Wind chimes call for death
Those parasitic inworms,
scratching at my flesh.

the paper will always be waiting for the ink. The keyboard always listening for your punches. No rush. Rest.

Those feather bouquets!
I always liked sered roses,
from quiet gaunt men.

I feel that 🫂 it seems like the world is especially challenging for everyone these past few months honestly. Remember you can always pause the climb to admire how far you've already come.

What an inspirational reminder. <3

Smells of nightshade.

Sometimes it feels like imposter syndrome is but a side effect of being a poet. <3 thank you for words of encouragement. I'm in the process of improving! I like that.

So I'm useless now?
When I disassociate,
you love to use me.

I needed to hear this.

©Gabrielle Verseve @gabriellev.art · 2d

As a woman who feels connected with nature, I don't know how to not see humanity, nature and the self as one. I guess I am not a haiku poet but a senryu poet after all.

As poets what do we tell ourselves when we question the quality of our own work?

#poets #question

We apologize to the poets who received an acceptance but were not included in the anthology.

The reason is the final confirmation statement is a crucial legal requirement for publication

Unfortunately, if confirmation was not received by the deadline, we could not legally proceed with publication.

Your bookmark goes perfect with the theme! 🌃🌉🤗
