#RetroArtPrompt Week 11 Winner #RAPwinner
@mwplovesmusic.bsky.social with her epic #poem on #patriarchy
mwplovesmusic.bsky.social Mizz Whozza Whazzit @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social · Oct 18
Patriarchy
says
don’t wear that
skirt
or
that
shirt
or that
dress;
don’t sleep
with x number
of men
don’t be too
sexy
hide
yourself
past
45
don’t show shoulders
thighs
knees
necks;
Patriarchy says
men can’t control
themselves,
women must do it for them-
I say zip it up.

In awe
of the astral alignment
that brought us together,
the current that flows between
our fingertips,
the expressions molding
skin
from thousands of miles away;
all these unspoken things-
friendship,
without demand,
with love

I know who I Am
I am love
I am wisdom
I am discernment
I am fortune

It's this week's mantra
'Cause I've needed the reminder
And when I don't embody who I Am
I break my own heart

Still Winter Nights

Twinkle,
Iced air suspends,
Under moons gold handle,
Owls swooping, silently stalking,
Whiskers.

One year.
Since you dipped your toe in
And found the water quite warm
And soon
Soon
You can dive in
And I may relish
Holding you in my depths

Can I tell you
a secret?
I still love
the park swing.

I crave
to sneak in
at nighttime
and jump on.

The sway,
the rhythm,
that feeling
like I'm flying.

It's sad
to seem like
I'm too old,
when inside
my child
still wants
to f
l
y.

Me, apparently. A year ago.

I begin to trust in you, My inner goddess The One who knows what I know But don't know I know I come to you, Bound and wound and suffering, And you bid me be still There will be an end, Not to life, But unconsciousness After this existence, I return to true self - Awaken to knowing once again In the moments I'm able to embrace this, The calm warms me from within J.

Mar 2023 - so many visits to Kāwhia’s Ocean Beach, so little time. On this excursion, our mid-afternoon hike up the tall black sand dunes presented us with this dramatic shot. In the foreground, a dense mixture of native Toetoe and their invasive cousins (Pampas Grass) stand as one, assessing the incoming weather. A slice of the Tasman Sea is a light turquoise, and a forbidding dark blue lines the horizon with virga above it. Only a small section of Karioi’s flanks can be seen, just off-centre in the photo. Overhead, Ranginui and Tāwhirimātea are having a heavy conversation as a swirling, dark mood brews between the two. Will their differences (the gods, and the grasses) be sorted? The contrast of the soft and the violent is awe-inspiring. Perhaps this is but yet another passing maelstrom, as the weather can change quickly out here on the sometimes wild and raw West coast. 𝑠𝑜𝑓𝑡𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑚 - 𝑎 ℎ𝑢𝑑𝑑𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑝 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑑𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎 𝑚𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 - 𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑠 𝑜𝑛𝑒 ˚‧⁺･˖·•.ೃ࿐࿔*:.🌬️ #BlueSkyArtShow #soft #RetroArtPrompt #maelstrom #mobilephotography #photography #haiku #micropoetry #poetry
