"The Huntsman's Eyes".

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

We came upon a rabbit by the path
while walking in the Wolds one Winter’s day:
unmoving but alive, eyes weeping pus —
and so she killed it, stamping on its head.

My shocked reaction, though it went unvoiced,
brought scorn for townie softness I betrayed;
the creature, myxie-raddled, was in pain —
so killing it was merciful, she said.

I couldn’t fault the logic, to be sure,
but more than simple logic was at play;
the glee with which she’d killed was all too clear,
and over it the mercy thinly spread.

A poem "Uneasy" by Robert Emond.

My heart grows uneasy as hospital stay nears end
Should be time of joy
Yet
I
Fear
Falling
Falling back into destructive patterns
My art cocoon is unraveling
Will I emerge the glorious butterfly
I know exists in my soul
Or will
I
Fall
Fall back into
Fear
Fears that led my heart
To
Fail
My heart grows uneasy

Day two of my #7syllablesquad run and it’s time to bring me the storm.

I felt the dark clouds gather
And in the darkness I rose
Pushing the incoming storm

ultimate beauty
flowers siting on grave

Colored today written & drawn day I got out of ICU.

A photo of a haiku and a drawing of pink flowers next to a grave that says 1910 on it the haiku reads:

ultimate beauty
flowers sit on grave
celebrate life *

It should say "flowers sitting on a grave". I have trouble counting syllables the best of times, immediately realleased from the ICU is not the best of times. Poem and photo by Robert Emond.

"Neverland".

#poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #choughbooks #poemsonconflict

There is a small child lying in the dark,
a tight-pulled knot of hunger, thirst, and fear,
not knowing what has happened to her home
and friends
and parents.
Though she doesn’t understand,
she has a hard-gained sick familiarity
with sharp small-arms fire, dull explosions,
shattered buildings, falling dust,
has grown accustomed to the screams
and to the screaming silence,
waking and in dream.

She can’t remember who she is —
has lost her name, her playfulness,
her curiosity, affection, warmth.

She can’t remember where she lived:
in Syria, or Yemen, or Sudan, or Palestine,
Iran, Ukraine, or Lebanon....?
So many lands she might have once called
home;
they’ve merged
into a broken nightmare,
filled with smoke.

It billows from a burnt-out tank,
from blocks of flats and hospitals,
from camp-fires,
crematoria, and cigarettes
that glow in sentried night —
smoke is the substance,
grief the form of war.

earlier version published in Poems on Conflict (Chough Books, 2022)

Sometimes even the smallest piece can be the last bit to collapse a bridge. Even if you were inseparable just a moment before.
I still think about them every day though, I don't think that will ever stop.

#poetsofbluesky #vss365 #writingcommunity #friendship #poem

Poem text:
That Fight
I want that fight
One that fixes what's broke
One that voices what's unspoken

After it we embrace so tight
Wondering why we said goodbye
Wondering why we left for a lie
#
I want that fight
The kind that gives us mend
The kind that makes us brothers again

Chew angry words all night
Let's get back to you and me
Let's get back to what we could be
- J Poetry

Image behind the poem is all black save for two contrasting white male figures, their backs turned to each other and a jagged line dividing them entirely

Exsanguinated 🩸

Ravenous appetite, never satiated.

A square, gothic-style graphic with a vivid blood-red background fading to black around the edges. On the right, a black silhouette of a long, slender hand with pointed nails reaches upward. On the left, black Gothic lettering reads: “Grief had already bled me dry. Then, you came—demanding me to slake your thirst. Mistaking my silence for something you could drink.”
