...and as I travelled the world I watched the ultras chant, An ocean of colour in the Azteca, Spinning umbrellas on the River Plate. I wasn’t bothered with the usual propaganda, I wanted the heat of modern culture. ULTRA BOYZ #vss365 #travel

I believe there Is more to the World than what’ We can see, feel and touch, New words are yet to exits’ Feelings that don’t Have a name yet, Heart that need to Be touched and loved.

#Taletober2026 Día 25 «Febril» Y quisiera poder rendirme tan sólo a esta carne febril que me recuerda dónde habito; no lo que soy. Quisiera ahuyentar a los demonios y ser arenga de enardecida luz en esta oscuridad y fría batalla por sobrevivir. Porque no quiero [sobre]vivir. Quiero vivir; sin prefijos; sin excusas; sin armaduras; ༄ desnuda ༄ en esta loca cordura que me mantiene fiel a lo que soy. Ginebra©® 📷Gianluca Moretto

Short leaves, #tapering to a point on one end covered the gigantic monument on the hill. The vines had probably grown over a period of many years. Two moons shone over it. It hummed gently and its crystalline surface just visible under the leaves, reflected the moonlight. #vss365

#vss365 #taper I may need a tapper here. My dear followers please get Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony, and Power in Japanese Art authored by Hikari and me. Link: amazon.com/Haiku-Tanka-Harmo… Archived in the Museum of Modern Japanese Literature and Preeminent Institutions 
Proudly archived in the Museum of Modern Japanese Literature and the Museum of Poetry, Haiku and Tanka, "Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony and Power in Japanese Art" is a prestigious poetry and art album that gracefully bridges Eastern and Western sensibilities.

Experience an enchanting, cross-cultural collaboration between Japanese artist Hikari and award-winning American poet Gabriela Marie Milton. Together, they invite readers on a vivid, boundary-transcending journey through tradition, perspective, and creative imagination.

A Dialogue of Image, Word, and Culture •The Eastern Lens: Hikari’s masterful, kinetic paintings immerse you in the splendor of Japanese art, each brushstroke echoing the depth of cultural heritage and historical narrative. Her accompanying tanka, deeply rooted in Japanese tradition, transports readers to landscapes of profound spiritual introspection. •The Western Response: In brilliant contrast, Gabriela Marie Milton’s evocative haiku offers a fresh Western perspective—crafted in direct response to Hikari’s artwork. Her concise, profound verses highlight the magnificence and subtlety captured on the canvas. Why This Album is a Must-Have: •Artistic Perspectivism: View the exact same artwork through two distinct cultural lenses, uncovering the rich, infinite possibilities of artistic dialogue. •A Feast of Kinetic Beauty: The album dazzles the senses with miraculous colors, powerful movement, and deeply lyrical language that stirs the soul. •Archival Excellence: Recognized for its immense cultural significance, this volume stands as a celebrated monument to international artistic harmony. "Haiku and Tanka: Lull, Harmony and Power in Japanese Art" is more than a book; it is a celebration of the transformative power of words and images. Discover this splendid album, embrace the fusion of East and West, and let poetry and fine art fill your soul. #haiku #haikuandtanka #gabrielamariemilton #musrumofhaikuliterature #hikariart #tanka @LR_Publisher

I did not cease to grieve all at once; it tapered, a candle guttering toward its wick, each dawn a lesser ache, a quieter lament. Today I uttered your name, and the old tremor, long spent, never stirred. #vss365 #tapered @OurPoetryX

They can keep the smoke, the ashes, the lies... I wear my chaos in custom-made highs. Let them judge, let them choke on the view... I didn’t rise above them. I outgrew. #MyDarkScribbles🖊
Replying to @ArtiTweets
They watch you leave, they watch you rise, With steady steps and cooler eyes. Let them keep the smoke and grit You are far too high for it.🌹

Unspoken The unspoken words haunt him. The clueless roads weaken the strength he once felt before their paths separated. Now, his success has reached new heights, yet a void aches within his heart. He wishes she would come. -Priyambana ✨ @bionicanadian @13thWordSmith
Unwritten Verse The road crossed their paths. They looked back at each other, Familiar faces, As if they had never met before. Again, the same path. A glance, The lost memories, Unspoken words, Unwritten verses, Unsent letters. They walked Their paths alone again. -Priyambana ✨ #PoeVive @bionicanadian @FoxProse @13thWordSmith #vss365
