predator, what do
we have in common besides
eating meat and flesh?

A day for sharing recipes about greens
A day of my real mothers day
I play with recipe swaps, egg whites shimes
For a soup with white pepper today

I see an in to be distant
I see a container for my grief
A note of having a kismet
A sigh of a conjoinment ends relief #poetry #collab #poetrycommmunity

i wish i could hold your sadness for you, run my fingers through it, until i untangled your every grief. i'd cut off the split ends and braid my love in with a silk ribbon.

If a non-prompted verse is haiku or senryu, I believe we're free to use the #HaikuChallenge hashtag. (That's what I do, and I believe it's considered to be kosher. :) ) Additionally, many poets use one or more of these tags for sundry types of poetry: #Poetry #MicroPoetry #PoetryCommmunity.

This painting depicts a lone figure with outstretched arms, illuminated by a radiant, golden light that pierces the surrounding darkness. The figure stands atop a mound of bodies, symbolising sacrifice and resilience. Encircling them are shadowy, faceless oppressors wielding spears, their forms merging with the ominous clouds. Bare, thorny branches claw toward the figure, evoking the "thorn’d path" of virtue. A crescent moon hangs in the night sky, mourning over the scene, while the crowd below raises their arms in defiance. The bold brushstrokes and deep hues of blue, gold, and crimson create a dramatic contrast between hope and despair.

Lo, scales of fate tilt,
‘Twixt sun and despair’s night.
Chains clasp righteous plea,
Tyrants laugh unseen.

Virtue’s thorn’d path we tread,
Shadows hiss, “Turn.”
Souls unbeguiled,
Fight ‘gainst night, reconciled.

Moon mourns the slain,
Blind Justice, tears in vain.

ANITA BRYANT’S LAST CHRISTMAS WISH The New Verse News presents politically progressive poetry on current events and topical issues.

I wrote another take on the death of Anita Bryant, and now it's been published in The New Verse News. Read "Anita Bryant's Last Christmas Wish." Thanks to James Penha for publishing my work again. #poetry #poetrycommmunity @newversenews.bsky.social @jamespenha.bsky.social
