#SomethingEveryday #pumpkin #PumpkinCarving #jack-o-lantern #owl I'm happy with how this turned out!

This is in honour of a friend whose home I always love to visit, especially when I am too sick to move much. #PoetsOfDoom @jenthorne.bsky.social @sonnetsmith.bsky.social @sonnetsmith.bsky.social @phylogeneticsteve.bsky.social

I usually dislike circular stories. But this one has me spellbound.

Trigger Warning: despair, helplessness, death This poem is really meant for a different target audience, and will be somewhat preaching to the choir. The canary choir, in this case. It is an expression of the human tendency to follow rules but forget why they exist and blame the prophet/victim.

#AcrosticOctober #Squirrel #SomethingEveryday #Spy Based on a true story. I wish I had a picture, but the operator was too swift!

#MenOnMonday Today I want to celebrate: @sonnetsmith.bsky.social @rock-rex.bsky.social @bundtkake.bsky.social @arliden.bsky.social @oyoguhito.bsky.social @robertemond.bsky.social for their consistent strength of kindness.

I couldn't resist this opportunity to present my favourite vampire: Now, if you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

#WildWalkPrompt #beak #humour Here is a slightly updated version of a poem from last February. It is a light, fun ballad written in a poetic form I call the Juniper Loop.

This is for Oct 2 morning. No peeking if you haven't gone to sleep yet on Oct 1! Good morning glacial erratic rock Good morning green-gold larch flock Good morning mountain summit, shy Good morning all in the Bluesky

#SomethingEveryday #Poem One of my favourites, one of my early poems here from a #vss365 prompt. The poem is on the challenges of living with an unpredictable #ChronicIllness and appreciation for #Caregivers

Dunno if this is my favorite, or best (as there is little distance between my best and worst). But it is my Braveheart speech to poets and creators all. ❤️ #SomethingEveryday #NationalPoetryDay #NeverDenyYourGift #poetry #poetrycommunity #writing #writercommunity #prompt @sonnetsmith.bsky.social

Golden larch forest, alpine meadow: Sacred places where I want to stay. How did I dare enter there, Knowing I must go away?

#SomethingEveryday #Rivers #LateToTheParty Today I feel grief Not even this alpine creek Can stream it away

#PoetsOfDoom #ArsPoetica #Can'tRememberTheSpelling There once was a girl who liked limericks But hated when people were big dicks So she'd take up a pen Write a verse about them So her laughter could shimmer quick

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...

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day, Matey! #aiart #digitalart #aiartcommunity #pirate #caturday

#SomethingEveryday #RiceCrispyCakes #fail Early in the pandemic, I bought a “spring edition” of Rice Crispies that featured some green and blue crispies. Since all was snow and mud outdoors, I planned to boost our spirits by making them into cakes, shaped as flowers. I had never made them before.

The evenings are cool now with the long golden hours of summer's swan song that is early autumn The floods that have washed themselves away made crusty old banks bow down into fresh lining for the riverbed still damp beneath the secret swing So, I, too ascend soar crown fall upside down all

#WildWalkPrompt #orange @sonnetsmith.bsky.social It’s been almost a year, Quill, my friend Orange you happy to see me again?

#vss365 @darkxfer.bsky.social @ourpoetryx.bsky.social @ladydecrescent.bsky.social @sonnetsmith.bsky.social - I do not know. What do you see in me? What colours are the shades you are looking through? Perhaps the lenses are green. It would explain why you walk over me, all the time,... 1/7

#SomethingEverday #care #BskyWriters #WritingCommunity I’m OK, are you OK? Except I want to hang with yous all day So for now, I’ll simply say Wishing you light along your way

This reminded me of these #MisheardLyrics that a couple girlfriends honestly believed as teens. And I'm Too sexy for your party Too sexy for your party No way I'm disco dancing I'm an IGUANA You know what I mean?

Third response for how we "use" math every day. As my newly 18 year old son says: engineering = applied physics = applied math. Even if you don't remember, it's good to have What bears needed load? Why do bridges last so long? Answer: triangles! 😃

#SomethingEveryday #numbers #PythagoreanTheorem For the changing curve You need the hypotenuse Formula's input (There was no line tool, so excuse my badly drawn ones. The hypotenuse provides the diameter and then radius to calculate the new curve needed so the counter fit in the space.)
