#TopTweetTuesday #poetrycommunity This week’s challenge on @TopTweetTuesday is Imagist, free verse poem on : Love, hate, apathy, ennui. I am using a free tool I built for journaling ~ if you like to give it a go: storiesandstanza.com/tools/journa...
#journaling #SelfCareMatters I have built a simple journaling tool on my website - for anyone who might want to use it. It has a few prompts - but I will enrich the prompt library slowly. The idea is write what you want - and by default it will be discarded.
There was once an app where people could write open #letters. I built one on my #podcast website for Stories and Stanza give it a go, tell me what you think. storiesandstanza.com/tools/letter...

Sharing a short #spokenword poem for #poetrywritingmonth. Thank you. #vss365 #FoxProse
I wanted to share a little heart-to-heart for anyone who writes. ‘Stories and Stanza’ began from my love of words and the quiet joy of connecting with kindred spirits. I recently spoke with Jo Worsfold a writer, healer and channel from Tasmania. #writing #writingcommunity #podcast

Woke up to this message today ~ 🎬✨ I can't almost believe it happened – but thank you all who have supported me on this journey. Here's to more conversations that matter, more stories that heal, and more connections that remind us we're not alone in this journey. With gratitude, Abhra 🌟
It is interesting how different short poems, when stitched together, become joined by an invisible thread of interconnectedness. This reflects the times we're living through - as poets we often seek refuge to escape the harsh realities as our ability to see things becomes both our gift and burden.
Hazy Shades of Umber Dawn
Poems on love, trauma, and the search for peace

Crystalline verses pen the magic of life, defined melancholy yields #bountiful harvest of solace. From cosmic highways your light may wane yet love cascades, and covenant whispers— “The stars are lovely, and so are you.”
#Bountiful & wise This bubbling chaos in me inside I tell myself daily A little bit of paradise Living in my mind rent free Don’t tell me it’s a lie, give it up I won’t I can’t it’s the maketh of me Unique eccentric whatever It gives me wings like Redbull can’t #vss365 #poetry #poem

#vss365 Night speaketh rainbow dreams stars tottered, because you were wine, and I was watered down— Proximity burn of cold moon and cataract craters beauty numbed is serenity gifted.
Life's splendor meets past's shadow halfway at an inflection point— survival instincts galore, I groan. Believe I might fuck around and forgive myself— but ancestral trauma is my site fidelity, and my hastened rush for freedom is just a cry for help. ✍🏼 #blueskypoetry
Can I paint colours onto your sky, without you asking me why?
Deep within that sunless cave, the world was only half sketched. A murky green light shone from the rocks casting ominous shadows, and the persistent drip-drip was like an ancient water clock. The #cataracts of time slowing, as history played out on this penumbral stage. #vss365
Hello #vss365 -ers! I will be your host from March 1 through March 15. Prompts will be posted at 3:30 am, GMT. I look forward to seeing what you have! Thank you to @DanielleSteJust for the wonderful words ending February!
