By being candid
Am I lying to myself
A prison of truths

I found a pea
In my Cheerios
I’ll eat it anyway
But I’m a weirdo

An ache in my bones
Haunted by my memories
A ghost lives inside

The cat on the roof
And his gargoyle bride
Watching those below
With uncaring eyes
No moment of sonder
For judging their lives
Only love for each other
With nothing to hide

Hello Wild walkĺ

Sat on the roof of a small shed, and staring off into the sunset.
Cats seem to have all the patience In the world... sometimes.

Unwilling participants in our history, the trees stood firm as we used and abused them. It went beyond lumber mills and paper pulping. From parents with a willow switch to hangings to burning heretics alive, our misery became ingrained in their bark.

It keeps trees warm, fed, protected! And it can be nice and pretty too... (but I bet you write about dogs(🤣

I felt all aglow
My aura was lit
I wasn’t sure
Could this be it
Maybe aliens beaming
Me up to their rocket
Or it’s the rapture
As someone tik tok’d
So excited to leave
But my aura it wasn’t
Just gasses which then
Spontaneously combusted

I cant help but picture a (very large field) full of domesticated giants. Great story

Stones hide their stories well
Deep below they yearn to tell
Of all those that went to hell
Even though they paved the way
An intended path through the fray
There is a call to lead them astray

Hello Wild walk #writers

This rock spoke to me. (Not literally, that would be odd,) but it was just so prominent and different I the wood.

A dinner party for
Reformed cannibals
Menu has to be incredible
Can’t do pescatarian
It wouldn’t be satiable
Vegan- too unpalatable
So what can I cook?
My callus is shavable
So I season the whole table
With human zest
Turns out it’s cravable
To reformed cannibals

I watched the rivulets of crimson water run down my arm, looking for patterns in the water’s chosen path. That is what I’d been taught. Where others saw chaos and entropy, I saw a prophetic cipher to decode. I just wish we didn’t find the code in entrails.

I’m not sure about kombucha
That weird hippy phenomena
A fermented mushroom drink
Smells like the drain in my sink
I don’t know why it looks mucky
I just think it’s really yucky

I’ve been slacking on the poetry forms lately, but tried a #rondel today. Unfortunately, #elastic just made me think of worn underwear.

Thank you! I’ve been thinking about how to do a dual perspective write for a bit, and this prompt just seemed to work.

Fancy coffee with extra shots
Chug a Red Bull then energy gum
Caffeine to kill our wariness
Until your reality hums
Anything to keep us going
But then the evening comes
Chamomile tea and Ambien
Amulets for self regulation
