A ––––– saved is a ––––– earned I've been trying to spend my happiness wisely, as though it is a finite resource: burn it all in one lavish year and I'll be broke, bartering with misery to earn one more #moment #vss365

I heard your voice in the night #chorus and sent myself out to meet you sliding on the wet grass and trembling in the throat of a tree frog, joining a song as old as the moon #blueskyrelay

Once a prominent ornithologist, the #vagaries of life, casual cruelties that could happen to anyone yet seemed to target her, specifically, left her fearful. She searched her birds for omens, read ruddy feathers and assigned meaning to flight paths—sense-making for a world seen in wingbeats. #vss365

woke up in another world: #starscape full, just fairy lights, hanging twinkles, no whispers, no one home #vss365

I thought I saw an Iranian sleeper cell in masks, camo and assault rifles kidnap people from a job site and thrown them into a van, then I realized it was ICE.

Your daily horoscope: Today you will feel like a piano - large, complicated, and under high tension.

#Cosmology experiment Take a picture of the stars & put it in a frame Keep it on the wall for three years Take another picture of the stars & put it in a neighboring frame Pour a round of drinks and listen to them tell stories until the sun comes up #blueskyrelay

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

On a summer evenings the words drift by like sailboats on the East River; once they belonged to someone else, now some belong to me, and some have floated to sun-warmed #liminal space belonging only to themselves, birds winging over our heads on whisper-quiet feathers #vss365

I am Tuesday on your Friday, Thursday on your Sunday, September in your December, April in your July Moving through your life in #parallel But always a little behind #vss365

Good morning #PoemsAbout! A little piece about a place in a constant state of #transition. Looking forward to reading everyone's poens!

We adapted quickly when the #vortex appeared in the East River. A swarm of TikTokers competed to toss the most interesting items into the maelstrom. Perhaps whatever otherwordly being opened the portal didn't like being showered with colorful trash, for the churning stopped within a week. #vss365

I trace your scars with curious fingers hurts inscribed in soft-body may as well be #hieroglyphs I cannot read them without you #blueskyrelay

The heat makes people and animals lose their minds. Flesh-eating bacteria waits in warm, stagnant water. Things melt. Sharks hunt at the beach. The kudzu is always hiding something. The blistering sun wakes up the ghosts sleeping in the walls. Remember: summer is horror season.

How much destruction & chaos can he cause in under 6 months?

Meet me in the #astral plane, you said, but you never showed So I'll skip stars in cosmic wind and listen to the black holes sing and wait for you to come the long way round #blueskyrelay

“What about interviewing the victims of fascism?” “But the fash girls seem mysterious” “Folks are losing their rights” “But they’re flatironing their hair and hating abortion” “They’re getting ethnically cleansed” “But they’re like, girlbossing about being chained to the kitchen”

The sun moonlights as alchemist Silver-curls cresting breaking shattering foam where meeting our #realm #vss365

Automated moonlight dapples the dark sea, beneath its white beam. A brush of light, sweeping across the windowpane. Retired lighthouse keeper - counting the pips, after 'Sailing By.' #blueskyrelay prompt: lighthouse #linkedverse #haiku #shippingforcast #mantovani

#lighthouse constant rooted burning tide turned pull came beam vanished cliffs darkened adrift unscathed unsaved unseen #blueskyrelay #poetry

The #lighthouse keepers climbed a hundred borrowed steps each evening tendered the beacon weathered- hands steady, upon icee rails. As fog rolled in, ghastly of tomorrow’s frosty preview ships ritual passerby guided by our light- As we; visioned safe arrival. #BlueSkyRelay #PoetryPrompt #lighthouse

I love you like a #lighthouse keeper watching over the ships at night but instead I am watching over your heart #BlueSkyRelay

awake till night — the lullaby's susurrus in the wind chime #blueskyrelay #awake #DailyHaikuPrompt #windchime #vss365 #susurrus #Haiku #micropoetry

If ever there was a #lighthouse of my life it was you, always you- even when you had to abandon post, you left the light on, so in my darkest storms I found my way back to shore. #blueskyrelay #poetry #micropoem

Sleeping for so long To be awake Rejuvenates But oh, the waking hurts To see all things That brought my sleep And left things dead That longed for life They rise now Wiping tears And tenderly, They sigh Glad To be alive #blueskyrelay #poetry
