Impressive poem, Eric! 👏👏👏

Tongue-twisting poem written and Copyright (c) 2025 by Eric Montgomery (@madp03t.bsky.social). All Rights Reserved.

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.

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.

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

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

We took
An #impromptu
Trip that day
One of our few
You wanted
To ride horses
By the sea
Like a kid
On Christmas
You chattered
The entire drive
To the Norfolk coast
I melted
In your enthusiasm
Didn't have
The heart
To tell you
I was terrified
Of horses

an #impromptu birth
from the hush after sunrise
moonflower breathes in
as if night sketches white dream
that tomorrow will not take

I love the journey from noticing the surroundings to introspectiveness. "Step inside" indeed. Great poem! ^^

a #beetle crawls
through fog shrouded grass.
i follow slowly,
the morning quiet.

a #doorway appears,
half seen, half dream.
the wind #unveil
an #impromptu song.

i step inside.
shadows feel kind.
something #nefarious lifts
i am #liberated.
