I haven't done one of these in while...it is what it is.

sidewalk runway, cloak of grief

daily #haikufeels prompt: grip

a side of xanax
with bacon and eggs softens
morning's sharpest edge

(I generally just go with whatever comes up first when I do these poem; creativity in its rawest form is worth pondering. And let's be real. Sometimes a xanax is the best meal of the day.)

gentle stream moves me
body afloat swaddled soul
clarity in flow

#haikufeels prompt: propel

shedding crispy leaves
fall cleanses its spent palette
welcomes spring splendor

#haikufeels prompt: cost

words like talons grip
my heart piercing soft dreams as
future drips away

#haikufeels daily prompt: point

hop along the sill
to the edge, peering over
take a breath, leap, fly

#haikufeels
prompt: try

I see you see me
glaringly invisible
ghostly obvious

I’m on Bluesky! Like most things social, I have no idea what to do now that I’m there, and I don’t really feel like talking to anyone. I’ll just be the one standing in the corner, petting the dogs, reading your posts, and trying not to spill my tea while I silently scream into the void.
