#5lines — Public Fediverse posts

a blustery day
while the wind tries very hard
to steal my hat away,
Glaucous-winged Gulls
hang motionless

#poetry #gogyohka #5lines #mpy

three people
lost in their own worlds
on the same bench
facing the ocean
staring at paperbacks

#poetry #gogyohka #mpy #5lines #book #ocean

two young women
sitting on a bench
joyfully painting
watercolours
in the rain

moving stealthily
between shadows and light
black-tailed deer
playing night games
with the motion sensor

#poetry #gogyohka #mpy #5lines

with the rain gone
sun hangs low in the sky
unfurled umbrella
blocks the rays
and the scenery

= vespers of brief mortality =

tomorrow always waits
yesterday laments our swift departure
today is
but a brief encounter
lost in swirling steam

eight drummers
beat the earth's heart
two bumblebees
carry the pulse
to the flowers
