Only poetry, especially haiku, 🥰 the old masters... drawn by your goodwill and your friendship I unfollow hate’s poison wherever I sense it upon the wind.

All their calls are lies
first firefly"

Lay withered poems ~
on her grave ~
to hear the rustle ~
in the years ~
that yearn

3:23 am

each hospital room
hollowed out
new televisions
radiate
old cartoons
chattering
shuffling shadows
across faded faces

no one here is young
no one here wants to dream

i lap the dark floor
again
again

a thin man
in a thin tie
slips into a wall

here
i am the ghost

@Eve_Castle I have the sweetest fondness for Issa... the sweetest of all.

always softening /
the whisper in her smile /

@itsbiankahaha have never felt ‘warmed’ by catcalls... smiles however I collect those and I care not who shares one with me... they touch me deeply 🌸

“OK, let’s be honest here; #fireworks are kind of the worst. They’re loud, they drive your dog crazy, pollute the air and make babies cry.”

RT @CNN: Fed up with fireworks? Here are some #alternative ways to celebrate the #FourthofJuly. https://t.co/vabCZZ85Om

@JackieYunTweets @CNN Absolutely loathe firework noise so completely without conscience, when one considers the stress on our environment, wildlife, pets, and veterans .
