beyond hedge
moon in a blue sky
we endure

#DailyHaikuPrompt #haiku #senryu #poetry
Photo of a hedge in the foreground, with some green and some yellow leaves. Beyond the hedge we can see a woodland a bit beyond, bronzed by autumn colour. Above this is a nearly clear blue sky, save for the nearly full moon peeking over the top of the woodland, just right of top centre.

The postman just delivered my contributor's copy of The Storms Issue 5 & it is GORGEOUS! @eatthestorms.com & @rhonagreene.bsky.social, you've outdone yourselves!

And, additional thanks to @dublincityoflit.bsky.social & #FingalArts!

Photo of the issue on a wooden table, with the yellow bit of a bookmark peeking over the top. The cover has 'The Storms' in a White bold font, with 'Issue V' in smaller dark purple bold font. The image is of a face in profile, appearing as part of a tree where the trunk spreads into branches, some streaks of various shades of purple in the background.

quiet autumn morn
colours change without a sound
a silent rainbow
I only hear my footsteps
disturbing a peaceful path

An autumn scene: Large conifers mix with Japanese maples, with larger trees in the background, a blue sky, with a path winding through it.

A week ago, I reported flags that appeared following the w/e riot in London dotted down our local High Street. I was referred to the Highways team, who told me that the Street Lighting team has raised a 28-day job to have them removed.

Today, I see that someone in our town responded in good form 👏👏
Photo of the entrance to a Dominos pizza, sign above the door, a red brick building. There is a large purple square in the top left corner which is hiding a local sign which identifies the location. Along the right side, A street light pole w/an England flag about 2/3 the way up, underneath waves the Progress Pride flag.

smoldering sun-scorch
floss-spun cloudburst, erupting
I make more coffee

#DailyHaikuPrompt #haiku #poetry #nature
As described in the haiku, a huge, fluffy cloud seems to be exploding from its middle, above and partly behind a stretch of Alps.

straying far from roots
lone rose among the ivy
chosen families

#DailyHaikuPrompt #haiku #poetry
Close up of one perfect red rose thriving within a clump of ivy. In the background we see part of the back if an off white house wall and windows, with a hazy blue and white cloud sky.

air, a weary-calm
rolling hills

#Whistpr #haiku #HaikuSaturday #poetry
View out a car passenger side window, a big of wing mirror visible in the bottom right corner. A bit of road, then beyond to lush grass, fields, trees and various greens to hills beyond, some houses dotting the landscape in the background, centre right. A sky of large white cloude, and a couple patches of blue.

river bursts its banks
submerged stone bridge, vanishing
into the current

the hills look on, unconcerned
so much already buried

#MayTanka #NaTankaMo #TankaThursday (shelter) #tanka #DailyHaikuPrompt (river) #haiku #poetry #nature
Small stream in the foreground, left side, with mossy rocks and rising water. A lush of greens surrounds this small bit of stream, a lake visible in the background, and green rolling hills in the far background. The sky is overcase, with dramatic white clouds dotted amongst greys.

torch lilies parade
irises bear the banner
pampas grass, a float
life marches by, as always,
I sit on the patio

#MayTanka #NaTankaMo #tanka #DailyHaikuPrompt #haiku #poetry
Camera view tilted up left, a bunch of orange torch lilies stand in front of a clump of ivy, side by side with a cluster of purple irises. Behind, them pampas grass strands reach high against a blue sky. Some conifers behind them, a nearly clear blue sky, save for one small cloud top centre and a jet stream streak.

and we vow ‘never again’

strong sun, but no breeze
in my hair
your hospital bed
among the bluebells

80th anniversary VE day shopfront decoration, keeping it real…
WWII era poster of a soldier’s face, a brown soldier’s cap on his head. One hand holds the end of a zipper that has zipped his mouth shut. The print at the bottom reads: ZIPP IT CARELESS TALK COSTS LIVES

Poetry post is the best post, especially when it’s a gorgeous collection like Susan Richardson’s (@shadesofgreen.bsky.social) new one. It was a honour to write a review of this one. Isn’t it beautiful? 💛

#poetry #micropoetry #PoetryCommunity #WritingCommunity #AmReading
A print copy of the collection on a wooden table next to the card that came with it. The font on the cover is white and it is a stone beach scene, with rocks at the waterline, a sea and sky of blue, with some white cloud. The card is off white with a ribbon design across it.

Cometh the hour, cometh the poetry collections…

@salenagodden.bsky.social drops a strong rope ladder into the pit of impotence and despair with her new one, ‘Pessimism is for lightweights’ 💛

#poetry #PoetryCommunity
The hard copy collection has a yellow cover with the title centred l, slanted so the writing is diagonally upwards. Beneath it there is a bit of folded red poster showing, against a geometric tablecloth design in tan, red, and black.

Bluebells at peak power.

I wish I could also post their scent…

#Bluebells #Nature #Bloomscrolling
View of a clearing up a small hill in a woodland. A forest floor of bluebells flanked by foliage and trees of varying sizes and species. A patch of blue sky is visible through the trees, in the upper left corner of the photo. View over some lush greens to a forest floor of bluebells, with trees with young green leave interspersed throughout. A large mound in the woods covered with bluebells. Clusters of thin trees line the background.

I free a little more pain
with each magic breath
