Day 34 - Sunrises and Sunsets

The Daily Aftershock (Writing Prompt) ·

2025/05/19

What Rises in Youby Max Wallis for the days you don’t What rises in you, my body? Outside the window, May’s sun lifts again. But you do not. Breath returns only when it breaks: a gasp in jailed lungs, a throat packed with quiet. The clatter of builders, the hollow tick of a world that doesn’t wait. Everything has fallen, again. But less than yesterday. So stay. Name this hour. Slack light, before consequence. But this time: there are none. The sky still performs its silent rites rising,

The Good News is a masterclass in quiet resurrection. With the gentlest touch, Fasano reorients suffering not as failure, but as evidence of deep, persistent love. His invocation of Lazarus is not religious dogma, but an urgent metaphor for

The 'S' Word by Mark Antony Owen

The Daily Aftershock (Writing Prompt) ·

2025/05/12

Editorial Note by Max WallisThere are poems that circle a subject, and poems that walk straight into it. The ‘S’ word is a record of that moment, when someone says it out loud. Suicide. Not metaphor, not euphemism. And the shift it causes in the room, in the relationship, in the world. Mark Antony Owen captures the jolt of intimacy redefined: “I felt you as if new.” This poem doesn’t explain. It doesn’t resolve. It lets the weight of what was said linger in the air between two people. Some truths

The Daily Aftershock (Writing Prompt) ·

2025/05/11

Welcome to day 26 of the Daily Aftershock. Today I want you to know that embodiment can elevate your poetry beyond belief. What I mean by that, is the body is a language in itself and it remembers before the mind does. You can think of the body's betrayals and loyalties as powerful poetic ground. Did your hands stay still when you wanted to move them? Did your mouth open when it should have stayed shut? Sometimes the body is the metaphor. But sometimes metaphor dilutes what's raw. Ask yourself, do I
