Rising ocean fog
bared an almost authentic
Greek mythical scene

Sirens on coastal Rocks - Aobram

Toki toki dit le réveil

BONNE NUIT LE #fediverse
JE VOUS AIME !

Constant

The stars don't refuse
to shine on your pain; neither
will I turn away.

© Simon J Ashcroft, 2025

I have no idea
what you want to hear from me
I can’t read your mind

You expect me to just know
and fulfill your every wish

Awoke still shouting
Vivid visions fading fast.
A thin barrier.

Since genesis of mankind
men have always rejected women's
authentic autonomy

Once upon a time at the nude Beach - Aobram
(for explanation see ALT)

born of soil and grit
tender sprouts
learn to harden

A blanket of grey
pulled back: beds baptized by rain —
Resurrection blooms

I also updated my website with the Under the Bashō publication. Usually I don't link to the website because it seems bloody-minded not to just link directly to the publication, but in this case I really like the pic I found to go with it. https://joannemerriam.com/2025/04/14/under-the-basho-publication/

My senryu “leaning against my mother” appeared today in Under the Bashō 2025: https://underthebasho.com/the-journal/under-the-basho-2025/haiku.html

Endgame Rules

My life rusts away,
and the one I sought is lost,
far beyond recall.

incompetent king
impotent to fix problems
can't but deny them

bankruptcy's oft his next tool
but grace won't likely follow

BOOBIES

I'd just like to say
With the weather warming up
Hooray for boobies!

In times that constraint
claimed daylight, freedom allured

Moonlight Serenade - Aobram

We are born screaming,
For air, food, shelter, and love.
Keep making that noise.

For masculine energy.

Ooievaar strijkt neer
op het dak van een woning;
