Uncle Dang, what’d the king do to royal barber who cudnt keep a secret n sang to a tree, “da king has horns, wi ma eyes I’ve seen”, n when da tree fell in a flood, a dhol made from it drummed da song in da court? Da king pardoned him. No! Why? So people’d know dat ppl wid horns can be kind. #Oulens

half moon casts away my shadow between the pines #HaikuSaturday #haiku #amwriting

Round the merry-go-round goes Trying to decide where the lines Get drawn Nature oft needs nurture To add a certain flavour Some sure, some flex and circle Start over To nurture inclines to bend Encompass the other's importance Thus here and there I'll share a toast Tho inclined to be sober #vss365

preparing for the apocalypse ... acorn recipes #versionshaikusaturday

Back to the dismal busywork of dreaming.

renounce the thieves of vice and greed who'll suck the blood out of the stone who strip the poor the sick the forlorn the marrow from out the bone #vss365 #renounce #poetry

Don’t show me your face, it’s too intimate a note to weave. Don’t pause in front of my eyes while your breath remembers the imperfections of my craving skin. Stand in the shadows, far from the faintest of light— spare me the #conflict of loving you. #vss365 📷 Pixabay

what night echoes tied lace tide pace what morning brings sunrise in cloud belly treetops stolen into feeling you've never hungered for anything as much as you hunger for you wisdom nearer clearer what a soul does when recognizing itself in Love the heart hungry a womb with a view #vss365

November, you moronic nincompoopsie Mumpsimusian bamboozling gongoozler—whaaat!—already? September’s still clodhopp-er-ring—mopingly, moppingly—unwilling to #renounce the tree of anarchy, for heaven’s sake! “What?!” “Exactaccatatut-struttut-a-um-uh-oh-actly! That’s. what.” #vss365 #Oulens

…so that they’d learn later, regretfully much later, why it was important to hurt and to hurt each other…when they’d finally shed all that they #nurture -d & wore…or bore, but regretfully again, bare before none but themselves. Of a lightness. Minus lightning. #Reckon -ing. Barely. #vss365 #Oulens

No dignity ? No point In keeping up With a effirgy Burning Through My love, And All its Energy Stormy I see, Let them Blow through All their Words from The chisel chins Of Pointless statues Of dignity and effirgy. #vss365 #stormy

#vss365 … and so it uncoiled fully: “A mere look” to knock him on his ass, not with a touch but in a revelation, and her glint had become the far-flung passion, the “someone” unnamed by the chaos who’s already dawning and drowning. It’s the apocalypse’s gift #passion

under the ice a branch continues its autumn #haiku #poetry

said there’s a bell around my neck. You were moving, so I was moving, so I believed you. Dandelion a clock, a silk a clock silk moving between my fingers my fingers moving, like heck.

Had a dream, the window glass had all come loose. It was cold and I was tired, and it was windy, and it was not my window, but I slipped back all the panes and I hoped that they would hold.

The silence of space Is supposed to be complete So what is that sound? #ScifaikuSaturday

My latest album is out today. So Long. I intended a longer title from the Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; it seemed safer to go for a common phrase instead. 12 tracks. 7 singles. 2 instrumentals Tks to everyone who made this possible & to whoever listens. #indiemusic music.apple.com/us/album/so-...

A little stumped by today's #PoemsAbout prompt #DeadLetters so here's quite an old poem which I think works. Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk for the challenge. Will read and respond to other offerings later

#PoemsAbout #DeadLetters @thebrokenspine.co.uk It helps to know Bu Shi is a muse/alter ego I created in the early 2010s to post haiku/senryu, it also helps to know they don’t use the lettters L and T, but the poem uses all of the other letters. Our pseudo relationship is sometimes contentious.
