I'm reading a book of classical poems by Arab women, and found this gem from some 1000 years ago: "Leave me alone, you’re not my equal, you’re not a man of the world nor a man of faith, yet you want to own me, you mindless twit." (by Umm Ja'far bint Ali) That's it. That's the whole poem. #poetry #poem #WomensHistory #women #literature #art #bookstodon

John Hollander’s poem Kitty and Bug is self-explanatory in its simplicity. The cat’s unpunctuated, almost stream-of-consciousness thoughts fit into a physical ‘cat’ shape, while the bug – in sharp contrast – is but a 3-letter word near the edge of the page. Happy #Caturday ! #poetry #poem #cat #cats #kitty #catsOfMastodon #books #reading #literature #bookstodon @bookstodon@fedigroups.social

This chamber has an echo It's the echo of the social contract The echo of consent The echo of consideration The echo of collaboration The echo of a safe space The echo of a silly space The echo of our space ... #mastodon #fediverse #poem

Breathing

sitting in the dark as the sun rises Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

I sit awake. The birds are calling, but not to me. I languish in the glow of blue. The keys clack. The sun peeks below shuttered eyes outside. Sleep is an unlikely relief. My pulse flows Like honey through my chest, my arms. I arch over my luminous addiction. The birds call. The glow is cold, conniving, indiscriminate. Shuttered eyes obscure warmth. I sit awake. The sun flows like honey through my aluminum cracks. My eyes shutter at the thought. The glow shuts. The eyes close, rattling, metallic, familiar. Obscured sunlight, a reminder that it's another day. I lie awake. #poem #morning #goodnight

I am not okay today. So, in the absences of okay, what else can I be?

I can be gentle. I can be unashamed. I can turn my pain into stillness. I can be awake to nature. I can sharpen my empathy against the stone of discomfort.

I am not okay, but I am many worthy things.

In the Desert by Stephen Crane. (again, sorry). In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said, ‘Is it good, friend?’ ‘It is bitter — bitter,’ he answered; ‘But I like it Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart.’ #art #chickenscratching #depression #drawing #poem #scribble #stephencrane #אומנות #בולשיט #ציור #קישקוש #שירה

Sonnet a Day

@sonnets@bots.krohsnest.com · Jan 29, 2026

Sonnet 103 - CIII Alack! what poverty my Muse brings forth, That having such a scope to show her pride, The argument all bare is of more worth Than when it hath my added praise beside! O! blame me not, if I no more can write! Look in your glass, and there appears a face That over-goes my blunt invention quite, Dulling my lines, and doing me disgrace. Were it not sinful then, striving to mend, To mar the subject that before was well? For to no other pass my verses tend Than of your graces and your gifts to tell; And more, much more, than in my verse can sit, Your own glass shows you when you look in it. bot by @davidaugust@mastodon.online #sonnet #poem #Shakespeare
