#Supporting #Prompters #blueskyrelay #prompt 9/1 #depth #poetrycommunity @fluxofmind.ca host 8/27-9/2 The absent cruel world its weight we must bear. Reveals the #depth we’ve always known. What lies beneath surface;soft and sure. Is it our sentient lives or transient lies? #arw-raw w/ #artissttree
Only you decide when a poem is complete, it can morph forever with you, or freeze a moment (or multiple moments) in the time it was made. I *personally* like this as is - it certainly conveys the experience of all-emcompassing fear, I feel it as I read. Thank you for sharing!
Not sure how I feel about this one I’m sure I’ll end up tweaking it one day. The depth of my fear Feels like a tunnel Unending Unnerving Brief moments Of hoping the light is near Unending Unnerving it’s never here
😅 yay for boundaries!
No worries at all! You as well!
Trump and his cronies enjoy in #depth discussion. You know I jest, right? #BlueskyRelay #Depth #HaikuChallenge #Haiku #Senryu #Poetry #News #MicroPoetry #Resist #Trump #USPOL #USPolitics #Politics
Is there a word for shallower than shallow for such 'discussions'? 😂 Love the political jab 👏
The heights of where we started The depths of where we've come We were strong and open-hearted The top is not for everyone We can't all have grand success Some dreams only cause pain Accept our humble averageness Relieve ourselves of shame and blame #BlueSkyRelay #Depth #Poetry
Being the main character in your own story is a beautiful thing. We can't all be main characters in the world's story, and thats fine. Great poem 👏
Lovely pondering poem 💕👏
soon obligated to bare the depths of my past to get through the gates #vss365 #prompt #past #vssdaily #bare #BlueSkyRelay #depth #Emoetry #Obligated #haikufeels #soon
So different, yet so similar... lovely poem 👏
Beautiful poetry, Katira! Live your work! Today's BlueSkyRelay prompt word is depth, if you wanna give that a try 😊
My poems don't tend to conform to my plans, either. I tell them what I want, they tell me what they want, and we have to compromise! 😅 love your poem, as always 🌊👏
I wanted to write a Spensarian Sonnet... But tentacled beasties aren't really the type to conform like that. #blueskypoet #poem #blueskyrelay #depth
A darkly beautiful journey into the depths of mortality awareness 👏
Dark thoughts circling my mind taking me down to new depths Clinging on to a rock sharks circle the church bell tolls thoughts of mortality stretch out in my head #blueskyrelay #depth
My first word no Carved a pattern Stocked my ammo They must all earn My yes or go Meeting adjourned Won't just follow 'Til in an urn #MPPrompt #Poem #Nomeansno #Boundaries
Stories I don’t tell my children so that we can sleep nights I try not to wonder what it means, these years of nightmares about breathing underwater. As if survival were more than a metaphor. The #depth and stain of fight, only paper chains. @fluxofmind.ca #BlueSkyRelay @blueskyrelay.bsky.social
Heavy ponderings. Well done 👏

I am so excited for this to come out, I am one of the artists involved - if you love Lord of the Rings and/or art, you'll want to know about this HUGE project☺️☺️ youtube.com/shorts/J5cNk... #LordOfTheRings #LOTR #Andymation #flipbook #art #PeterJackson #Movie
The sample of that is now on my Kindle, so it's officially on the reading list ☺️

So much work to pretend. Great poem 👏👏
Hands #calloused from attempting to endlessly mold pleasant thoughts, instead tossing the misshapen lumps into the #depths; don’t return, don’t return; the exercise begins anew, perhaps we just accept what’s there #wordedart #ourpoetryx #blueskyrelay #poetry
Love this! We must be wary of these wily narrators 👏
In the depths Monsters await Shying from The light of day In caves and crevices Or a deep dark bay But the depth of a soul Is where they conflate Becoming the worst And starting to narrate Our lives #blueskyrelay #depth
... I'm liquid, like wine, #depth of burgundy, a rich, spicy bouquet... #BlueSkyRelay #poem #poetry #BlueSkyPoetry #BlueSkyPoets
Ann, this is incredible. This is absolutely what school does. So well done 👏
Ignoring our bodies is done at our own expense... wise Haiku 👏

Fantastic, as always! Hoping to read from the beginning, soon, ro see where it all began! 👏
Stunning 👏
Sometimes, to protect ourselves, we sever our connection to ourselves. I personally believe we are still in there, though, waiting to feel safe enough to reconnect 💕 lovely poem, very meaningful👏
A #past When you asked of me A task for me To #bare it all I didn’t care You see I had no #depth Nothing below Nothing resided Inside I cried Well, I tried to Fake it Make myself relive A memory or Take one Maybe from TV Alex P Keaton Always had Something for me #vss365 #blueskyrelay #vssdaily
Magical ✨️🧜♀️🧜♂️👏
Your words make a lovely frame for your memory 👏
#blueskyrelay #depth There was a time I spent a lot of time At the Gawler swimming pool Cold water Olympic sized fifty metres One mile a day they called it Training at five each morning Forty laps before school One time I sank down and looked up No need to breathe Life was long And full of depth
Definitely a long way down! Nice job 👏
#BlueSkyRelay #depth (First published in FromOneLine - The Unseen, kobayaashi.wordpress.com/fromoneline-...)
«We are out of our #depth here.» Antin said. «We can’t help them» ‘what is happening was always going to happen,’ Nyx replied, our present is the point where changes can be made, this is just us visiting the #past, any changes we make already happened. We must return home’ #blueskyrelay #vss365
Ah, the time travel moral quandary 👏👏
Thank you 😊
Hi friends! My week is almost up - this has been a lot of fun. Starting Sep. 3 your host will be @odragonku.bsky.social Here is your #BlueSkyRelay #prompt for Sep. 1: #DEPTH A distance downward from a surface/top. 🔆🔆🔆 Let your words grasp at the abyss. 🌌
#BlueSkyRelay prompt goes live in 1 hour, but if you can't wait, possibly you can figure it out from one of these clues: EFQUI Divers emerge - panting, tired, happy.
I clasp my hands and fidget And imagine each sliding digit Humming music like a cricket Playing legs for all the thicket #SenseWrds #Poem #Prompt 113
☺️☺️ Its a fascinating bird that I would love to see in real life, some day 💭🪽
Very interesting! Maybe you'll come across that species one day, then ☺️✨️ Its odd that German Wikipedia has missed this, though 🤔
I'd never heard of the #guillemot before, there isn't even a Wikipedia page on him in my native language. I look him up anyway & suddenly miss him in my life & hope to one day meet the little black fellow & make a new feathery friend #BlueSkyRelay
👏👏They look adorable, right? I would love to see one in real life. What is your native language, if you don't mind my asking?

Great bird of the sea Regales tales of the oceans. Audience approves. #blueskyrelay #guillemot #haiku
Oh, to be in that audience! 👏👏
Gorgeous tableau 😍👏
Parked on a flat rock The spectacled #guillemot Basks in sea breezes #BlueSkyRelay #Senryu #Haiku #Poetry
I did not know about St. Kilda - I just looked it up. Fascinating! ☺️👏
they scaled the cliffs of St. Kilda in 1923 to gather the eggs of the guillemot to sustain them through winter’s freeze #BlueSkyRelay #prompt #guillemot
All I ever wanted Was to watch the Guillemot chicks Born on rocky cliffs Jump off their perch And parachute down Falling to the ground Flapping little wings So dramatically To land on a soft belly And bounce #blueskyrelay #guillemot
Awe! Love it!💕🪽✨️👏
#BlueSkyRelay I wanted to challenge you with guillemot, and wow, you have all really rose to the challenge. Don't worry, I'm going easier on you, tomorrow 😅
They're cute, but only semi-formal! 😂 👏
Loud cries from the cliff, A million tuxedo birds, Yet not one wears a tie? 🐧 👔 #BlueSkyRelay #DailyPrompt #Guillemot #PoetrySky #ThreeLines #MicroPoem #TuxedoBird #Irony #Unexpected #Wit #Seabird #NaturePoetry #BirdPoem

Intriguing! Makes me want to turn the page, for sure! 👏
I'm the host for BlueSkyRelay this week - I would love to have you participate! Feel free to reach out with any questions 😊
When faced with a prompt like #Guillemot my only answer is to go to nonsense. My Grandma was a Guillemot A Chatterian #Sonnet (A form created by @cdotjuniper.bsky.social, and one which I absolutely love!) #poetry #blueskypoet #poem #blueskyrelay
😂😂 love it!👏
We were walking along the Great Atlantic Way in the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge in Saco, Maine when I got hit by something. Splat. A guillemot landing on the rock above me had lightened her load before landing. When she stopped laughing, Eílis said it was good luck. Sure. #blueskyrelay
Enrapturing! I love this origin scene you have illustrated - it reminds me a bit of the origin stories in C.S. Lewis' "The Magician's Nephew"
"Command + Space: Terminal" is my response to #poem + #prompt 035 hosted by @neonpajamas.bsky.social and #naked #Emoetry @mwplovesmusic.bsky.social #yern @bowengreenwood.bsky.social #vss365 @vss365hq.bsky.social #GUILLEMOT @fluxofmind.ca #BlueSkyRelay @blueskyrelay.bsky.social #BlueSkyPoets
Wow, nonsense works! I was so absorbed in the story and imagery, and the metaphor definitely extends beyond nonsense. So good 👏👏
I was laughing so hard my partner came to see and laughed, too. I love this 👏
The guillemot rises Terrorizes The land and the sea The children flee At the very sight The might of this Creature it’s Features unspeakable As it lashes out with It’s….tentacles? I might be thinking Of something else #blueskyrelay #guillemot #poetry #writingcommunity
😅✨️
I love the vivid imagery in this - my ADHD mind can so relate to this brand of tumult. Well done 👏
yearning wistful thoughts tumbling through a mind made of marble like guillemots drunk on sunshine and spoiled berries must be sign of the times fiery ideas leaving vapour trails across his conscience burning worlds yet you keep on pouring gasoline #vss365 #BlueSkyRelay #poetrycommunity
Can they? Lovely poem 🪽👏
Do you bring messages from the Gods as you streak across the sky or dive deep down into the sea can you really do as some say help us understand ourselves better can you really help those who are lost find peace and joy again #guillemot #BlueSkyRelay
Wistful, vivid imagery. Nicely done! 👏
The #kudzu covered trees blocked his view of the open #flat land #between the mountains. At least they let him paint & he had almost finished his #guillemot #abstract, a reminder of what birds looked like & how he #yearned to be free like them. #vss365 #vssdaily #whistpr #2wordprompt #blueskyrelay
