"Could you kindly come remove your #feral daughter from our yard?" "Oh is that where she went? Again? She must really like the place." "We really like it too & would love to be able to bbq this evening without being bitten by your child." #vss365

Lost, found, lost again Never belonging to men My dear feral friend #mondaymood #thoughts #poetry #haiku #senryu #nature #vss365 #feral #cats

we tried and we failed but true love’s feral heat left one candle burning #vss365 #Feral #Senryu #Haiku #Poetry #Micropoetry #JustWrite #WritingCommunity #BlueskyPoets

I always look up, From the #feral mundanity, Of my gravitational prison, To the peace, And the freedom, Of the skies above. I may not have wings, But I have my dreams, And the sky is mine, When I sleep. #vss365

Nora holds the ladder while Bob wrestles with the #feral cat that has been hiding under the roof of their shed, muttering about how this was supposed to be a relaxed Monday. Bob ends up sweaty and scratched, unable to convince the cat to go into a crate. #vss365

His #luminosity an extravagance which could not be hidden from cautious smile and words few spoken " Is it spell or the chimming bell " That generous heart beat failed to explain the deepest truths ever Like a child with a candy her emotions took a sharp form and laughter #vss365 #Bravewrite

Forgotten gem In second‑hand shop Nook discovered Deeply delighted #AcrosticChallenge #acrostic Find

Bob notices a faint #luminous haze on the horizon and wonders if it means rain is coming. Nora checks the air, feels the rising wind against her sleeves and says they should probably bring the bikes inside and get ready for a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream. #vss365

#Luminous morning Unbroken calm Muted footsteps Inside warmth Near laughter Over slices of toast Under a fluffy blanket Slow serenity #vss365 #acrostic Luminous

A peace that grows in the waiting #monoku

‘The old neighborhood is certainly being gentrified.’ ‘That swanky high-rise is attracting the worst kind. Rich people, #barren of any cultural identity.’ ‘So many of my favorite shops are gone.’ ‘Mine too. The tobacco shop I loved is now a ritzy boutique.’ ‘Ah, clothes-but no cigar.’ #vss365

“Funny,” Lyn mused, “how flowers are suddenly growing through that stubborn #barren patch of soil in your garden. It’s as though the universe is showing you there’s hope Mike will be found alive.” “We can but pray,” said Val, praying she’d dug deep enough… #vss365

Arranging wee details #3wordspoet

Nora sprains her ankle on the stairs and Bob becomes her nurse, settling her on the couch with frozen peas and a #barren, worried look as he tries to recall the first‑aid video. He wraps her ankle, checking constantly. Nora thinks he's more stressed than she is. #vss365

#Forgiveness waits where anger finally loosens #vss365 #monoku

Bob sinks into the mud bath, sighing as if he's melting. Nora laughs at the bubbling muck, surprised it smells so good. They drift from sauna to pool, warm and glowing. When his stomach growls loudly, Nora #forgives him instantly, swimming always turns Bob ravenous. #vss365

Repeatedly I suffer the indignity of time's greedy hands upon me— it takes before it flies away I prefer to be left unalloyed In future I shall secret away little parts of me in a hidden pouch even time can't reach so my eyes might gleam, even as my seams unravel. #vss365 #unalloyed

Bob told Nora the story as they walked to the car. Someone had shoved a cart at him in the garage, metal clattering as it sped toward his legs. He dodged it just in time. The #unalloyed audacity lingered with him long after the wheels went still. #vss365

"Pure gold." "What is?" "Pete's joke." "I disagree." "What would you call it then?" "More akin to horse manure than #unalloyed precious metal." #vss365

#Unalloyed relief washes over Bob as his train finally pulls into the station after a delay. He weaves through the crowd, only to realise he's left his lunch on the kitchen counter. By the time he reaches the building site, there is no coffee and everyone is moody. #vss365

Summer Memory Show me #unalloyed joy Back when innocence and laughter flowed free There where smiles were unforced fixtures And pride was seeing butterflies dance unleashed Across meadows of #daisies #vss365 #WildWalkPrompt #Skywriting

Look elsewhere! Quintessentially flawed, enslaved, then thawed, repeatedly maimed. Sometimes drudgingly slow, then a fevered rush, other times a moonless glow in the heavy hush. Yet lustre emerges through intentions unalloyed, and thoughts kind & pure. ~rev #vss365 #unalloyed

A horde of peasants surrounded the pair. “I am not a münster!” the cheese golem yelled. The circle of pitchforks and torches, stopped. He gestured to his vegetative companion. “And he is a Human Bean!” The village collectively groaned, then made enchiladas. #vss #sff

#vss365 ‘Just think what you could accomplish Fred if you were as #diligent about your spellcraft as you are about making money by illegal or morally dubious means,’ Lis told him. ‘Are you saying I’m a bad wizard?’ ‘I am,’ said Jay.

I move through the morning with a kind of soft #diligence breakfast at the kitchen table my neighbour knocks to ask if I've seen her runaway cat that's too much commotion for my precious, early hours but I'm already getting my coat to look for her tabby cat #vss365

"Stupid police..." Riz muttered. "I waz only givin people money!" "Don't blame them, they were doing their due #diligence," I replied, resetting the 'days since Riz scammed' sign again. "I waz doin nuthin wrong!" "That you're in a pet carrier says otherwise." #vss365 #riztherogue

#vss365 #Fails Actually, I want to assure you that I have studied your situation and mine with great #diligence. I believe it is in my best interest and yours to engage what is commonly called a date. If you agree, please contact me at your earliest convenience. I await your response, actually.

Dylan had to keep on top of everything. All the time. He couldn’t ever truly rest, one or another of the crew blaring in through the internal comms for his attention. All the time. It took perseverance, #diligence, stealing moments of sleep when he could. Always there, the captain. Always. #vss365

Tom also found an envelope inside the lad’s wallet. It had a name on the front: ‘Billinguard #Diligence’. He unfolded the letter and read: Billy, my lovely boy. When I am dead, which will be soon, regrettably you will need to live with your aunt. With all my love, Mother #vss365

A scent too thick To parse out hangs In the air as People sit and Contemplate the Choices that led Them to then tread On a rule of Thumb that secures True #diligence #vss365

Backstage feels like organised chaos as she slips into her outfit every movement guided by the same quiet #diligence that got her thru rehearsals When her turn comes she steps onto the runway with her heart pounding #vss365

The overhead lamp buzzes and the dentist's gloves snap. Bob waits in the tilted chair. He is nervous. The dentist works with quiet #diligence. Bob exhales as he's trying to settle, but all he can think about is a slice of chocolate mud cake waiting in the fridge. #vss365

A reddish moon lifts over the canal, its light catching on the water where a heron rises a thin fish glinting in its beak The reeds shift in the breeze their dry rustle carrying farther than it should in the quiet A woman moves slowly her footsteps in #evenfall #vss365

When #evenfall hit, she could finally speak the truth. She warned people about what was going to happen to the world. They thought that she was mad and ignored her. She pleaded with them to go into her spaceship to escape. They laughed at her. The world ended the next day. #vss365

#Evenfall arrived soft and golden, followed immediately by mosquitoes. #vss365

#Evenfall settles over the stadium as Bob and Nora watch skaters glide across the ice. Cheer erupts when a favourite wins. A kid bumps Bob as he walks by, coffee sloshing over his jeans. They try to focus on the ice, but there is just too much going on around them. #vss365

The wind came down from the ridge carrying a distant smell of rain and horses, the kind that made a man remember where he’d been long after he thought he’d forgotten. #2WordPrompt

It was #vital that Grandads #trunk never be found; so I buried it in the woods. Everything was fine for years. Until they decided to build a train track through it. Every now and then there’s a train wreck, above the spot it’s buried. But I can’t tell anyone, grandad hated trains. #2wordprompt
