I swear I am still #writing #poetry... just taking awhile to get to the editing portion of my process. One of these is meant for #poemsabout and last week's #poetsofdoom. The other may be a missing page of "Wifi Coffin". Anyway, I'll quote post here when I actually get to my laptop to type. Hugs! 😅🤗

Mildly less of a mess poem scratched on my scetchbook. Full typed version coming soon

My mashup: dansa-tanka A regular tanka followed by a 4-line tanka that follows the rhyme scheme of a dansa. AbbaA bbaA 57577 5757 #PoetsOfDoom #poetry @sonnetsmith.bsky.social @phylogeneticsteve.bsky.social @jenthorne.bsky.social @daveashleypoet.bsky.social

trust is fragile
it can dissipate like smoke
some think it's a joke
some think it keeps them shackled
trust is fragile
broken, bear's poked
a fight you had to provoke
old, tired battle
trust is fragile

(There's an image of smoke along the right-have side of the poem)

My First Entry for #AmpersandAfterDark and #PoetsOfDoom A haiku tritina is quite a challenge but I think I did it justice. A poem on how I lost old things, old songs, that once ignited me. #vss365 #BlueSkyPoets #vssdaily #Inkmine #prompt #writingprompt #5amwritersclub #poetrycommunity

Tritina: Things Kept In My Drawer

Esoteric songs
Left inside my old drawer
Hidden with silence.

Hid them with silence,
So warm, I knew, these old songs
Tucked in the drawer.

Shoved deep in the drawer
My tears rendered their silence,
Matches and old songs

These old songs, old matches, wet with old tears, I believe I hid in my drawer, after I chose silence.

I am appropriating the #BSPP54 of #StaticBelief for my final #PoetsOfDoom homage to Dorothy Parker before I hand over to @daveashleypoet.bsky.social #BlueSkyPoetry @sonnetsmith.bsky.social @phylogeneticsteve.bsky.social

Static Belief

Of course your views are valid,
and exceptionally well-formed.
I've watched you scrolling Facebook, dear;
no wonder you've been swarmed
by experts in catastrophe,
by prophets newly born,
explaining how the world went wrong
and how we must reform.

Can I offer a different thought
a fact or two, perhaps?
I know, I know: I read too much,
and fall into “expert” traps.
I find evidence helps when society
is facing imminent collapse.

But yes, your stance is ironclad.
Don’t change it, heavens, no.
Why let a reasoned argument
disturb your righteous glow?
I'll not waste breath, a brick wall has
more give than you, you know.

@sonnetsmith.bsky.social so instead of a #haibun I've created a #limbun. A prose/limerick combo for #PoetsOfDoom. @janpsolivagant.bsky.social this is also my contribution to #PromptCombo #The90s **Nomads was a brand of hippy clothing I was fond of in the 90s. #Poetry

Nomads

Mom used to curse my gypsy blood when I took off. She always gave me a roll of coins so I would call. Once a week and she wouldn't panic, although some calls caused that anyway. But mostly they were to relate the weirdness that was my life - well the bits I could tell her at least.

A girl who escaped from the Black
Lived her life off the beaten track.
As a wild, reckless fool,
Nomadic life was so cool.
Until she was forced to go back!

Hi all, For this week's #PoetsOfDoom I'll keep it simple since I'm still exhausted. Your prompt this week is #Crowds, as in the power of a crowd to do something good, or collective faith in doing good, just like the images below. As for the form, write a dansa or two. Have fun! I'll sleep now.

A livestream image taken from the Fluvial Procession of the Feast Of Peñafrancia.

The image shows a massive crowd trying to pull the andas (the silver dome carrying a statue of Peñafrancia, the sacred image of the Blessed Virgin Mary) through this sea of people.

A view of the Bicol River alongside the Riverside areas of Naga, with crowds waiting for the arrival of the pagoda with Our Lady of Peñafrancia on it.

I'm reposting this poem for #SomethingEveryday #Pirate which apparently also works for #PoetsOfDoom #prompt although I can't remember exactly what form @daveashleypoet.bsky.social specified that I dubbed "Ashlean" 😆 @sonnetsmith.bsky.social I still hope to plunder some prose...

A.C.Juniper @acjuniper.bsky.social

OK, @daveashleypoet.bsky.social this one's for you! #sonnet #Lentini #Ashlean #combo
