She arrived at the point where the #Delta formed. She knew this was where all the things that seemed lost would be found. She discovered her mum's engagement ring shimmering in the water, a love letter from her first relationship and her heart.

As we rise up, the jagged mountain range shrinks to the size of termite nests. Sunlight flashes off the surface of the ocean that goes way further than I imagined. And the great river #delta that until now was my whole world looks tiny.
I just hope the dragon doesn't notice me on its back.

I'm curious...

Where do you all write/organize/store your poetry?

And keep track of prompt hashtags?

In a particular app?

On paper in boxes?

Write spontaneously on BlueSky?

The tides carve out and in
the lips of the #delta rivers bend
kissing the sand in different places
nothing's stable at the end
nothing hard and steadfast
breezes blowing in
warm and inviting
wander there that scented grass
but beware
no one builds on the estuary

‘This sweet drink reminds me of my college days.’

‘Oh yeah? I bet you were in a sorority.’

Yep. I was a #Delta.’

‘That explains a lot.’

‘Didn’t you have a favorite drink in college?’

‘Yeah, mine was iced mocha.’

‘You mean the latte?’

‘No, I smoke alotta weed.’

#vss365 🚪 #delta
To the baddest sirens
from the tall Phoenician
daleth, meaning door:

she approached the river
delta, the Nile landform's
triangular mouth, from

left to right, like a fair
look through the eyes
of a book: no omega;

no alpha; only two—
her poetic distinction;
debunking extinction.

Sea salt and shells
Fear of what's beneath
Sticky boots or bare feet
The delta oozes choice
Sails and fins in the distance
Land or water
Which it is changes with every thought
The waders more sure than I
Searching for choice morsels
At their food bar
#vss365

washed ashore
lost on the #delta
the vastness like a caul
suffocating
heavy

watching for sails
for any tiny hope
that you'll make it here

You squander your longings and arrive at an unrecognizable Delta that lures you in, promising everything that's been missing.

That's when you turn away.

#vss365 #Delta

After our long journey together
when speed of life
came down
some #delta appeared
amongst us
those were however
fertile with the
love and emotions
of our journey together
look beautiful flowers
are growing on them
look how our love is smiling
just before we meet the sea
#vss365

Delta of our love
Emotions spread way too far
Dying embers glow

#vss365 #delta #haiku #poetry

In the sediment
Of daylight,
I stopped a while
With a creature
Of the #Delta,
Guarding a threshold,
A triad of pathways
To the unknown,
As the ingress
Of night
Obscured
The purple twilight
And became
A floodplain
Of immeasurable
Starlight.

#VSS365 #Writing #Poetry

there’s a poetic #delta between
the known and unknown
seen and unseen
that binds and enriches us
teaches us
reaches us
in ways to make us
understand
in ways that gives us
command
over living dreams
lustful schemes
under luscious, luminous
moonbeams
that mere human survival
dares us
demand

On break, needfully puffing on their cigarettes, the nurses contemplated that their ward was the delta of exhaustion; every smile ended there, every tear began there. They were strong; however, and bucked up to keep going.

The UFO had been stuck in the river for as long as anyone could remember. The water split around it like a #delta or a small island.

Kids would dare each other to swim out and try to open the hatch on top. Ricky claimed he got inside, but that alien skull could have come from anywhere.
