#vss365 “I love the rain. I love how it softens the outlines of things. The world becomes softly #blurred, and I feel like I melt right into it.” Chica Umino

The world is a blur, an ever speeding, spinning whir amid swirling clouds of AI dust, we are losing faith, and most of our trust, as pioneers of a digital zoo, how can we know what facts are true and what is a pile of cyber poo! #vss365 #blur

Blurs are included in clarity yet no blurs remain... Unity includes, everything is seen. Clarity redefines. Is there sense for me to be there as a blur? Of course. I'm there and I'm fully seen. I'm a blur in full view. #vss365 #poetry

A hike through the forest Turning into a #conundrum There is something there I don’t wait to see, I run Finally I stop to listen It’s just nature’s hum Now how do I get back Which way did I come Mountain lion in the #pine Well shit, I’m done #wildwalkprompt #vss365

"Imagine if the rapture would be real and all the birds would disappear," Nora mused after watching an interesting movie. "Don't even joke about that," Bob warned. The thought alone turned his stomach and his vision became a #blur. #vss365

Bob offered to fix the leaky faucet. The #conundrum: trust or call a plumber? Nora watched with crossed arms leaning against the counter. It worked for the most part. Bob got the job done. The towel rack didn’t survive. #vss365

I feel your breath Upon my shoulder blades bare It’s a #conundrum my brain dares But the heart knows What the heart knows Feeling the ghost of you #vss365 #poetry

What would happen if a Snake swallowed it's tail? If a Slug had a shell would you call it a Snail? If our Knees bent opposing, am I right in supposing, a chair wouldn't do for our bottoms? All these #conumdrums, make our lives less humdrum, what came first the mouse or the egg? #vss365

#vss365 Their mistress was mercurial and oft given to #caprice. Her flights of fancy were legendary. After impaling the entirety of the brotherhood for their refusal to take a knee, she donated their bulging war chest to their starved kin. Then pledged allegiance to their women...

He sat on the three-legged stool & listened gleefully to the muffled cries for help beyong the immaculate bricked up wall. He knew that the end of the desperate wails would be an eventuality. He hoped the sobbing would continue for quite a while. #vss365 #horrorprompt

Bob ordered butter pecan ice-cream. Nora, in a #caprice, chose the hyped wasabi swirl. One lick and she emptied her water bottle into her mouth. "You said be adventurous," she gasped. "I meant add rainbow sprinkles," Bob muttered. #vss365

#vss365 #Words #WordMeanings #caprice is a pink thing in a green room

#vss365 #Words #WordMeanings #caprice is a leaf dancing on The Winds of Maybe

Midnight blue black tresses Fall down her porcelain skin With a twinkle of #caprice In her pool green wet eyes Was it all a dream she thinks But she’ll never know Coz those butterflies left Along with their kisses Each gravestone around her Covered in mosses #vss365 #poetry

Dance with #capricious glee, sing till your voice is hoarse, celebrate your youth. Tomorrow isn't far away, aching bones, cynicism, sadness and moral decay. Time is not your friend, but a burden in disguise. One day you're young and juicy, next day, dry, bitter, but wise. #vss365

Few of the gods in the game were out-and-out evil, or good, but were shaded, and with a good dolloping of #caprice to make things even more interesting. It did make things a little more interesting and, whenever Rory got a quest to deal with a god, it was very rarely considered boring. #vss365

They were the entire fleet of one of the smaller Factions. One that only controlled a couple of the mining moons, but it was a start. Someone had believed Dylan and now intended helping. It would #reinvigorate the resistance of the smugglers Dylan had brought together against The Enemy. #vss365

“It’s a nice thought but I don’t think it will work. I’m too set in my ways and there’s no hope of me changing now.” “We just thought that it might help to #reinvigorate you, lift your spirits, make you see life differently, going forward.” “There’s the word ‘forward’. I just can’t see it.” #vss365

"Ahh, isn't da smell of gold so #reinvigorating?" Riz asked as he clutched the chest. "Wouldn't know as I'm still caught in this trap you set off!" I replied. "Sumtimes ya have ta make sacrifices in orda ta win." "And how are you getting home again?" "Bugga." #vss365 #riztherogue

"Brrrr, Bob these ginger shots #reinvigorate your system. Try one," Nora said, smiling and shivering. Bob declined. He didn't like that Nora brought home ginger shots instead of strawberry- or orange juice. And now even his yogurt had chia seeds! #vss365

When Nora came home, the kitchen was a complete mess. "Bob, I don't know what you've done, but can you come here to clean up?" There was silence from the living room, followed by a grumpy, " #perhaps." Nora rolled her eyes. "That's not really an answer, is it?" #vss365

let us take the long, meandering road through the hills disappear deep into the forest green hidden and sheltered beneath the canopy where dappled light or peeking star glimmer the same and let the dark of night hide us entire from the world I want to be that alone with you #vss365

I read Calvin & Hobbes like it’s one of my jobs and it’s taught me there’s joy in belief. When I read Charlie Brown, if I’m up or I’m down, it reminds me that life has good grief. #Perhaps we all need some good comics to read and we’ll gain more than comic relief. #vss365

small moving boxes almost a cat-astrophe found one big enough #vss365 #catastrophe #Caturday

The bars curved at the top, drew down to affix to the floor like a birdcage. A whimper emanated from the small, adorable creature inside. The new maid was warned not to go into the cage, but she felt sorrow for the occupant. Once inside,she became a delicious snack. #horrorprompt

My diaphanous shroud of red silk Adorns my alabaster skin As I walk the lonely chapel To my doom A #catastrophe Forever to remain agelast The wife of a monster Am I alive or dead I don’t know Trapped in his bloody gloom #vss365 #satsplat

I walked a fine line of fight or flight forever vigilant on defence. Upside down,life never what others had experienced at each point in their lives. One step forward five back courting #catastrophe yet somehow managing to weather the worst of each storm. Then having to begin all over again #vss365

Bob looked down at the patch of destroyed African Violets. "We don’t know for sure if Leo the cat caused this #catastrophe." Nora shook her head. She couldn't imagine Leo doing such a thing, but if he did, she'd forgive him. That face was just too cute. #vss365

#vss365 Most are weakened by predicaments and #catastrophes, some are strengthened by them.

#vss365 #Confessions I #stock giggles in jars, burps in briefcases, and Twinkies in toolboxes.

Heavy on our wee toes Weightless life breathes Both blessing and a curse This #stock full of emotions Ripping you stitching you back Within this flesh & bones filled husk #vss365 #poetry

It was time to get back on the job, regardless of anything else happening. If he couldn’t afford to keep Magpie flying, he couldn’t help anyone. The dealer showed him the contents of his cargo area and Dylan knew he would get good pay for this. A #stock of medicinal supplies, running late. #vss365

Let it pass, the groaning ship of your young days. Past the pier, thick with walking bodies, a wooden scar on a blue back. You’re of saltier #stock than that, raised by gulls and their gaggle-hack cackles. Standing, stirring eye-deep, foam forever at your mouth. #vss365

I sometimes think of my #stock responses to my parents when young like I didn't ask to be born but now I realise that I probably did my soul looked at all the possible parents and what my life would be like I believe it's a big superstore there so wham there I arrived to my parents joy #vss365

- we glide beneath Glenveagh rain, old longings drift ‘long this misty morning lough. you are beside me both tower and Eithne, an ember sheltered in time’s patient synthesis. i am heather, you are the stone; my roots pierce you, and i hold, weather after weather. - #vss365 #poetry #read

Bob's day was ruined. First he got told off at work for being late, and later saw that his favourite chilli prawn chips were out of #stock at the supermarket. He just hoped Nora's mother wouldn't be there when he came home. #vss365

she savors the dimensionless space of poetry whilst streets & daily rules #conspire to draw her back she has learned to walk the marsh of events just for others' sake dwelling until stiffest patterns crack for to be a poet is to abide freer than any measure can contain #vss365 #poetry 🖼️ Razelle T

It was easy to #conspire against you and to join the others. Much harder to rail against their views and stand up for what was right. I watched as you fell and saw the disbelief in your eyes when you sought me out. I wish I could tell you if I could turn back time, I’d do things differently. #vss365

"Bob, I'm not going to #conspire with you to bamboozle my mother using magic tricks you found online," Nora said, noticing the disappointment in Bob’s eyes. She didn't like deceiving her mother, who was notoriously high-strung. Even if she knew it would make Bob's day. #vss365

New moons tonights forevers Be the tropes parables Metaphors running rivers In veins pumping thru my skin Telling allegories I can’t #rein it in So don’t blame me I’m of the possessed obsessed Living in a land far far away Encircled by a moat Named MakeBelieve #vss365
