Was it that dinner
that poisoned me
those mushrooms
served up with a sweet sauce
or was it all those wild walks
with agitated conversations
so fraught
was it my cold heart
at the start of Fall

best mushroom soup ever
was written mashroom soup on the board
by the polack from kraków
who took over the storefront
next to the vacant news stand
the guy who literally hammered chicken
and fried potato pancakes
you could almost see through
@sonnetsmith.bsky.socialToday - October 15th - Is National #Mushroom day in the UK and US
So #Poetry, #Prose, and #Artwork about #Mushrooms please!

@ctrlaltdltffs.bsky.socialSuch a dumb fear. I don't know where it came from.
@sifaswriting.bsky.socialSpooky season
dark and mysterious
I have no #fear
of ghosts and demons
witches and goblins
the dead do not care
I am actually more
frightened of
the devils who are
still living
@sifaswriting.bsky.socialCan a #spinning top
last forever?
Waver on a single
fragile point
Defy gravity by
sheer will
One brief stutter
hesitation
will make it all
crash down
@johnchmura.bsky.social#SomethingEveryday #SpinningTops @sonnetsmith.bsky.social
My youth is a tilt-a-whirl of memory.
The spinners the four tops the box tops,
I know they were all big stars in the day
but trying to place their hits
I reach out and they aren’t there.
I can’t help myself.
Maybe I need a rubber band, man.
@jenthorne.bsky.socialI realised I have a lot of poems about #Pain. It's a big feature in my life!
This one is my favourite ❤️
@sonnetsmith.bsky.socialToday - October 14th - is international #Top #Spinning day. So let your #SpinningTops loose with #poetry, #prose, and #artwork about these well loved toys!

@johnchmura.bsky.social#SomethingEveryday #Fear @sonnetsmith.bsky.social I tagged feat instead of fear. I hope that’s why only @spanishtom.bsky.social hearted it. I hope I didn’t cross a line quoting and attaching audio of my dead friend. Maybe a little background would help.
@madi-faith.bsky.social; we outgrow the childhood fear
of monsters under the bed
once we learn that
the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 monsters
walk among us.
no sharp teeth or jagged claws;
the monsters we 𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 to fear
wear human faces //
pure evil concealed
behind a mask of humanity.
@sheilaeh.bsky.socialhere comes the Executioner
dressed in red white and blue
hosting holiday entertainment
to premiere on pay-per-view
the Nutcracker will be performed
with firing squad deployed
this year we’ll serve the Christmas ham
with a side of schadenfreude
@johnchmura.bsky.social#SomethingEveryday #Feat @sonnetsmith.bsky.social
you can’t live in fear
you end up killing yourself
or giving yourself a heart attack
he said before his fatal heart attack
my wife hates me playing
him talking about alien robots
i maybe knew him best
but i can’t tell
if he was full of shit or not

@sifaswriting.bsky.socialThe man in the bookstore
took one look at me
and said
"Bards know Bards."
We talked about
lutes and lyres
harps and dulcimers
poetry and songs
Despite centuries
music and storytelling
still sing loud
#SomethingEveryday #poetry #music #writing #writingcommunity
@sifaswriting.bsky.socialShe comes to me
all nervous
and tells me
I tell her
that I've known
for a very long time
She is my child
no matter what
her pronouns are
or how she dresses
@sifaswriting.bsky.socialSome days are fine
other days my head
is full of fog
my fingers do not
work the way
they're supposed to
my joints scream
they all tell me
to move, move, move
it will feel better
take more vitamins
and hot showers
when all I want to do
is sleep.
