Haiku - not offended.
Deep in false shadows
my feeling the light shut off
ended with your smile

My poem recap of #QPRMIL uses the early modern ballad structure’s rhyme pattern: A, B, C, B. I tried to stick to the iambic structure, but ran out of steam.
Sadly, I had hoped this one to be jaunty.
On to Wednesday. #QPR

Whispers in the Web
In corners dim and rooftops high,
Where shadows blend with silent sky,
A weaver works with silken thread,
A patient artist overhead.

I’m doing a final export of all my Medium data then deleting myself. So don’t look for me there. I tried to go in and unlist things but I’d have to do each individual story/poem and that’s almost 500 pieces of work!!! I cant do that.
I’m still on Reddit but I’ll have to deal with that later

Go out & help your community. No Kings (or fascists) allowed!
Also in the original post, I wanted to further say: None of us are safe until ALL of us are safe.
Remember that “First They Came” poem
Fascism & Hate have NO home here

We WON’T let our peers & planet die by the hands of fascists. No matter how much money Dear Leader & Company have.
We WON’T let Dear Leader’s ICEy Gestapo erase our existence (neurodivergent peeps) for being not being in the MAGA cult.

Vices
In alley’s hush and neon’s glow,
Where whispered temptings softly grow,
There lie the seeds of sweet decay—
A velvet path that leads astray.

A beautiful poem for today:
Japanese poem Haiku by Izumi Shikibu (978~unknown) “What color is / this blowing autumn wind, / that it can stain my body / with its touch.”.

It’s #NoKings morning. My old body will join with younger ones to stand to say we see, and we oppose, capricious oppression and misrule. Here’s a poem, now song, for this: frankhudson.org/2025/10/16/b...
Beautiful Justice
This poem by the French Surrealist poet Paul Éluard wandered into my view earlier this month, and it seems like it, and my work translating it into English, slots right in between my late wife’s po…

Poetry Friday: National Pasta Day needs something cheesy
There are few things more comforting than a nice, warm serving of pasta – whether it’s a plate of angel hair carbonara, a thick slab of lasagna filled with roicotta and bolognese, or el…

Short Poem of the Day 📝
December (Eschaton)
At the last day
the students leave the gates and exit into Summer.
They ramble out in packs, together,
but wander from each other;
Drift off on roads alone
looking for home.
