I made a site where you send your poem to a stranger and get real feedback back.

No followers, no likes, no algorithm. Just your poem and someone who actually read it.

Premeditated 🔪

I will not go quietly.

#willowflame #PoetsOfBlueSky #horror

Slide 1 — Content Warning
A black background with a subtle gray spotlight illuminating the center. At the top, large blood-red serif lettering reads “CONTENT WARNING.” Beneath it, centered white serif text reads:
“The content to follow is
violent and visceral.
It contains explicit descriptions
of attempted murder,
stabbing,
strangulation,
and severe physical trauma.
Viewer discretion is
strongly advised.”
The stark black, red, and white color scheme establishes a dark, ominous psychological horror aesthetic.Slide 2 — Premeditated
A dark, textured black background illuminated by a faint overhead spotlight. The title “PREMEDITATED” appears at the top in large, blood-red serif lettering. Two columns of off-white serif poetry are separated by an ornate vertical red divider resembling a ceremonial dagger. Selected violent words are highlighted in red.
Left column:
First he tried
to smother me
with a pillow.
When I thrashed around,
struggling for air,
he brandished his knife.
His intent was
to sever my spine.
However...
His murder attempt failed.
Right column:
He underestimated
the durability
of my spine—
which has repeatedly
been fractured,
and is now calcified.
Then I fought back.
Not with blunt force...
but by dissecting him
with a scalpel.

Who Killed Cock Robin?"

The body’s found,
       a limp and bloody ball of ragged down,
              eyes dulled, claws torn.

Some choughs are sent
       to make a beak-tip search around the scene,
              but come up blank.

The victim was,
       by all accounts, well liked, so suspects will
              be hard to find.

A bluebottle
       was witness to his fall, but didn’t see
              the murderer.

We don’t know why
       he died, then, nor who foully took his life,
               but we know how:

a clothyard shaft
        that pierced his heart, and sent him tumbling
               from air to earth.And now routine:
        the trawling through of records and the like,
               until success —

the killer’s found:
        the sole toxophilite around the place,
                and envious

of Robin’s fame
        and fortune gained from Christmas cards and songs
                and biscuit tins.

He tries to fly,
        but Sparrow is no match for D.C. Hawk,
                 is brought to book.

Cock Robin’s mourned
        by every bird that flies; with sighs and sobs
                  he’s laid to rest

while in a cage
        his killer flutters helpless wings and rues
                  his jealous rage.
@michellemybelle75.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:00 PM

He built
a wall
around you~
a claim of
fortress for
his heart
while yours
belongs to
the sky
walls cannot
confine the
wings that
carry you
there is
no ceiling
for birds
of flight

there is
above the high-tide mark



                                       into a stain
that glistens darkly
                                 holds its shape

where


has been blown
by the light north-easterly.

a roving Airedale


grasps a piece of driftwood
in its jaws

later
there will be

striped plastic tape
to ward off ghoulish eyes
	blood on the beach

clumping the silicate
grains       the microscopic
shards of shell



raised slightly
the drier
sand
around it
off


snuffles
at the patch
and sneezes

and runs away.


a white tent
covering the find

Mother. Fuckers. Bitches. Hoes. Off.

It is the first day of Navratri, the best time to revisit this piece.
I wrote about how attachment is also an important aspect of life and is often overlooked while the world constantly talks about detachment/surrender.

A combination of cozy and horror is my favorite.

When it is hauled – dissolving, hard to see
as what was once a human being –
out of the winter lake,
they gape in silence:
puffs of vapour stand for voices.

Brought to shore, it lies upon a canvas sheet;
the brightly painted rowing boat
is dragged up on the freezing mud,
and those with jobs to do leave in relief.
The rest look anywhere but at their dripping catch,
and wait until the surgeon comes
to certify the thing is dead.

It’s whisked away,
laid out upon a table, stainless steel —
and then the slicing and the sawing,
and the grim performance
of the modern haruspectic rite
that seeks for omens, not of things to come,
but of the past.Here, trapped within the folds of grey,
a bullet’s found, striations mapped;
upon the wrists and ankles, barely visible,
abrasion marks.
The organs bottled, tissues laid on slides,
and dental work recorded...
finally the closing, crudely stitched.
The corpse is slid into a chilly drawer,
the table’s sluiced,
and there’s just time for sandwiches and tea
before the next one’s wheeled along.

Examining the entrails, though, brings no success;
the days drag past, then weeks,
and after months the clockwork of investigation
slows, winds down, and other cases
take its place.
                              The human jetsam – missing
certain bits and pieces – is reduced
 to smoke and ash, unmourned, unmarked.
From water into air, then fire,
and finally it’s laid in earth.

What if your poem reached exactly one person — but that person actually read it?
