.

We tumble together
and smooth each other
like gemstones
until the silky curves we reveal
astound us

The moon above my sailboat
post-shower night ride
some flashy nocturnal eyes
scurrying right there

Emotion.
Sometimes still,
Sometimes wild,
Like a lake of glass,
Strong as a raging hurricane,
Swirling like clouds,
Bringing soft rain,
Comes in waves,
Roiles like soup,
Sometimes empty as Boötes Void,
Sometimes thick as the Tarantula Nebula,
All the same strong as diamond.
Emotion
#poetey
It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.

An elegant mellow demeanor
The zenith of beauty
Only brought by the passage of time
A woman who has grown and aged
At the beauty of her 30s or 40s
The golden age of her beauty
