Fresh

Pristine rivers hold
afterglow of alpenglow,
spry wrens soaring
toward an onward horizon,
sweetness filling the orchard
maple seeds spin in cool air
dew sparkles on flowering meadows,
abundance coming into season
nature's bequest

Lights on the prairie
the only diner around
in the #opendistance
for miles and miles
yet somehow
and mysteriously
it remains open.
Sit and have a meal
before you journey on.

#BSPP57 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

Open distance all
Around, not a friend to be
Found outside the screens.

open distance
closes here

where your warmth
finds me

among these
burning flowers

in the dark

#BSPP57 #poetry

the sun
leaves its
light in Tuscany
ripens grapes for wine
imbues gold glitter
glued to children’s art

the light
lengthens shadows
crowns a penumbra
hides behind clouds
catches the corners
of drishti eyes

#BSPP57 #leavinglight #poetry

Ghastly hounds howl
scarecrow slowly raises its arms,
niitpicking whispers surface
skulls murmur of ancient curses,
spirits trapped within the vault ache
the walls hold their suspended breath
seeking the witch's favor
begging
for reprieve

If you are #leaving,
#lights go off!
It doesn't take
much effort
to flip the switch!
The theatre is silent
the stage is empty
the performance
isn't done until
the last actor has left
the building!

Saying goodbye to
The leaving light, another
Night winning the fight.

leaving light
behind

headights
illuminate
the city

a pale glow
felt rather
then seen

it's enough
to keep
everyone

moving along

#BSPP57 #poetry

The adventurer always
looks #onward
#horizon always beckons
the dawn promises
new experiences
with each passing day
the world still has
so much to see
and so much to offer

#BSPP57 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

So we go on to the onward horizon
tripping over our feet
singing songs of destiny
creeping like shadows
repeating our names
feeling in the mist
just making our way

stars hidden from view
thunder in the far distance
clouds echo with rain
and we dwell safely at home
waiting for the sun to shine

#haiku #tanka #micropoetry #bspp57

Onward horizon,
Forever beyond my grasp,
Drowning as I am.
#BSPP57 #OnwardHorizon #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity
@blueskypoetry.bsky.social

with the sun
behind me

and the fields
at rest

the path ahead
opens wider

Onward....Horizon!!

#BSPP57 #poetry

The surf retreats
in its #distantwake
only to reverse course
and go again and again
reaching the sand
extend farther with the tide
but it cannot stay there
it always has to return

#BSPP57 #poetry #writing #writingcommunity

are we born twice?
where do we go?

the drops that rise
to peak and fall
back to the sea
ripples to waves

the fish that ride
the #distantwake

#BSPP57 #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoet #Poetry

Raging gusts test
the chimney’s flames,
biting cold forcing
the tenacious birch to renounce,
footsteps fading beneath
the heavy snowfall,
a lonesome swallow perches
on a forgotten postbox
its cry drifting into silence.

During Autumntide a Hidden crossing opens. Many sages, using Wooden staffs, search for The Elixir

An arrow of fire
From the distant wake, sombre
Viking funeral.
