I'm actually doing the same (reading lots) right now. Reading really fills my cup☕️, and I think writing is what kind of spills over when my cup is full, if that makes sense.

(And yeah, that last line is meant wholesomely as well as other likely interpretations 😈)

Dictators may influence your emotions, but cannot dictate them. Joy is an act of radical resistance by helping you to summon the will to resist and mocking the attempts to demoralize you. Art is resistance. Joy is resistance. Love is resistance. Don't be afraid to tend your own garden ❤️

Overcome by confusion

Serious answer - Depends on the poem! Maybe this rock has had many experiences, or many experiences have been had near it. Maybe something happened suddenly. Poets can see beyond the realms of 'sanity' and 'reality' to weave truths that can be interpreted by the soul, fuel for the fire of existence.

I tend to like it when songs get most people (across demographics) excited and involved - it feels more like community to me. So I'm happiest at a party during classic/basic party songs like celebration, single ladies, thriller, macarena, cha-cha slide, gangnam style, and sweet Caroline.🔆🕺🪇💃🎶

Good morning, friends!

A poetic quote to start your week from 'Embodied Animal':

"My thinking is conflated with my soul...only pain reminds me of the truth: I'm not my brain."

The piano lilts and trebles
As my soul lifts the keys
To the clouds somehow
Like a river over pebbles
The tempo of the breeze
Concludes and takes a bow

Love this! BTW I just submitted a haibun to the Haiku4U - I didn't know you were where the Solseed prompts came from! What a wonderful option for inspiration 😍

Umbrellas insufficient, bedraggled seekers trudge through a monsoon. Some answers merit such dedicated pursuits. Shop doors all shuttered but one hoodoocraft vendor, fire in their hearth.

Destinies shuttered
Nowhere to go except to
Warmth and promises

...Professional persona on display...

#MPPrompt #Poetry #Authenticity #Healing #Acceptance #ChronicIllness

I designed the background in Canva (no AI) to look like a golden implosion in the middle of black, wrinkled fabric. The text breaks apart in the middle to reveal the implosion.

The title is in a bright golden scrawl. The rest of the text is white and transitions from formal font to a scrawl font as the text describes the shedding of a professional persona.

The text reads:

Implosion

Prior to depleted capability,
Professional persona on display.
Prim pose, appeal ing to patronage -
Perpetual productivity.
As symptoms progress,
Persist in keeping up appearance.
Even in unemployment
Pretending
Even as hospital patient
Pretending
Pending introspection
And a prickly epiphany
Performance problematic
Must dispense with persona
Accept I am in disrepair
Pieces spread across the pavement
Cant replenish when suppressing

Stiff as garden gnome
Mechanically sipping joe

Monday - must leave home
Backpacked kids in tow

His joy stuck in dreams
Weird from sleeping pill

Then clear outdoor beams
And crisp morning chill

Melt the ice all at once
Skips to bus with his sons

Prompt for 5 October

-Morning chill-
Part of the fabric of fall, a morning chill is refreshing. It has an edge that stimulates the mind even as you reach for your flannel.

From the vault: Blanket

It really is fascinating. I wonder how it got that way! (I bet some poets will tell us, though)
