Bellies, tummies, abdomens; everyone's got a stomach. Some are big, some are thin, some have scars or marks. Every body is a vessel, to help us through the day, so keep your belly full of food, make it hurt from laughs, and when you dance, be sure to make it sway. #bodyneutrality #poetry #bodylove

The weaver woman.

She weaves a quilt.
A blanket of pain.
Chain stitches
Back stitch
Running stitch.
She weaves a
generation of trauma.
Sweaters of pain
For her children
And their children
Trauma.

The Unapologetic Poet-

Drew a cute little crow ( just for funsies, not for the book) I am so happy with her. It's good sometimes to take a little break from one big project and just see where the art winds take you.

Cutesy drawn crow on top of a sparkly pile of gold coins and different colors of gems. Pastel pink background and the words written above the crow "I love shiny stuff"

Blank. The poem speaks for itself. What do you do when you have writers block? #poetry #writersblock #artist #ocean #waves #relax #writer #storyteller #story

Here is today's poem called "You Should Smile More"

#poetry #poem #vss365 #prompt #poetsofbluesky #writing #unseen
The mouth a quiet line. Teeth unseen--, no sound to give it away. But deep in the bones, a private warmth is lit. A choice, against the gray. The face is still, but the soul has curled at the edges.

Walking with heart ripped
open from cellar to sky,
love etched in the stars.

I wrote this today as a reaction to someones words
To whom it concerns You do not understand, Surrounded by gems and sparkling wonder. I wonder how you came to such a mindset. Perhaps raised with money pouring from an endless fountain, or something else, Where you lived out life, Never worried about sleep And all its demons. Perhaps the silver spoon's handle to wide to see below the backs you're walking on and mocking. “ They're like zombies” you say with a laugh. Well perhaps you're right. Bitten by society, With all life sucked out of them. They were just trying, As hard as we all do. And they fell. Some working two jobs, Yet still they fell. And down and down they go. Because people like you think like that, Even a school principal in sun valley, Lives out of her car because rent went up so high. Think about that.

I wrote this yesterday. Poetry is a great comfort when thoughts are racing.
To Feel Ok Again  The glass shatters. I look up, As art filled skies paint pictures in my mind, Somehow in this vast lonely expanse,  I exist amongst magnificent beauty.  If we only knew, Just how lovely everything can be. Of course your depressed, when all you do is mentally sit in the shadows, of this bright magnificent world. Darling, you were meant to feel the light. Keep looking for the windows. I'll hold your hand. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 -Calista Larsen

The poem that made me emotional for a bit today: Remembered Veneto, summer 2004. By Stacy Pratt
"You're us, and the sea, and the sun remembered."

This screenshot comes from a comic on Webtoon that I love. It's called The Pumpkin Sells Real Estate. I liked this quote 😊

oh, love
why are there
so many empty lines
in the spaces where
your words are
meant to go?

[I’m missing the poems
you haven’t written yet]

Wrote this poem based of of the promt.

#streetartists #graffiti #poetry
Street art I saw what left in the lightning, A crack, Among the quiet artists Painting in an alleyway. Purposeful brush strokes. Silence. Stagnation. Street kids of the nation. Paint covered clothes, Colored rainbow A crack in the concrete, Growing a rose. She saw the art, And behold Without it, They'd tear themselves apart. -Calista Larsen
