This one sits apart.
#Firmament isn’t leaving the world — it’s asking what frames it.
Bring us work with scale, control, and intent.

We were so thrilled to watch a pair of hooded orioles in the garden last week.

fog fills the valley, hiding everything beyond the churchyard wall, and curls around the tower where jackdaws huddle in the limestone tracery. before the morning’s out the sky is clear again — deep blue and cloudless. wood smoke scents the chill December air. outside the church the winter sunshine fails to warm the vicar in his cassock, cotta, and black mask. the wind tugs at his vestments as he greets parishioners six feet apart, their voices, raised but muffled, batted back and forth in short-lived clouds of warm, inconsequential breath. * from the void the bleak arises grey-eyed, sleepy, slow, it slinks into the unattended mind…
"[fog]" & "[from the void]" from "Trickling Grains of a Life: an Unauthorised Autobiography" - Section 4: "Churchill (2020- )"

Spring Scene
Grown perfectly numbered
in naturally wild frames
Inclined fields of gold trumpets
with wide petal manes
Climbing & rolling
on photogenic green miles
Beneath the bluest skies
collected by sunniest smiles.

At the shore where twilight softly glows,
We trace our laughter in the sand below.
The waves hum gently to the fading light,
Two hearts playing in the gold of night.

Choose sure your #target
Wise are the thoughts that whisper
Planning a rescue
#Ourpoetryx #amwriting #writingcommunity #poetry #bskypoets #blueskypoetry #poetsofbluesky #chronicillness #prompt #acceptingdarkness
Walk softly as you approach
Accepting darkness as a must
Inhale the scented turmoil
While torture's prison turns
Shift around what makes sense
By the lake where silence gently lay,
Our laughter danced in fading light of day,
Reflections held the love we used to know,
Now ripples guard the dreams we let go.

Not poems about stars.
Poems that use the sky to interrogate everything beneath it.
#Firmament is open.

Learning to breathe- a new atmosphere
A mind so frigid can it survive?
Cluttered space meant for so much
Vicious it is what we oft allow
Catch me now- your hand my redemption
Here's my #poem that I posted today! Enjoy!

Siezing the #fractured notes
of the song
Pouring forth in #rivulets
from brow to chest
Worried and stuck
in the dark gray room
Unsure and unsatisfied
with what's in the mirror
Set me free

Keep the dark, tense world at bay

in dust and heat the opening looked dark and cool inviting me to enter so I did I fled the harshness of the sunlight found that I was not alone but shared my shelter with the living and the dead a little group of men and women stood and looked about them urgently elatedly while on a simple shelf carved from the rock a corpse was laid wound tight in cerecloth stained in places from a scattering of wounds no longer noisome — dried out in the arid air I asked the searchers: what is it you seek? we left our murdered friend and teacher here they answered me but when we came the stone was rolled aside the body gone I looked from them to where the body lay in sere serenity and back to them but I could see their gaze glide over it as though the winding cloth were left untenanted and so I held my peace (published in Poetry Salzburg Review 42, 2025)

I detailed, realistic black and white rendering of the full moon superimposed over a pink oval. Text reads: Every time I hear Pink Moon I think of her. San Francisco to Seattle. The red sands of Shasta. The moon over Crater Lake. She wanted to stop and see. We didn't. She wanted to stay in Portland. We didn't. We drove so hard. It went bad. I had to get home for some reason
Urgency without clarity. Ignoring what matters in real time. Without knowing why. And only recognizing it later through a song.
Zen is the unnoticed part of ordinary experience.

Beneath the silver glow of the moon’s soft light,
Our dreams of love take wing into the night.
Whispers of hope drift through skies above,
Guided by moonbeams, we learn to love.

A screenshot of a notes app notes, which reads: 30 Days Of Sonnets: Day 4 I miss long summers underneath the trees: The bluebells carpeting the ground, the hush Beneath the canopy, the whispering breeze That rustles through the creeping underbrush. The shade is cool and soothing on my skin, Baked underneath the blazing midday sun, As the first maple seeds tumble and spin Towards the earth below. My fingers run Along the flaking bark and papery leaves As I breathe in the heavy-scented dirt, 'Til evening draws me home, and my heart greaves To leave behind this haven and revert Back to my mundane life boxed in by walls So seldom breeched by nature's joyous calls.
Day 4 of #30DaysOfSonnets: todays ended up being a tribute to all those hours walking in the woods when I wasn't allowed to. #PoetsOfBlueSky #WritersSky #PoetsSky #Poetry #writingcommunity
The body is discovered, limp and bloody ball of ragged feathers, red breast dulled, claw torn. Rooks are sent to carry out a beak-tip search of nearby fields, but nothing’s found. There are no suspects there are no clues there’s no direction only talk and the killer gloats as generalis-ations force out knowledge
