Work in progress. Possibilities: writer, artist, butterfly collector, baby moose rehabilitator. Definitely not: racist, bigot, corporate lawyer, oil lobbyist.
Some little piggies Go to market Some get to stay home Mine go to prison In these waiting shoes #BSPP56 #waitingshoes #poetry
Secrets spilled like milk Across the kitchen floor It’s not worth crying over When they’re easily ignored No apron strings here, it Stayed folded in the drawer Just shut up and eat Your Fig Newtons #wildwalkprompt #fig #BSPP56 #foldedapron #poetry #clusterfrumpt
Reality trembles the cracks Reassembled before my eyes I try to remember a time a Place felt solid, complete… Annihilation, my face I see My mind drift to my fingers a Scratch remembers I reach Forward and peel the sky #wildwalkprompt #peeling #poetry #prompt #vssdaily #acid #writingcommunity
Hello Wild Walk #writers Paper bark peeling, Revealing rhubarb green trunk Beneath red facade. Your word today is #Peeling Use the image/word to inspire your writing. #WildWalkPrompt #prompt #writesky #blueskypoets #writingprompt #nature #5amwritersclub
Tears cannot quench The pain of peeling Away the layers One by one, revealing The lies beneath To feel the burning Acidity of truth In feeling ashamed #vss365 #ashamed #vssdaily #acid #wildwalkprompt #peeling #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity
A portend of the future This augury eclipse The shadows take hold For those seconds split Bold enough to change The claims of a prophet As sinful thoughts, words Race across our lips #wildwalkprompt #eclipse #writingcommunity #poetry
Hello Wild Walk #writers Sun submits to dark, Face disguised by unseen moon Still shines beneath mask. Your word today is #Eclipse Use the image/word to inspire your writing. #WildWalkPrompt #prompt #writesky #blueskypoets #writingprompt #nature #5amwritersclub
The lesson in kindergarten “Right is hand you write with” So I’ve always been wrong Every turn is second guessed -I still can’t take direction Or write a clean manuscript -Both ink and lead smudged I learned I’ll never be righteous #somethingeveryday #writingcommunity #poetry
Apparently today is International #left-handed day! Anyone fancy writing some poetry or prose, or sharing some artwork on the theme of left-handedness? #SomethingEveryday (I feel like this should become a prompt... But I can't really give it the time it deserves...) #writingprompt #prompt #dayof
Decided to give oil pastels another try. For someone who thinks about sea life this much, I sure haven’t drawn enough of it. “Abyssal Accountants” in oil pastels #oilpastels #sharks #originalart #traditionalart #traditionalartist #pastels
I can’t find a spoon In my utensil drawer I suspect they are On my son’s floor He eats cereal in bed Of this I am sure But when I tell him I can only find #forks He says “wizards have Absconded the silverware” So flat, matter of fact Like it is known lore Stunned into silence I say no more #vssdaily
It’s a bit longer than usual but my disdain could not be summarized. #vss365 #cling #writingcommunity #poetry

From that time I was in a rock group.
Post a you from a different era in your life
The flames hold the hills Gentle, still the sun has Gone with your touch, the Feel almost real for the Moment, quiet I let it be in A breath, yours becomes Mine, the Sun may not shine But the flames hold the hills #SenseWrds 254 #poetry #prompt #writingcommunity
Thoughts written in inks Now pinks faded from blood That flooded the pages Of a history now hidden Behind a paywall of naivety By the complacency of evil And the devil of illiteracy #vss365 #evil #cassiopeian #inks #writingcommunity #poetry
Malformed in adolescence By an affluent putrescence My terrapins transformed Into something more Terrifying in appearance They gained omniscience More anthropomorphic Learning to strike, to kick And now I am frightened #wildwalkprompt #terrapin
Hello Wild Walk #writers Twin terrapins lie Soaking sun at water's edge, Before cooling swim. Your word today is #Terrapin Use the image/word to inspire your writing. #WildWalkPrompt #prompt #writesky #blueskypoets #writingprompt #nature #5amwritersclub
I can see them Feel them Crawling, burrowing Beneath my skin The beetles eat Me from within Down to the marrow My bones pretend Not to know #vssdaily #beetle #poetry #writingcommunity
I find myself becoming Evolving, into something new Now wider than I was before Squat, and closer to the floor Skin hardening to carapace Swollen hands clamping up The carcinization has began And all roads lead to crab #wildwalkprompt #crab #poetry
Hello Wild Walk #writers Crab leaves mark on sand, Abandoned shell boldly claims Crustacean waz ere! Your word today is #Crab Use the image/word to inspire your writing. #WildWalkPrompt #prompt #writesky #blueskypoets #writingprompt #nature #5amwritersclub
It’s hard to swallow This capsule of history We’re not allowed water To aid its delivery Just take a daily dose Of this filtered misery And pretend it’s a cure #vssdaily #capsule #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity
A piece of old chewed gum Too flavorless for the ants Warmed by the heat of the sun So it will still stick to your soul The memories once numbed Of the sidewalk conversations Between a pastel chalk sun And the tick of a jump rope #BSPP56 #sidewalkconversation #blueskypoetry #writingcommunity
#vss365 #sprout #poetry #blueskypoet Maybe a little clunky at the end there, but passable. Simple rhyme scheme, and a touch of fun hopelessness. Staying on brand is important! 😁 Here is a #poem...
