By Chris Burrage Weary of the earth He leaves for the stars Pulls on ropes long shed Of taught, strong sinew. Ladders to places Long unseen and fraught With passages lost, Peopled by brethren All wandering weary.   #darkpoetsclub #smallspacedeepimpact #50wordchallenge

By Li Alves Anchor words. Phrases held in short memory. Neither guilt, nor echoes. Only I and my breath Can save me from my childhood So that I am not A mere consequence   #darkpoetsclub #smallspacedeepimpact #50wordchallenge

By D A Angelo                  I dive into myself  like a kingfisher                               convinced  there must still be fish, despite  the river being barren                                    for years.   #darkpoetsclub #smallspacedeepimpact #50wordchallenge
