What if just for one night,
you could gather stars in
your coat pocket and dance
under the moon?🪶

I am awake again
gratitude is a bird
on my shoulder
despite the dust
of melancholy🪶

return of the hummingbird
after we’d thought the wind

words
place to put them
hands
ever moving

what thoughtsare
what thoughts aren’t
vapor in a rondo

vellum collage
blue soundtrack
constant swirl

vein of red
to follow

Tag your micropoems, observations or comments on life with #LossLit. Or #JoyLit if you are feeling really happy (this is much rarer).

Wrote a lot of good poetry, today, if I may say so myself. Despite health struggles.

These days it is hard to be jovial you say to me.

But even in sharing your thoughts a smidgen of light gets in.

You smile.

I’m on the train looking out
my window at the passing
pictures and I forgot all
about the time difference (again) and therefore about contributing anything at all to #losslit
but I feel alright because
hey, I’m on the train looking
out at passing pictures so
that must be a #joylit in any time zone.🪶

A tree shines amongst the ash

Green glow peacefully on the glassy dew

Holding a nest steadfast

That Dove is a Phoenix

Those flames were cowards

The new seed is Brave

Love Lives

For the record, I’m pretty certain I have the timing of posting #LossLit and #JoyLit stuff off by some or several hours. (Is it even Wednesday? Yes, yes it is.) I’m on the other side of the world from the host(s).

Just attempting to stir it up here in the sky. Because. I like it.🪶

I thought the thrush
tipping beak into the columbine
had breathed its final breath

Not another funeral thought I
but sighed and readied
leaned to take hold his softness

And the thrush spread its wings
alighting on the cherry tree to chirp a stern human go away!
I’m okay🪶🕊️🪶
