She was
Princess in her tower
Never knew a soul
That all changed when one day
She found a " #beetle" crawl
With no one else to think of
She promptly
fell in love
And that's how stinky cockroach
royal chambers did encroach
And that's why we know
to let children roam and grow

I'd love to have a theme
& choose my prompts w/ it in mind.
Truth's I didn't stop
to think at all as I applied
so the prompts, improbably,
are just what they are.
No theme — in lieu
the prompt is #impromptu.

The #BlueSkyRelay #prompt for October 15th is #impromptu.

Want to host Oct 22-28? DM me.

Write a very short story or poem containing or relating to the prompt and tag it #blueskyrelay. October 15th: impromptu

Text on top of a photo of a garden, perspective from under an apple tree, a sunlit stone path, on its opposite sides a watering can laying on its side in the grass and a garden hose.

at the #risk of sounding trite
your #impromptu #speech was bright
it made me #beetle about
gave me purpose to #exist
and I felt #liberated

It does appear impromptu,
the best planning goes like that.
We're fooled into believing
human foibles are at play.
Forgiveness in our hearts,
we just look the other way,
freeing them to violate laws
another, and then another, day.

That's awful. I'll make sure to check your profile every day while hosting ^^ it won't do to have your work be unappreciated

It's not showing in the tag search for some reason, so I'm glad I found it in my feed.

What a fierce poem. I'm in love with she. 👏👏👏

When the Schubert #Impromptu was played,
The pianist's performance was frayed.
His entire recital
Lacked all that is vital.
An "F" is a way too kind grade.

Impressive poem, Eric! 👏👏👏

Imps improvise in impish crews,
impressing minds with muddled cues.
Impossible plans in paper shoes,
imprint prints that promptly bruise.

_truth tumbles fastest when no one’s watching_

Improper prophets preach in pews,
imploding plots with borrowed news.
Impromptu truths in tangled views,
imps just grin, they love the ruse.

Update! It's back for now. If search goes away again for some reason, just wait. I'll find your posts eventually.

moniker @monikerpoems.bsky.social · 8h

The search function isn't working for me currently (after the app went down earlier), so I might not find your bluesky relay post until the feature is restored for me. Just heads up if you're waiting for me to repost it ^^

"Sir, IMPROMP ONE is breaching."
"Confirmed, Wilkins. Prepare to engage IMPROMP TWO!"
"But Sir, won't that create an #impromptu temporal gap, sending us five-point-two minutes into our own past?"
"Already happened, son. Why do you think I knew exactly when to say CONFIRMED?"

It came to me so suddenly! ^^ Why, I decided on it on the spot. If only there was a word to describe the manner in which I decided today's word...

Leaves scurry and pirouette,

I don’t know
don’t know
if I can live in
an #impromptu
world-
always at a surprise
party,
always waiting
to be startled-
I am just that 12 items or less
grocery line,
regimented,
orderly,
needing to know
it won’t be more than 12
