Day 8: Stinky

A new guest is here
Showing them around the house
He's happy today

Near the closet now
A stink coming from in there
"A dead mouse, perhaps?”

He’s avoidant
"Maybe," he says and quickly
changes the subject

It's unbearable
decay is filling the lungs
“Let’s go someplace else."

Tony can't risk it
This is his thirteenth target
His lucky numberDay 9: Ram

Marty rammed his car
Intentionally into the tree
It was an accident
That's what he’d try and tell thee 

Trying to make it look like one
For a punishment less severe
He would convince everyone
He lost control of the steer

The animal he has killed
Is regarded as sacred
Go to prison for ten years
And face the community's hatred

Little does he know
The forest has eyes
Drinking, murder, now trickery
To his sins the forest is wise

The moon would once again witness
Nature’s justice from afar
The tree’s damaged trunk was his alibi
Now its roots are devouring the car

A quiet heart can hold a thousand stories. 🕊️ Which feeling found you today? You can answer in one word. #haiku #emotionalpoetry #poetrycommunity #DailyHaikus

An emotional haiku about a quiet heart holding many stories and reflecting on the feeling that finds us today.

"Imperfect".

Latest in a sequence "To Be Continued"; each starts with the last line of another poet's poem. (Very much a first draft.)

@sixtyoddpress.bsky.social

	(first line from John Curry's “Small Seconds” in "Odd" 1:3)


                                       the small seconds dropped into place
                                 snug in the spaces left for them

it’s in the calm before the storm
         that damage strikes
                                    and like the tingle in a tongue before a sneeze
                                                                                 the world fizzed
                                                                 each separated interval of time
                                                                                      a little bomb
                                                                                              exploding

                                                                                            recognition
                                                                        of the fear to come
                                                            days   weeks   months
                                           or even decades later

The person I could have been.

White poem text on a black background with purple smoke. It reads: "I miss the image they built of me in their head. The image I could have been, but instead I self-destructed all over again. Losing not only them, but the person I could have been." Signed @poetickirby, bottom left.

AI‑generated emails are flooding writer inboxes with fake flattery, invented book titles, and fabricated awards. I break down what they look like, how to spot them, and what to do next. buff.ly/ozcYRag

Turgescent Twilight by Shikhandin

Where twilight deepens, the human soul unravels—revealing beauty, terror, and truth in equal measure.

the weight of the world
is hard
to carry around.

tied to my neck
is the
mill stone
of my cares.

in the whole wide
world
there is nowhere
to go.

waiting to catch
a lift.

to put my burden down.

Parents Weekend

Let's workshop this poem about a father and daughter confronting a shared history, an unspoken buildup over a decade, at a house party whose anonymity requirements enable the most addictive healing.
