“In the dream” cotton blooms in red and yellow with violets of incandescence. in the dream i see no folly in their prose. my feet grow bare in the swallowing river and the little brightness that floats near glides by the bank. works by @awitchsnest

Cruelty. glory is facetious and honor is a trick. daggers can easily be painted yellow gold to hide their cut. these people do not care for you, only the victory, when you stand between paint and what was promised them. works by @awitchsnest

Use ‘cursed’ and ‘thieves’. the trees pulls at the backdrop sky, and the ground seems further away. a cursed forest is just a forest, the shadows a similar length. Yet, fear scares greed and the knots of old branches have eyes. they care not for thieves. works by @awitchsnest

Use the word ‘pear’. he stumbles through dreams, face placid. you wonder where he is. the curve of his lips, like a pear, the desire to partake pulls you, gently, to touch the smooth lines. he twitches and purses his mouth. his dream is full of fruit. works by @awitchsnest

Black out Poem of a song. “Billie Eilish: You should see me in a crown” my tongue mine visions cold eyes. silence one town falls. blood dying pretty. crowns bow marble walls. pretty pretty. Works by @awitchsnest Song by Billie Eilish

Base a poem on a recent text message. “Did I get weird?” ageless fears of abandonment, death at the claws of the home. all the sections of self, mashed into a solid soul. terrified of the cracks aghast at the odd, it tries immensely to drown the most shining parts. Works by @awitchsnest

ABCB rhyme scheme – love. i always wanted to be here in the arms of support like this. you have loved me solidly and given me real bliss. you hunger for all my pieces, dear. there is respect and light in your kiss. our love is not tied bodily but lies in caverns that twist…

A city you never want to see again. walls of splintered trust and innocence bleeding, i wander through the fields and broken glass windows. the paint peels on the weathered store while rain crushes me. home is so far away, and my feet feel nothing. works by @awitchsnest.

Personify an emotion. nostalgia. wispy pastel hues of candy and muddy knees with black eyes from table corner sharp. music of childhood from her mouth laced with laughter. broken hopes and lost dreams dance in her eyes, but a smile drips down her chin. works by @awitchsnest

List reasons to live. sunshine in my lover’s cotton hair. wind creeping across my cheek. changed behavior. bright pink laughter of friends. kisses that warm my lungs. pushing paint across the canvass and sewing poems. crossing off lists. Works by @awitchsnest
