Ground up
and torn apart
Everything turning dark
Lost my way
back to the dreaming side of me

Remembering back when everything seemed possible
No limits and heartache
The cold grave was a distant thought

A poem for the @thebrokenspine.co.uk #poetryprompt #bites
My slant on it after the wind blew in from the sea.

"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

Read that wistfully... then read it in a sarcastic tone. Both work. Any other #poems that do this? 🤔

Complaining about the cost of eggs and gas…
A bitter memory as they deport your family and send you to concentration camp
ignorance won’t save you
in the face of fascism
as you clung so desperately to your racism
They said it couldn’t happen here
#poems #booksky #poets #fascism

They said it couldn’t happen here
now your future is a boot heel on your neck
choking off your dreams of freedom
they don’t keep their fascist dreams hidden, kid
making excuses for missing fascists in plain sight
smiling behind blue suits and lies as they steal your rights

“Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,”

A carpet of crimson
Blankets the ground
Muffling the world
And all her sounds
The scent of the earth
Whispers her ending
And distant rebirth

Only a glimmer of passion
remains in a look
a smile
Hints of past lives and joys
eludes

I am destined to chase my past
Caught up in empty nostalgia
based on dead dreams

Sapping all our strength
draining our minds of ideas and dreams
in the name of a progress
we’ll never see
Just another series of empty deals
a soulless pact
as they steal all we have
or will ever have

#PoemaDelDía Hoy estamos leyendo

All the animals
crawled into caves and holes,
And no longer were our stories told
And retold.
The moon and stars
Made attempts to shine,
But a scythe of stone
cut them down,
and nailed them to
Lost Arrow Spire
Where the cosmic dust fell to form
A lonely funeral pyre.
