#gogyohka — 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

#poetry #gogyohka #5lines #mpy #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

When you build
your castles in the air...
leave them free,
doors unlocked,
for others to play in

a babbling brook
aggregate of sounds
laughing, whispering, anticipation
children's voices
heading for the shore

(poetry shouldn't need to be explained, but most mornings we have a semi-organized huddle of little pink hats from a local daycare headed past our window...such a delight! 👒)

fine etchings, layered
with infinite detail,
unimaginable complexity
these festal, festive feathers...
Jack Frost at play

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

@jcnewmark I want to hear Mary Poppins singing that list! Doesn't rhyme though...
