“it’s hard to shake the #wariness..”

#Emoetry

#Wariness

Comes and goes
like waningness
open and close
in wantingness

#poetry #emoetry

cloudy crystal sight
tea leaf skull in bone china
grinning from this angle
wariness of vague portents
and of candle smoke specters

#Emoetry #wariness #tanka #poem #poetry

I reserve
My #wariness most
For myself a relic
Of childhood trauma
Seeing is believing
Until you realize
We color our perceptions
With our past
So how could I trust
Myself knowing
The storm survived
Still stirs inside me?
And knowing that
How could I ever say
I can love and forgive?

#emoetry

Fancy coffee with extra shots
Chug a Red Bull then energy gum
Caffeine to kill our wariness
Until your reality hums
Anything to keep us going
But then the evening comes
Chamomile tea and Ambien
Amulets for self regulation

My rescue babies, Phantom (previously Moonlight) and Ripley

Half the litter lost
to who knows where -

It makes me wonder
why the runt is so #wary.

I'll respect his needs
and let him hold himself
until he's ready.

Nature can be so cruel.

#emoetry #wariness #prompt #poetry #poem #cats #rescue #stray

you don't need an #amulet
just a modicum of #wariness
to ward off the scariness
and the contrariness
the ghosters and gaslighters
that aren't just seasonal hairiness

A black and white, close-up photo of the waxing gibbous Moon on 1 Oct 2025. More than half of the lunar surface is visible. One can see the sharp edges and details of craters and mountain ranges. The visible Moon is set against a deep, pure black void.

Shadow holds the eye
Wary light breaks at the edge
Ever watching, scarred

She casts a wary eye
out on a world
all foreboding
Hidden behind
a fence that
gives her some
kind sanctuary
Not ready to step out
into a realm
of uncertainty
she takes in
a deep breath
#emoetry #wariness

wariness frosts me
chilling my bloodstream until
all that's left is ice.

This system, it bleeds us
We are drained. We are weak.
Do they even see us?
With tunneled vision, for all they seek
Power. Egregious.
All #wariness is justified.
When their hands claim to feed us
We'll bite down hard. So, open wide.

Life changing event.. maybe It's October Third Do you know what that means? Me neither, but I feel like I should. There is a click in its rhythm that Makes me think I needed to know October Third It makes me nervous to not remember if I forgot or not. You don't remember anything? No bells rung? I can't remember why I don't know about October Third. I was hoping it had to do with you But here we are, except for you, that is I am sure it will come to me.

Forgive me
if my #wariness
colors my views.

It was beaten
into my bones,
whispered
into my soul.

So many threads
to unravel.
Will a hundred
hundred years
even be enough?

Close my eyes,
leap, and hope.

#emoetry #prompt #wariness #poem #poetry #hope

already been hurt
#wariness of kind words
just prove it to me

#emoetry #senryu #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

After all this time
The wariness persists
Is it scary? Yes, but
I can live like this
I can give like this
No need to resist
Trust isn’t needed
I read too much into this
I can let go and accept
Maybe for me
It doesn’t need to exist

If you could choose
To live any life at all,
Why keep choosing
#wariness and strife?
As long as you choose
To keep waking up
In the world of struggle,
Guess where you’ll always be?

#emoetry

I am #Wariness
I am for some less
I am for others a project
I am a thing to inspect

Medicate the nuts and bolts
Lubricate the aging joints
Realize the hidden folds
Wariness lives in the paints

Nothing wrong with some
Wariness going forward,
Still a leap of faith.

First light over the silhouette of a dark farm. The sky is orange & yellow with dark blue above. There is a telephone pole in the picture too

I’m both mystified & comforted
by the October night’s #eyeofdesire
The raspy chill, the croaks of soon
to be hibernating bullfrogs,
the purr of crickets with a #wariness
of how fragile earth makes itself
to those who abuse its beauty
while there are not enough
of those who attempt to harness

Senses awakened.
Caution needed. Then advance.
What waits in the lair?

#emoetry #wariness #haiku

I see the #wariness—
you fear those dark arts
in which I #dabble,
scared for your heart
that I may #tangle it
in the smokey tendrils
of my sensual spells.
Yet no need to #cow down,
for I am no less disarmed
by your own dark charms—
entangled together in the
ether of desire.

#emoetry #wildwalkprompt

Please,
Forgive my standoffishness
My aversion to eye contact
And the wariness cascading
Off me in droplets of ink

You see,
I simply cannot just let you in
I am a book too easily-read
My pages, stained and torn
From flagrant misuse
