Because we mustn't forget. This week's #PoemsAbout is #NeverForget. Thanks for the prompt @brokenspinearts.bsky.social @alanparry83.bsky.social
Never Forget There's a disquiet, quieting muffled voices That cry 'genocide' inside a vacuum And you have to scroll, twice for yesterday's death toll, While elsewhere they make plans and shake hands Over other lives - a consequence History doesn't repeat, it rhymes* *after Mark twain

This week's #Poemsabout prompted me to look back on one I wrote this time last year when I was (very) pregnant with my second daughter. Both my girls are May babies - this one is for them 🍃 #Green @brokenspinearts.bsky.social @alanparry83.bsky.social
Beyond new leaf and dewy blade, The morning sun straining to lift, The humid air where pollen drifts, Among branches dampened with shade. A lake; your footprint’s sunken ground Stamped out, and willow twines Hang lithely from your gaping Mouth, distant drums begin to sound. Followed arm-in-arm, the Woodwose Towards a brighter light ascends, Birds mimic him, till twilight ends A proud pageant, garlanded home. And little eyes, so awed by Jack, The Green Man, softly smiling back. Sown by pale and fragile hands, a tapestry of future colour, carefully buried; patted and watered. Wait for the patient Beltane sun. Birthed into brave viridescence, glow beneath a chill wind; emerald girl to change the tide and carry home a new moon. Aurora breathes her green sigh, she whispers, ‘soon’. Forget time. The dandelion, almost bare, leaves its future to the air. Entrusting in the artist’s use, of yellow against the chartreuse.

#vss365 #Nirvana #poetry
Nirvana silence echoes silence echoes silence stop with your back to the world acquiescence surrounding you as sharp light through closed eyes unblemished by the sight of nowhere the glow slips warm and soft to your bowels deep deep and silent except the sounds outside of it muffled by breath waves breaking on your chest steeped in pranayama darker and darker comes the light brighter and brighter the acceptance

Here's my first #PoemsAbout contribution on BlueSky, thanks for the prompt @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

#WolvesAtTheDoor
The knocking subsides And they gather Not one, but one with the ignorance of thousands, And as you reapply your red lip-stain, you realise It's is not the wolves you should fear - It's the disguise, But you left the door ajar, They're already inside...
