No words! Just squees of immense joy and gratitude 🙏🥰💕

You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

Sometimes the break in rhythm is where liberation begins. This week’s Voice of Valo(U)r finalists understood that disruption is not always destruction. The mightiest words do not wound, but awaken ⬇️ freeonlinesurveys.com/s/PT7mZjh2

@Jim_dEntremont @The_PoetryArena “What do we bring into this world when we come? What can we bring out of it when we’re gone?” — if I break even, I’m calling it a win 😉💛

@The_PoetryArena #BornBattleReady SYNCOPATION

@Craazylife @The_PoetryArena Ce poème fait bien plus que ce que sa brièveté laisse supposer. Les vers courts créent une sensation de pensée fragmentée, nous entraînant dans un terrier de désorientation menant à l’effondrement de ce qui était tenu pour absolu. C’est un existentialisme surréaliste 👏👏👏

🕳️ Il divaguait Déambulait Sans savoir Ce qui l'attendrait Au carrefour Des calembours Un abreuvoir Où pleuvait Des leurres Au détour De peurs Sans espoir Morale des miroirs Déformant l'histoire D'une syncope noire ML 🫧 #MesÉcrits ⚔️ #Syncopation #BornBattleReady #Vss365

@The_BattleQueen I'm always the main suspect, and almost always the culprit..😁 I just get away with stuff cause people think small and cute equals harmless. They are wrong 😈

Cheeeeeese! 😁

@AuthorStew @The_PoetryArena Excellent wordplay. I’ve been here in my marriage before. Luckily, we both were able to learn new tools for emotional regulation and communication. But man, did those times produce some great poetry! 💛 youtu.be/1SmxVCM39j4?si…

@The_PoetryArena Our rhythms miss Beats hit out of time Like fist to the face Or bodies laying down Syncopated shouting match Symphonies swing sweetly Sour notes sung Everything screeches to a halt when we begin Bang Bang Boom Something falls Through the roof Through our home 1/2

@ItalicBoldDKR @The_PoetryArena THE way differs for everybody. Personally, I take my wine on the rocks in a frosted glass. Rosé or moscato, please 🍷💛

@The_PoetryArena #bornbattleready We live in symbols Find truth in dreams Abstractions convene In poetic schemes What you see Varies from me In juxtaposed syncopy. We recite from different stages All the glorious written phrases Pour your wine I'll swim in mine And in between We'll meet divine.

@Changedhandle1 @The_PoetryArena 👏👏👏💛

Syncopation The beat goes on and on and on We will rock But when will we A song sung forgotten Long ago The words off beat No longer resonate Hearts unflow It is too late There is no need to cry (syncopation) #BornBattleReady @The_PoetryArena That 👊

@HonestPassion13 @The_PoetryArena 🔥🔥🔥

@The_PoetryArena Bodies moving in tandem Breath in syncopation to the balanced beat of hearts and needs under a neon moon and lavender sky The urgency of love and passion in the span of a life too short for fruition And I bleed your name with my dying embers hoping you'll feel it #BornBattleReady

@ghostcatting @The_PoetryArena Yaaasssss. Lead them by example. Grow, my pretty. Grow 🌱😍💛✨

@The_PoetryArena seeds pushed into a different sort of ground arcane, with dark blessings, to pulse there with potential, to be nurtured there by black rain, feeling the thrumming call of life’s music in syncopation with the tender pulse that draws me up in beats of growth #bornbattleready

@Saffronsuncat If you’re a villain, consider me the epitome of evil 😆💛

@farbacktrading @The_PoetryArena @thesusanmoore Cheers, Berto ☀️☕️

@The_BattleQueen @The_PoetryArena @thesusanmoore ...clear my throat. Take a sip of special blue mountain crushed bean. Open my window to hear, keyboard clicks off younder. Nibble fingers type it. While raising my cup & saying thank U. Winking to writer pontificating words for a splendid comment. 🫵 made my day Tres. berto-

@jdog90 @The_PoetryArena Selfishly, I hope you never find it -- jazz and poetry both suit you! We are the blue sky. The raging clouds are simply passing patterns. Awareness is key. Remember to give yourself grace, my friend 🫂💛
