He tried so hard to fit in, but it never took. He was always the outsider. The day he could no longer see his #reflection, he snapped. The rangers came in when the neighboring town reported a putrid smell in the air. They found hundreds of mutilated bodies in a pile in the center of town. #vss365

Seeing only partial #reflection, but not allowed resentment, am I? That would make me wrong, to look for something, Thought deserved, But little more than courtesy. The worlds in the mirror, Think only of the images they make, Caring little about this one. And why should they? #vss365

#Reflection and renewal Remembering fondly What has passed Letting go of those things That do not reflect well To make room for what will #vss365

Nights had run long for weeks now, but, ultimately, day and night were ephemeral concepts when you spent most of your time in space. Dylan caught the #reflection of his face on one of Magpie’s consoles and mused that it was a good thing he wasn’t in a proper military. He looked a mess. #vss365

Nora kept staring at her #reflection in the mirror. "Are you sure these fake-lashes are not too much? I chose a modest pair." Bob assured her that everyone at the party would love them. She deserved a night of glam. #vss365

Life’s moments are numbered, accounted, and #timed, but soulmates can collate those moments in rhyme. #vss365

Endless the chances for life To insert a timed duration for unhappy Tis an opportunity missed Probably ignored for its lack of learning & growth Yet inner peace cannot always hold fast Tides & torrents yank out the roots Toss & tumble the strong as easily as the weak One survives or drowns #vss365

Di #timed it perfectly: spilling her drink to distract the mark, while Em lifted his keys, barely breaking stride. He even came over to offer Di his handkerchief. She discovered the burner phone in her pocket when it rang in the car: “How long do you need my keys for?” #vss365

A nurse came in with a clipboard. "Those are some serious bruises! Can you tell me what happened?" Greg shrugged. "I was crossing the street and #timed it incorrectly." "Hit by a car?" "Parade float." Her eyes widened. "How? They only go two miles an hour." He huffed. "Two and a half!" #vss365

"Bob, focus! Those details aren't #relevant to the story. Stay on topic please." Bob's explanation for why he forgot groceries on his trip to the store, stretched out far longer than Nora's patience allowed. #vss365

My chest thumps so light and I freeze Lips flicker from a hint of a breeze Déjà Vu I taste I saw and I know We don’t exist we echo Here and there Nameless but we know us Soulmates searching For unblocked gates Within an #achievable haze #vss365

your every #stripe is real and unmistakable each a sorrowful mystery of pain that was #aching to be released i count them among my own blessings even as sin taints their creation our #goal is shared one to feel; to punish to exist when myriad reasons scream that we needn't #vss365 #whistpr #emoetry

#vss365 #relevant It's a hammer pounding out the time It's a drumbeat sounding in the jungle It's a non-stop rat race down to the line It's a frantic frenzy of freneticism It's a non-stop series of collisions Prompts pump out like bullets Keep us ducking walls of punches Keep prompt output relevant

In a world where distractions abound, We seek what’s both meaningful and sound. With purpose, we strive, To keep dreams alive, And be #relevant all around! #vss365

Hidden by the shed, Bob aimed for the perfect robin shot. " #Achievable," he whispered, picturing likes on his Facebook bird group. Nora stepped flat‑footed into the garden. "Hey Bob!" she called out when she saw his movements. #vss365

There’s a #specific person I’m unhappy with This person doesn't know this Why?...Coz This person doesn't seem to know I exist! This person doesn't even have me on their top list! This is why I am unhappy with this specific person! Gosh, how tragic! #vss365 #FridayFunnies🤣

Rory couldn’t point to anything #specific that brought him back to the game over-and-over, above every other game he had played. The graphics weren’t the best, there were glitches, some of the quests were boring and the monsters not that varied, but it all worked for him. It was special. #vss365

Bob picked up his guitar. "I've got a few acoustic songs, babe, nothing too #specific, just jamming." Nora sat up and nudged Leo the cat awake. They both wanted to be front row for the performance. #vss365

The #action word was nothing but vain repetition of yester years and its fabrication. #immigrants are you from city ? will your soul leave in village ? will you leave to south immediately ? Nobody can plan my life, said maura with a deep sigh but keep dreaming as usual. #vss365 #Bravewrite

Max Balegde jumps into #action as soon as he hits the red carpet, ready to interview stars. Bob noticed, but Nora, a big fan of celebrity news, kept herself updated daily, online and through glossy magazines. #vss365

my empathy has limits there is place I cannot inhabit my mind cannot map into yours Don't you know that loving you wasn't a choice or an option? I just took a breath and you were in my lungs then in my blood so why are there times my heart aches for just a kind word but your lips are numb #vss365

"Sholmes, someone replaced all museum statues with people pretending to be statues" "A bold piece of #action, Hatson" "Geriarty?" "Indeed Hatson. Only he recruits volunteers for chaos" #vss365

In action, outcome: A reaction to the force Leaves all things equal #vss365 #action #haiku

The director shouted #action, but the moment the actors looked at each other, they burst out laughing. Despite their experience, being semi naked for a pivotal love scene with camera and sound crew set them off again. They were secretly dating and had only just had their first kiss. #vss365

We live in a world of too much #action, and not enough presence. - #WritingCommunity #vss365 #KBFZen

‘Let’s work on the questionnaire.’ ‘What should I put for occupation? I’m a stay at home mom.’ ‘Let’s say domestic housewife.’ ‘Domestic housewife? You mean like a cat? Does that mean there’s something called a feral housewife?’ ‘Interesting thought.’ ‘I have a new #goal in life now.’ #vss365

A call to #action Falls on too many deaf ears Just like they want it #haiku #vss365

Nora frowned in front of the mirror, "Every time I push past midnight, #reality reminds me I’m no longer 18. I've got dark circles, wrinkles and the worst posture to show for it." "Yes, I can see that," Bob casually replied. #vss365

In the shadows She sharpens her strength Twisted chaos breaks In her minds eye She will bury her broken Rise and conquer From her shattered pieces #poetry #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

Something In The Rain That night when we walked to the clubs, after the rain, and you challenged me, that I'd never dare, and jump, into one of rose puddles... Surprised you, didn't I? - #WritingCommunity #fairytalepoets

The developers never failed to #issue regular new items in both the store and in-game purchase methods. It kept the variety of costumes and other items at remarkable levels. Rory, of course, hoarded his currencies. He never knew what might come up in the future and didn’t want to miss it. #vss365

Bob explained, "The #issue isn't the detour, sweetheart. It is your fear of big dogs. What if we go and meet our neighbour's dog together? He could be a gentle soul." Nora gasped. #vss365

Pass the tissues, this Issue is a heartbreaker, I really miss you. #vss365 #issue #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity

Unspoken issues are silently ushered from one to another. Everybody closes their eyes, like little children, hoping that nobody will see. But the unplayed mask always sits with the audience, in the end. - #WritingCommunity #vss365

emotional clouds heavy with the grey of now hiding the sunset issues faced on Sunday night The dread falls within the rain #vss365 #issue #tanka #rain

Everybody is pointing at the little white elephants all over the room. But the real #issue #lurks around the corner, waiting to stomp in any minute now. #vss365 #whistpr

‘In Between’ Transport me to a time that was before it was. Wrap me in sheets of gold like the morning's breath fogs the sun outside my window Take me to Paris kiss me under the Eiffel Tower take my hand at the traffic light. Conveyor-belt clouds smile at our loop— Red means more. #vss365 #poetry

Today, it’s barely morning I hear no birds singing & already I Want to erase today Starting all over again Perhaps it’s really Wednesday pretending To be Friday But there’s no #science in that So Imma do something crazy Like eat cereal with chopsticks #vss365

I am not separate from the news. I am not helpless. I am making choices. I am not a member of the mindless masses. I am not a #number. I am not a loyal consumer. I will not overlook complicity in atrocities. My integrity is not for sale. #vss365 #poetry

"Every time I listen to my favourite music, it #transports me to the best times in my life," Bob mused, while sitting in his comfy chair. Nora knew his record collection was untouchable. If space ran out, she would simply have to make more room. #vss365

"8 is a great #number," Bob grinned. "Think magic 8 ball, the infinity symbol, octopus arms, spider legs, and I will likely get up from my seat 8 times tonight." Nora saw Bob gloating as he waited for the restaurant's buffet to open. #vss365

#vss365 #poem #tanka #measure The measure of all things sleeps beneath your closed eyes— dead leaves whispering, as in Baudelaire’s lost dream, stairs ascend to nothingness.

the #measure of a man this apple of no eye this master of none aware of averted gazes of #rapture disabused by failure holding no zest for breath or the race of mice and men laid out in #lavender counting ghosts and rotted flesh beneath the dying stars #vss365 #whistpr #emoetry

in her dark embrace all the wilted leaves of summer fading light #haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt
