write nonsense to end my writer's block... rotten fruits #InkMine #nonsense #vss365 #fruit #Senryu #micropoem #micropoetry

to my honor a portrait of me on the wall in the run-down bar #thingstowriteabout #portrait #InkMine #bar #Senryu #micropoem #micropoetry

up early — yesterday's nonsense still in mind #HaikuChallenge #yesterday #InkMine #nonsense #Senryu #micropoem #micropoetry

horrible things around each corner... approaching carefully #senryu

marigolds marigolds— crispness of apple strudel #senryu

coolness of ripe green plums... another workday #senryu

unhindered bloodlines July merges into heated August #senryu

often thinking when i will die— brewing coffee #senryu

(revision) feeling abandoned my hands can't hold these slippery years #senryu

telling my truth in senryu ... rising summer heat #senryu

ripened peaches there are still things i withhold from myself #senryu

near the water something i retrived has turned on me #senryu

So grim, so grave, a Slim chance for us to be saved, The clock is ticking. #emoetry #grim #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social

Cityscape midday Chorus, reversing beeping, Jackhammers in sync. #firewords280 #MiddayChorus #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @artinwords.bsky.social

autumn between two rains

golden feather has arrived at the ground; years come and go #InkMine #golden #thingstowriteabout #feather #vss365 #arrive #BraveWrite #years #Haiku #HaikuSaturday #micropoetry #micropoem

new coolness — a grasshopper gets lost into my bedroom #DailyHaikuPrompt #grasshopper #Haiku #HaikuSaturday #micropoetry #micropoem

Briefly, streets transform, Glistening golden rivers, Sunshine after storms. #inkMine #golden #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @inkmine.bsky.social

earnestly waiting for a cold front— baguettes bought late #senryu

finally home— tempted by the whiteness of sugar #senryu

thumbing through a book, bedtime calls me softly #senryu

with his death comes the smell of August—another drought #senryu

stepping outside—how to avoid these damn mosquitos #senryu

on the porch smoking a joint alone with these thoughts #senryu

waves tower along the coast a road snakes towards the horizon an overcast sky #TankaThursday #tower #HaikuChallenge #wave #vss365 #coast #DailyHaikuPrompt #overcast #Tanka #micropoetry #micropoem

romantic — the lambent red lights of a cathouse #InkMine #romantic #Senryu #micropoetry #micropoem
