I wanted to share some poetry from my last collection

I find myself looking back at it often to reflect on who I was and where I was at in life when I wrote ‘Love Space & Loneliness’

It’s crazy how words can transport you back to a moment in time, how raw the emotions and feelings were

Happy Halloween 🎃

A black and white, medium portrait of a person with glasses, a mustache, and a goatee, wearing a textured hoodie and looking directly at the camera in front of a curtained background.

Oh yeah, grow that banned book collection too 📚

Books I've read when I was younger, but didn't have in my personal collection
A hand holds up two paperback books, the 60th-anniversary edition of "Fahrenheit 451" and the 75th-anniversary edition of "Animal Farm," in front of a wooden shelf with two small potted jade bonsai plants.

Crow ✍🏽

#poem #poetry #poemoftheday #freeverse #eskeen #leave
Ominous spirit / Guiding light / Grant me foresight / On what awaits me / Change is never clear / I've succumbed to the fog / A momentous release / Of old memories / What defines me? / It couldn't be intimate imagery / Of a dreary depleted being / Soul searching about who I could be / Wisdom I've come to seek / To speak a universal language / Whispering manifested changes / To make this bleak house breathe / -e.s.keen

The poem and the poet
Splintered in how I take my next step / Treading the same location / In new shoes / In the same season / But these fallen leaves / Though from the same oak / Have different veins / They tell a different story / Can we evolve if we remain? / Or must we flee indefinitely / Is growth diminished / Without new perspective? / The heart is fond / Of familiarity / But a calling in the wind / Carries change that I seek / e.s.keen A portrait photo shot of a poet by the name of e.s.keen, a man with a beard and short curly hair smiles at the camera, standing outdoors on a sunny day. He is wearing a gray and black plaid jacket over a white shirt. The background is a forest of bright, golden yellow aspen trees in the autumn.

Something new 🖋️

#poetry #poemoftheday #eskeen #autumn
The background is of luscious yellow and orange vegetation and tall green trees touching the tops of a light blue sky representing the coming of autumn. A darkened overlay is placed on top to make the poem laid on top easily readable. The following words formulate a free verse poem that is placed on the very top of the image, "Could you blame me If my stride doesn't carry the same power Because my body is tired And the weight of the world Seeps into the pores Streaming into the veins Flooding the blood stream Marrying into each blood cell As of it were an arrangement Against your will And the betrayal of your freedom Is a cost that you must bear For decades on end And I apologize for the lack of empathy In a world lacking the heart for sympathy" This poem was originally written by e.s.keen

Take me back here. Hawaii was a wonderful experience. It really puts into perspective how powerful culture, family and water especially is 🌊
A wide, scenic view of the ocean from a rocky shoreline on a bright, sunny day in Hawaii. A low, dark stone wall frames the foreground, leading to weathered rock formations. The sun reflects brilliantly on the deep blue water, and the sky is filled with scattered white clouds.

Haven't picked up a console on launch day or night since the original Nintendo 3DS 🔥

The setup process was smooth and fast, the UX/UI designer in me was extremely pleased 🤌🏽

#NintendoSwitch2
2 handheld consoles, one being a Nintendo Switch with a black left joycon controller and a red right joycon controller attached rests below a new Nintendo Switch 2. The original Switch is displaying the home menu while the Switch 2 is displaying a screen walking the user through the initial setup process before using the console for the first time. Both consoles are testing on a black table with a dimly lit kitchen light reflecting off of the Nintendo Switch screen.

Back to the short hair phase again (and debating going even shorter?)

Or I may just grow it again

We'll see how I'm feeling in a few months
A black and white close-up shot shows the author with short, curly dark brown hair, a mustache, and a goatee looking directly at the camera. They have dark brown eyes and are wearing a light-colored t-shirt. The background is softly blurred, showing a room with a bookshelf and a white door. The lighting suggests a natural light source from the side, casting subtle shadows on the author's face. They have small, round dark wooden gauged earrings in both earlobes.

Thank you @annemorrigan.bsky.social for the daily prompts, they truly give me some needed practice and inspiration as I've always wanted to try my hand at more haiku poetry
