; a bitter wind bites; bare trees // leafless; vulnerable - skeletons exposed. branches dusted white with snow - winter coat brings no comfort to cold bones. barren trees envy the wise oak's thick foliage // frozen boughs crave warmth. #dailyhaikuprompt #haiku #poetry #writing #poem #photography

; flashback to my teens; wearing huge flared jeans on rainy days - soaked up every puddle and doubled in weight; day spent with soggy jeans; damp socks; wet knees. #7syllablesentence #wet

; Blandford has really been rolled in PVA glue and coated with red, white & blue glitter to impress the King & Queen. whole town adorned with bunting & union jack flags - desperate to hide that it's just the standard run-down market town. it's like patriotism has been vomited all over Blandford. 🙄

; dawn blooms // sunflower wakes - adjusts her petal crown; head raised to the sky. her face tilts; gazes up to greet her namesake // basks in her golden glow. #dailyhaikuprompt #sunflower #haiku #micropoetry #poetry #writing #writingcommunity #nature #flower #sun #naturephotography #photography

; tbf, this tweet is clearly just the outcome of a befuddled Lower-than-Lowe getting confused. he accidentally posted "Jude Bellingham" on twitter, thinking he was adding his name to the lengthy "deportation list" in his notes app, along with the names of half the players on the England team. 🤷🏻‍♂️

; a true 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘵 moment...

ha, this was literally my first thought too! 🤣

; sunlight awakens nature from hibernation // winter thaws to spring. plants peek through cracked earth; warmth heals the wounds of winter // flowers grow; blossom. #dailyhaikuprompt #hibernate #haiku #micropoetry #poetry #writing #writingcommunity #spring #nature #photography #naturephotography

; dunno why the police bother wasting their time launching investigations into high-profile murders when there is an army of dedicated temu detectives speculating wildly & spewing convoluted theories all over twitter. leave it to the social media sleuths - they'll have the case solved in no time! 🙄

; overgrown meadow; land forgotten; abandoned // seeds take root; plants grow. rebellion of nature // flowers bloom; fauna thrives; wild; feral; free. earth nurtured; wounds of human destruction healed; raw beauty in neglect. #dailyhaikuprompt #meadow #haiku #micropoetry #writing #photography

; this beast was chilling in our house last night, adamant he was going nowhere. spent ages trying to get him out & after much flapping (him) & terror (me) thought he'd gone, only to find him in the kitchen this morning. never seen such a huge moth in my life! #photography #moth #elephanthawkmoth

; warm sunbeams smile through raindrop tears // a prismatic blend of joy and woe. kaleidoscopic arch of colour paints a gray sky; bleak clouds brightened. #dailyhaikuprompt #rain #haiku #micropoetry #poetry #senryu #writing #writingcommunity #nature #rainbow #sky #photography #naturephotography

"i came here to drink milk and kick ass...

carousel horses inspired to break free; escape from the merry-go-round; trot; canter; gallop; squeals of delight from children who ride on their backs. #7syllablesentence #gallop

; one positive of the heatwave is that leaving the back door open all day means regular visits from this little beauty who lives next door! 🐈‍⬛ 🫶🏻 #cat #kitten #catlovers

; urgh. of all the little-known rural market towns in the entire county of Dorset, why do King Charles & Camilla have to visit mine? 👎🏻👑 #Blandford #BlandfordForum #Dorset

; ngl, i didn't have a cludeo-style "who killed Ann Widdecombe?" murder mystery on my 2026 bingo card...

; Rupert Lower-than-Lowe whinging about UK gun laws and how it isn't fair that his daddy had all his pistols taken away due to one pesky little murder. guaranteed he wouldn't be minimising the Dunblane school massacre as "one murder" if the perpetrator hadn't been a white, British man.

; the gammon kicking off about "invasions" failing to understand that Muhammad is the most common Islamic boy's name. if the majority of Muslim boys in the UK are named Muhammad, then proportionately it will be the most popular name. it doesn't mean that Muslims are "taking over". CONTEXT, ffs. 🙄

; ...it becomes curiouser and curiouser as to how it is possible to be too much too muchness - yet still never quite enoughness... ...and yet to lessen yourself is to lose yourself entirely. #aliceinwonderland #micropoetry #poetry #writing #writingcommunity #anorexia #eatingdisorder #recovery

🤣🤣 i look forward to hearing his wild manifesto for Clacton - how he would put any of it into practice if he were to win would be epic in itself! 99p price cap on 99 flake ice-creams, Binface to represent the UK at Eurovision, closing down any ship that plays Christmas music before Dec 1st etc etc

; some heroes do, in fact, wear capes. and bins. if Count Binface were to beat Farage in the Clacton by-election, it would be more epic a moment in British politics than the time he lost to that guy wearing a dolphin onesie!

; never underestimate the impact of giving a random compliment to a stranger. i've been stuck in a spiral of self-hatred and being told by a stranger, under no obligation to speak to me, that they like my hair was an unexpected confidence boost. a tiny sparkle in the darkness. really made my day. ✨

; the way that these cards perfectly summarise the two contrasting sides of my personality! ...dark humour with a sprinkle of whimsy. ♡

; the way that our postman has made a habit of "delivering" parcels by leaving them in the recycling bin. 🙄 happens so regularly, it is getting harder to resist the urge to leave a note telling him to GET IN THE BIN.

; unpopular opinion, but as 90s kid who loved Legally Blonde, i really enjoyed the show! Lexi Minetree was perfect as Elle. that said, it'd be better as a stand-alone series, rather than a prequel to the movie - so many plot holes! - but very relieved they it wasn't a remake of the original movie.

𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽; "you know who the number one person in Tic Tac is by far?Trump. me. i'm number one… Taylor Swift was number eleven. i'm number one!" seems legit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁; Trump has confused 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘭 with 𝘧𝘰𝘸𝘭. "i didn't think it was a foul. i'm good at this stuff - i know animals! i can identity a giraffe, a hippopotamus, a fish... it wasn't a foul! it was two guys. a lot of people don’t know this, but chickens have feathers! turkeys don't play football!" 🙃

; BREAKING! 🚨 man who doesn't understand that 𝙣𝙤 means 𝙣𝙤 also fails to grasp the meaning of a red card.
