A wispered wish on wings of hope
In quiet moments where love outshines disguise
Boundless skies and dreams Set free on the wings of a butterfly
Let the stars sprinkle love through every crack and fissure
In every breath a wish
For your souls eternal release

A dose of nature.
A dose of red.
A dose of light.
Hope,
vitality,
and life.

Took this two days ago before the winds.
I can’t imagine how many flowers no longer have any of their petals.
Happy #RoseWednesday
I hope everyone has an absolutely amazing day 🏵️

🌿☕ Morning Reflection 🌅

Even when the world feels fragile,
we are proof that goodness still breathes.
Every act of kindness, every honest word —
that’s hope, still choosing to live. 💛

Time is a soft echo,
a whisper through the branches
it doesn’t hurry,
just hums the truth
of all we’ve learned to release.

I used to chase it,
grasping for moments to hold,
but now I breathe,
and let it unfold —
gentle as grace,
steady as dawn.

Hello Wild walk writers

I realised today that; considering I walk around a lake, I have missed out on a very obvious prompt word...

#Water

Use the image/word to inspire your writing, then post using #WildWalkPrompt

A poem about breaking the mould.

Cast Out

I rushed to be free of the mould,
iron spilling too soon from its cradle.
The crust seemed convincing,
but beneath,
the metal still quivered,
molten,
hungry for form not yet found.

My strength a cheap illusion,
hollow beneath the veneer,
unable to endure
the gravity of existence.
I began to cool unevenly,
without frame or support.

Pressure buckled the gossamer shell,
edges curling like burned paper,
A slow implosion.
A soft, quiet failure.

And when at last I hardened,
I was set in the wrong shape.
A cracked, flawed casting,
ringing false when struck.

If I had waited,
let the fire settle,
let time cool the core,
perhaps I would have held

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.

A young fellow whose shirt was all stained
Saw his lovely wife’s look — it was pained.
“You’re so messy with #pasta,”
She chided him. “Basta!
You’re just like your dad — it’s ingrained.”

NO KINGS RALLIES, PROTESTS, MARCHES OCTOBER 18, 2025
#poem #poetry #NoKings

Together in anticipation
Unity/solidarity occasion
A freedom declaration
Anti-fascist exclamation
Democracy popularization
Humanity exaltation
For a better nation
That’s the vibration
What a sensation!

Sharing here a poem, and artwork, by an entity that’s part of the 50501 movement; name seen below the artwork…💛🖇️.
-
(Art by Minnesota Indivisible Alliance)

No crowns today-
just paperclips and tape,
holding democracy together,
shape by shape.

No thrones to polish, no robes to mend,
just homemade signs and hearts that won't pretend.
We're the ones inflating truth from lies,
helium hope beneath open skies.

No gold-plated power, no royal disguise
just laughter rising where fear quietly dies.

Operation Inflation: we rise, not bow.
No kings then, no kings now.

With every clip, with every hand,
we're piecing our country back-- strand by strand.

Vibrant painting of an abstract view of a large gathering of people, uniting in a peaceful protest. Seemingly on the lawn of a cathedral-looking place that could also symbolise the White House. Lush greenery all around, cloudscape skies above. A bucolic image.

as I sit
at the ledge of life,
with my sorrow
with my wit

I ponder
on the conundrum
of ourselves

of how the world
is somewhat a Pandora’s box
no simple answers
no easy fix

on the paradox
of it all

I ponder
on our complexities
our complications
our conflicts

and now,
our grave reckoning
