Honeybees Playing

March 19, 2025March 19, 2025 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
insects flying over lotus flower

Honeybees playing

Bouncing and buzzing between

Flowers and I slip

Into daydreams of summer

Into nightmares of winter

Hot Earl Grey Tea

February 22, 2025February 22, 2025 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Hot earl grey tea in

the morning a quiet cry 

lingers in the blood

the people in a panic

“Leaders” calling themselves kings

Rain Pours

December 24, 2024December 24, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Rain pours, morning sky

glows gray fog settles low and

warm scent of coffee

flowers through the apartment

pups soft snore, murmurs in bed.

Destruction

December 6, 2024December 6, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
grey concrete structure

Break the earth down in

to pieces of what matters 

I’m drinking blood and

writing words describing us

Let the cities become ruins

Green Parrot Feather

September 15, 2024September 15, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
green bird perched on tree branch

green parrot feather

on sidewalk smeared words carved in

cement I was here

sunshine warms bones and spreads wings

clouds billow and drift eastward
