Beth!

Anytime! 😊

let's stay in bed today
let your fingers
explore the geography
of my curves

the word is bird
fat little fluff blurb
basking on a burl

#thingstowriteabout #bird #haiku #poetry #writing #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

little bird set free
released from controlling hands
finally flying

warm drool was pooling
ice pick through the eye socket
scrambled brains for breakfast

Thank you. Writing it out like this helps me deal with it.

they said she was garbage
waste of space, loser, nothing
she proved them all wrong

The Duolingo owl just twerked at me. I feel so violated...

Thank you. Things are ok for now. 🫶🏻

birds woke me
but I don't mind
and smile with the dawnsong

I don't wake up
alone anymore
we're right where we belong

Get some sleep and take care of yourself. The poetry will wait patiently.

And I'm planning on leaving this city later this year, which will make it harder for him to find me.

No. New username that I never used before I got this account. I may occasionally get squirrelly and change my profile pic. If I do have to delete this acct, I'll just make another. I'm not going to let him stop me from living my life.

we went to a new zoo where the elephants dance the tiger and walrus have a steamy romance koalas drink beer giraffes wear neckties the janitor's a gorilla - is that really wise? polar bears play with seals penguins sing showtunes I got to ride on a lion what a great afternoon!

Best zoo ever!

That's so creative - I love it!

Thank you! 😊

I did speak with an officer about such things, but there wasn't enough evidence. No bruises, no texts saying nasty things, he knew what he was doing and how to hide things. How to twist everything so that I'm crazy and lying. He is very good at manipulating people to get what he wants.

You and your dirty old man poems were missed!

Thank you! ☺️

can't bank on that bank
landslides happen often

she got home from school to find a pile of leaves taller than she was! she'd never seen one before Mama smiled and said, "go ahead, get in there." she grinned and backed up ran fast, faster, then - jumped as high as she could landing in soft, crunchy leaves she stood and, laughing, tossed handfuls of leaves upwards like an offering to nature a thank you for the immense joy of jumping into a pile of leaves for the very first time

A 5-year old blonde girl is in a huge leaf pile, throwing leaves into the air while jumping. She's dressed in all black.

Watching kids discover new things is awesome.

I know it's weird. My professor was disturbed and concerned for my mental health. But I still got an A.

I'm glad you're back. 🫂

Thank you, it's perfect! 😊

Thank you. Everything I wrote back then was sad. But I'm much better now!

Now go look at cat memes or videos of little kids swearing. 🫂

She smiled as she unlocked the door to her new house for the first time. Everything was shiny and new, despite the house being built in 1908. Outside it was sunny yellow with white shutters. Inside, the walls were pale blue and begging to be decorated. It was perfect! Well, except for one thing that she was unaware of. Deep in the bowels of the house grew something dark. Something wicked. It creeped slowly as it grew, turning every surface black. Soon it would enter her living space. All she needed to do was turn on the air. Spores would float through the entire home, landing everywhere, searching for a damp place to grow. Especially her lungs when she inevitably inhales them.

Something wicked this way comes...

Which one is it? For me it's Dr. Greene. Now I want to rewatch it.

Narcissism and being abused as a child. Abused kids sometimes grow up to be abusers.
