As the days grow short,
And darkness draws near,
Orange you glad
I'm with you, my dear?

This poem by @imnotherenow.bsky.social contrasts two very different styles of relating to God.

I love it because I deeply relate to both.

My responsive poem is meant to reflect that. With that in mind, please read the words "you" and "your" as plural, referring to both people in the original poem.

I would like to #LiftToTheSky @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social, because through her:
• expressive poetry,
• evocative emoetry prompts,
• continual community encouragement,
she generously shares her vibrancy.

So I would like to lift her to the sky.

But that’s hard to do for someone who is already there.

#vss365 #unseen

To all the poets on Bluesky: you have been, and are, my family in this season of my life, and I appreciate you so very much.

Poets,
also known as
Priests or
Prophets,
Reveal what things mean;
they
Inspire
the most important parts of
life,
which are
Unseen
Welcome, lovely writers 🌍🌎🌏

Never feel invisible.
There is always somebody who appreciates your art - even if you don't know it.

The word for Oct 23rd :

UNSEEN

#emoetry #offended

To the one
whose trust I betrayed,
love’s law I offended;
I tore you asunder,
your world, upended.
A part of you died,
and that,
I can’t repay.

But.

Let us
keep living,
and loving
anyway.

All my love
for your poetry
and this is what I get??!
This is how you repay me?
With..
Oh wait...
More poetry.

Ok,
no sweat.
😉
I’m so offended
you don’t like my poetry,
offended enough
to not write this line
or this next line
or
annoy
you
with
a
line
like
this,
I might be the most
offended ever and maybe
I’ll just stop writing poetry
because you didn’t like it

nope. just kidding

Yes,
At times,
I'm needy
Without shame.
Vulnerability
Should NOT
Hold blame.
So meet my needs
Only
If you can,
But don't
Pretend
You're the better man.

Holy Hera, You Are Inspiring!

The world says it wants everyone to be more intelligent, dedicated, and compassionate.

But they can't even recognize it when you are, let alone know how to fucking handle you.

Disordered?
Ha!

His first car

Found, financed and fixed up
By himself

He stood,
Invincible,
As only a
Proud 16 year old
Can be.

Now,
The girl
Who saw his salvaged old VW Beetle as
Sexy
Was the One for him.

Watch out afresh for TheDevilsTuna!

Despite being an ugly fish
Piranhas make a tasty dish
Though well known for their snappy fight
They still get bitten more than they bite

; the funeral pyre ablaze;

she sang her own mournful dirge;

her voice a haunting echo -

an ethereal silhouette

illuminated by flames

as she rose from the ashes.

#vss365 #raincoat

Far from home,
in a tropical monsoon land,
I was still confident I knew what I was doing

But it turned out,
it was only myself
that I was fooling

Soaking wet
in my useless raincoat,
I must have looked quite odd

They were right,
an umbrell’s better
for a water-fight with God

You could call me a kind of libertine –
Social rules are, for me, unseen
But I cause hurts that I didn’t mean
Then mourn for what might-have-been

Moorhen, Moorhen,
don’t let your Royal Navy status
make you a snoot
Moorhen, Moorhen,
you’re still cousin to the old
American Coot

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single coot out on the local pond today, so my photo is only signage.
