初花 梅の花
First Blossoms
Heralding the spring
Plum Blossoms
The harbingers arrive
Sakura follow behind
Shot 2025

Thorngate
A #poem in four parts
—
i.
A drunken déluge of rain, nearly ice.
Seek shelter from late winter’s iron vice.
Before me, an old high church’s gate
of richly carved stones, ornate and red:
between us a thornbush. I stand and wait
in fear of thornwounds with deepening dread.
I’m looking for poetry and poet recommendations from the last decade if anyone has some. (Anything from this century is cool, too, if you know of something pre-2015).
I read a ton of nineteenth and twentieth century poetry as a kid and loved it.
I know almost nothing about the newer stuff.
You get bonus points if it’s humorous or about nature, but I’m happily open to other types as well so long as they’re not gory.
Hi friends,
This is a long shot. I had a poem published in the Spring 2023 issue of Creatopia magazine, but my contributor copy got lost in the post. Keen to hear from anyone who might have a copy they'd be willing to part with.
Many thanks,
Casey
Wrote this inspired by a friend's post on Twitter. It's maybe a bit shitty since it's a first draft, but what do you think? Good enough to publish on my blog?

Me
Talkative recluse
Obsessions by the score
Writes on
My work
Creepy shadows
Land of the Rising Sun
But KISSES count
Unseen storms
What haunted lands
Wanders my love
Like a sailor’s wife
Awaiting your return

#WordWeavers #Writing 27 Have you written poetry?
Yes. I write senyru 川柳 especially. shahai シャハイ and monaku.
Senyru is similar to hiaku. Shahai is when it is written to accompany a photograph.

My house is always cracking at night. When I was a child, my dad would tell me "don't worry my dear, it's the wood breathing. The house is relaxing".
I'm a grown-up now but, drifting away to its familiar wooden lullaby, I still wonder how many lives are sung that I don't know of. #writing #writerscoffeeclub #writingcommunity #text #childhood #poetry #poem #poems #poemsonmastodon #poetrycommunity #poetrycafe #poetrycorner #poetsofmastodon #shortstory #dailylife #storiesofmastodon #poetic
There were no more step to take
She wished she had thought about it sooner
She would have taken more, she thought
There were no last breath to take
That one seemed to surprise the reaper more
Should she tell her she hid it
In one of her goodbye kiss
Would she take that soul?

Poetry about grief
Here is a small piece I wrote but didn't review about my grandma passing away. I'm not a native speaker and you can tell I am French because rhymes but I hope it's okay. Any commentary welcome

Circles
Endless pondering
Draw lil' circles in the sand
Watch them fade away
As the tide licks at the shore
Unbroken cycle
.....
A tanka about inevitability and the passage of time.
The tide always rises to wash away your little drawings in the sand, just as time passes and takes your childhood with it.
It's something I've been struggling with lately especially as I'm about to graduate high school in less than a month.
But I'm all good just a bit unsure of what the future holds
I've got a great interview with #poet Mark Engelsson on my #KoFi today!
https://ko-fi.com/post/Author-Interview-with-Mark-Engelsson-L3L3K7OAS
He's talking about his new #poetry collection, What If What's Inside Me Isn't Me?
I managed to get the #audiobook version successfully recorded between rain showers this afternoon. The drops were loud enough hammering on the boat's roof to be picked up by my microphone!
Anyhow, my new six #poem collection, The Bus Stop, is available as of today in my #KoFi shop
