His antics #personified #struggle —between—cereal soggy & wafers crackle-cackling— #rebel shoelaces-in-knots & #dusty confetti chasing runaway thoughts to #Saturn. Often he’d head for a haircut when his toenails needed clipped…& lucky his hairstylist was a kind ole dame. #vss365 #2WordPrompt #Oulens

@emteepoetry.bsky.social My #PromptCombo #Personified entry. This is the Personification of Death in Pandea (the world where all my cryptid creations are from) #poetry #amwriting #fantasy #death

The bards have passed its ancient name
From tongue to tongue across the years
The myth, the legend that became
The source of all our greatest fears
Whenever Grief would raise its head,
Or Sadness come to visit us
They rode, or so the stories said,
Upon the back of Mortivus.
Its face, a bleached and withered corpse,
Which wore its mane as matted cloak
The guise it chose, a spectral horse,
That rhymed with every line it spoke.
Four legs cut off before the hooves
On which it gallops through thin air,
The end of life is its to choose
If death calls, Mortivus is there.
One sight that always sparks alarm,
Its visage marks the end of days.
Beneath its scythe like centaur arms
Mortality will have its prey.

I meant to get this to 14 lines of #blankverse. Call it a #wip? My youngest has taken lately to picking some of mommy's books of #poetry on the shelf to read for bedtime. Something about Ed Zahniser's "Confidence of Being" made him so happy. #personified #promptcombo

A review I should never give a friend
for his book of poetry without a
sincere explanation of total facts:
I read it to my son, and he loved it...
He called them each “yawns”, fell asleep halfway
through the book, pages sweet lullaby lilt...
but he loved how each yawned. Five of five stars.

For #promptcombo #personified some #poetry about pebbles Thanks to @emteepoetry.bsky.social for hosting and the inspiring prompt #poetrycommunity

speaking stones

pebbles — some rough
some smooth and polished
they talk to me while I'm sleeping
enrich my dreams with stony
visions

every single one hand-picked
on various travels — some even
originated from volcanos
their stories intertwine with
subconsciousness' weaving

never weighing me down
instead their presence allows
me to soar — light as a feather
as thoughts sprout lithic wings
I breathe in midnight

Here’s an older one from the perspective of Oscar Wilde’s pen #promptcombo #Personified @emteepoetry.bsky.social

Oscar's Pen
I knew him by the quickness of his hand, laughter outrunning ink,
lines turning
before they were thought. He held me lightly then,
as if we conspired. Now I am taken up
with care, turned in the light, as though I might confess
what has left him.
I answer as ever, darkly, without hesitation,
but he no longer risks me. No sudden wit, no reckless turn, only words that arrive
already judged. Once, he trusted what we might become,
a flourish, a wound, a delight. Now he sets me down
before the ink can betray him.
