I enjoy your poems you know the ones accompanied by a photo or artwork that stimulate more than the mind but I don’t take pictures and I sure can’t draw unless you count stick figures and those won’t stimulate imagination now would they #poetry #micropoetry #prompt
writing words without meaning without purpose writing poems unread should have been time well-spent but like you now gone forever #poetry #micropoetry

now how long must we endure this charade … you’re not poete maudit and never will be because your sadness is dubious #poetry #micropoetry
abandoned sorrow an elongated moment just waiting to heal #poetry #micropoetry #WildWalkPrompt #haikufeels #senryu
you don’t need to tell me how the cow chewed cabbage I’m too old for tests and too supercilious to swoon over your nonsense #poetry #micropoetry #tanka #WildWalkPrompt #vss365 #haikufeels
I was stuck on the wrong day when you found me whimpering and offered the solace you could not afford for yourself you’d think I’d at least be grateful but I was alone there for a reason #poetry #micropoetry #FromOneLine #prompt
those lesser gods they don’t want you to know anything about them hiding behind thin biographies and even thinner reasons to be so puzzling as if that would make them more appealing more understandable and less concerned about their desires #poem #poetry #micropoetry #prompt #blueskypoets
I want to confess but can’t abide to confide lest you tell me yours #poetry #micropoetry #haikufeels #prompt
the heat of the sand has her dancing dervishly where are those sandals #poetry #micropoetry #inkMine #prompt
confess they said it will make you feel better so I did … and it didn’t #poetry #micropoetry #haikufeels #prompt #confess
it was a privilege to be at the beginning again near the end was it midday or night when the shade dissolved into now #poetry #micropoetry #tanka #WildWalkPrompt #shade

you see the problem with the way truth gets mangled ripening chasm #poetry #micropoetry #senryu #WildWalkPrompt #riipening
like athletes stretching to the sky before the game sunflowers exhale #poetry #micropoetry #haiku #haikufeels #prompt
you dip in and out without any consequence as if you’re immune #poetry #micropoetry #senryu #haikufeels #prompt
luscious dreams abound across that sun-sered concrete imagination taxed #poetry #micropoetry #senryu #WildWalkPrompt #prompt
ensconced in reruns yesteryear ousts yesterday to replace today #poetry #micropoetry #haiku #haikufeels #prompt
pilfered you say nothing’s missing as you survey the damage remaining ever so confident in your assessment but ruefully overlook the fact that my heart is nowhere to be found #poetry #micropoetry #firewords #prompt
in passing it would be comforting to think there’s some design some method to the madness percolating but your facts continue to prove whatever you desire #poetry #micropoetry #cassiopeian #prompt
mourning now for days these tears need some time to dry the season has turned #poetry #micropoetry #haiku
