She is the founder of her own misfortune. She gives it air to breathe and feeds it doubts. But she also nurtures hope, takes it for long walks and whispers secrets to it. They walk together and balance along edges. Companions that decided long ago to stay together. #vssdaily founder #vss365 air

I circle your light, a moth drawn to borrowed warmth, wings ache, still I stay. #haiku #poetry #moth

Flour, sugar, butter, salt list checked twice so I’m not at fault Scissors, paper, tape packages gathered that just have to wait Gloves, hat, scarf, boots things that bring the season’s fruits Lights, stockings, tree time given now for friends beyond me #poetry #poem #christmas #holiday

The delay A taut string pulled Between two hands Snapped by the inhale Inside the release Nothing left but the aftershock A tremor in the bone #ও☉❢☉✑ #poetry #writing #micropoetry #blueskywriters #writingcommunity

I can see my breath, But the word I spoke is gone, Vanished in cold air. #dailyhaikuprompt breath

“Dobrý deň,” whispered, Slovak farmer’s good morning, daughter remembers. #haiku #poem #poetry #poet #writingcommunity

Love still threads its way through the noise, quiet but unbroken, insisting on being felt. Even as the world fractures, it softens what it can. We hold one another in the storm, a single touch becoming fiercely relevant. And somehow, that small tenderness keeps us human. #vss365 #poetry #relevant

“Two small saplings: rooted, sprouted, reaching. Their spindly branches search for the sky, the sun, and each other. They twist their limbs, intertwining in a spiral that strengthens and stabilizes them both to thin trunks’ core.” #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #nature

october night the full moon a blossom forgetting to wilt #haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt

Seasons change and I feel myself fall with the auburn autumn leaves. Keep my bare branches sturdy and strong through the crisping cracking winter wind. May the sap of my spirit flow warmly beneath the bark of my winter’s rest, and bring forth green growth in spring’s return. #poem #poetry #autumn

When my sister cries, her fingertips search for answers. I haven’t the heart to tell her that the corduroy ridges on my knee or the seams on the shoulder of my dress couldn’t begin to address her questions. When we hold each other, let us cry without the answers and be at peace with the mysteries.

I remember your #berry stained lips As you handed me some too The innocence of you The innocence of me A #kindness true When our legs Were little And smiles Bigger A little Too Long Ago #emoetry #whistpr #poetrylovers

And when the world beyond your family becomes too heavy to bare bring your family into the hurting world. Hold hands tightly and let your love be seen by all. Make new family by those willing to take your hands. And when your family then reaches beyond the world, be home and love the change.

the soft parts exposed my vulnerability becomes my true strength #senryū #haiku #micropoem #strength #vulnerability

Meet me at the edge of the garden. Tell no one you’re leaving. I will know when you’ve arrived. I will scale the brambled briared hedge, if you don’t mind the thorned scratches down my forearm. If I leap from the edge of the garden, do you think they’d notice our absence by morning?

Any words for this drawing? A poem?

My jade in the windowsill need not worry about the next rainfall. Instead she presses her face against the cool glass panes, watching the sidewalk battles of the thirsty, wild plants below. (1/2) #poetry #poem

Steady my feet as I climb the rocky bluffs towards the Great Pacific. As her waves crash and churn against the pebbled, bouldered beaches; swell up in me a current of gratitude for my life beyond the shore. May it carry me through the forest, down the winding trail, and safely to my Indiana home.

In a world flooded with words that tear and snap, let love flow from your throat, spill over your tongue, hug your teeth, and pour past your lips. May the air around you be so saturated with the dew of your loving phrase that to be in your presence is to swim. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity

I just introduced my 17 yo daughter to this much-loved poem. If you beat yourself up mentally though you don’t hurt others, if your brain is different so your thoughts are loud and tangled, if you’re conscientious but still very strict with yourself, then it’s also for you:
