What Dylan needed was someone to teach him how to teach others and he knew just the guy. An old #associate. A grizzled old geezer that had taught Dylan all he needed to know About smuggling. Only, a quick search revealed the man’s fate. Killed early on in the shadowy conflict with Them. #vss365

So love doesn't follow all the rules Bodies just vessels to hold It’s the inside that matters What feeds quenches us We’re all beautiful In somebodys minds eye The place time unforseen Till the flutters of a big bang within Become the #associate to bind Us as one #vss365

So strange to see a world Outlined in adverts selling Selling selling A March of rights Humans think they have Commenting on animals adapting Yet humans carry on Imposing demanding citing Rights rights rights Humans have forgotten how To adapt To a dying world Which needs giving Not taking #vss365

The #advert for the next dlc flashed up as Rory logged in. It looked incredible, with a ton of exclusive free stuff, but he had others to consider now. Well, Katie. Then again, she was as mad for the game as him, mostly or so.. A chewed lip and a click and he had it on pre order. #vss365

Something big needed to happen or a lot of these idiots were going to get themselves, maybe others, killed, but it wasn’t as though Dylan could place an #advert for flyers that weren’t idiots. He couldn’t advertise as such, but, he supposed, there were other ways to get the word out. #vss365

Apparently God has taken out an #advert in the Daily Mail and the Times I said to Hillary HaHa she laughed for the first time ever you're making me laugh he's saying in the advert I am the bread of life whoever believes in me will never hunger so you believe God took this advert out yup #vss365

#zest of a life— an ombré fade between ache and awakening. #emoetry #micropoetry #poetry

..i sit in sunrise again.. feel weight of a thousand feathers.. don't want to speak loudly today.. just gently-real.. i'm splintered-glass.. i’ll breathe words to feel.. or not be seen at all.. fall. grow. learn. thrive. we give. cry. laugh. love.. life's a hurricane.. and a lullaby.. -dww #thoughts

"Why is it whenever you say you have a new #advert idea, I think we'll be sued?" I said. "Come on, dats only happened three times!" "What is it then?" "Rite, so ya gunna dress as a camp councillor, nd I'll get a hockey mask..." "...and we're sued again." #vss365 #riztherogue

Red for the dread that's bled over years red for words unspoken broken red for the wounds unwound now bound Red my garment of comfort and bane a balm of late

#BraveWrite [1/4] As the seasons passed, Halrab began to get the discomfiting feeling that Gilzara was watching him – that he was being examined, assessed, measured for some impending #life-altering event.

#haveachat #jakob Music and words make my world. I tend to fall a little bit in love with wordly music makers. Thank you Bluesky for being just a little bit in love with word lovers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS8L...

The #vssdaily #prompt for 10/4/25 is #arm

#Wildwalkprompt I see you waiting every day I see you look every day At the junction we met You and me looking for our love On the trodden path near the meeting bush Listening to the birds Hoping for the crunch of booted foot I look after you for my love We wait endlessly

So with the loss of my publisher for Daemon Soul (they're closing up shop), is there any small publishers that people can recommend for me? Ideally I want to get Daemon Soul and my Brennan and Riz books back out there. Thank you in advance #WritingCommunity #writinghelp

The other ships became a #blur on Magpie’s screen as they zipped around, forgetting formations and simply attacking as they liked, forcing Dylan to use his Eyeball Mk1 instead. They were all still acting like individuals and needed to learn teamwork. Lucky this was only a training exercise. #vss365

youtu.be/gyWFjz71-FM?... Good night, my folks, ❤️🎶✨️🫂

- you are the firmament on which i lay chaos contained - stifling in your godly way i am the pinpricks that reveal the white interred beneath your darkness seeking to unmake you a conundrum of conscience: to tolerate such comity or be the entropy i was born to be - #vss365 #poetry #read

The shores are too rough The rocks too hard The tide pulling in the driftwood indiscriminate I'd rather the moon Choose its love with care For too oft the lovers leave With broken hearts the sand studded beach In tears Fools dreaming Inconsequential tomorrows Instead of today #vss2wordprompt

Monday morning, one hour late is totally understandable The white rabbit knew better than to undermine the natural order Always be late Always grasp the clock Always mock The impenetrable stock of severe for they Never laugh at themselves Or learn The whispers in the wind or smile #fromoneline

There's no need for change I don't want you to sublimate I can't undergo that myself so I never ask For such a transformation or pain Be forever you Somehow the We develops Or dies a natural death Better than a forced contortion, which only dies a painful death Be true and save yourself #vss365

It's a strange canvas we paint of immigration & restraint Echoing why they don't protect you From the loop that's me Borders borders & yet more Borders Who amongst us is pure? Who can resist desire & need? Who's really foreign when ancestry leads But to a few I have the wrong question #blueskyrelay

Was it Eve who took the apple Or Was it Adam who offered? Was the apple sour and bitter Or So sweet she couldn't refuse The question seems to be What and who You believe And the voice you hear So sonorous It reverberates through a body And soul Never can she refuse #VSS365

A lovers #caprice Emotions swirl like the sea My heart capsizing #vss365 #haiku

The swifts are gone Or going, mama The tides have turned rough The flowers are all dying, mama & the music is too soft The clouds are gathering & snarling Amongst the rooks & crows The salt is wearing down the rocks & the pebbles have grown too many holes How sad it is Mama That swifts have all gone

fire is strength burnt offerings of renewal add a little more smoke #poeticsoul #natureheals #sunsets

- perhaps you loved me once high upon the cliffs where the sea’s thunder kept our secrets where vows were made with blood and wind high among the kittiwakes their cries echoing our ache we were one weren’t we? maybe once. perhaps. - #vss365 #poetry #read

The sun calls in a pale blue voice I want to answer its cool enticement Exercise different muscles than mon-fri Perhaps I'll go But eureka gives a blast Home needs attention And I Want to give it #vss365

Today sleep and a lazy day call But There's no panacea for a story that wants to be out Ink sprawls on paper Needles stitch a puzzle An alternative rest Agreed #blueskyrelay

On my walk, a moment of peace. & wishing you all a creative weekend. ✌️ #butterfly #nature

I take a dewdrop from here, a seed from there A hurt here, a laugh there Never the whole I write in the hope of layers I write because I must I write because I'm lonely I write for the lonely I write for the planet I don't look to see which Prompt I was under I sigh a lot

Soon you will be gone Soon I will be too I don't know how to hold this pain Nor what to do with the hole It's not a catastrophe but a crying shame Expression failed and nicked a vein Holds remain Let us meet in laughter And rewrite these rules There's nothing that says Impossible #vss365

Extrusion of perspectives slow The pressure forcing them through the narrow opening of my mind Reducing The cooling harsh blocks the vent New extrusion sooths Belonging to me The whole connects Each affects the other Look and lock Holds past and present Pen quivers Ink spills a map #vss365 #vssdaily

#WildWalkPrompt The flowers are crowding or limping Autumnal dash a slow crawl I wish you'd speak plain Cobwebs crystalising Breath white in the air Boots scuffing in the hall of dust I think I can take it Echoes down the tree-lined path Green-lit canopy overhead Hearts resurrection a potential

After we exit this Earthly stage images of our existence will be stored in the clouds with posted pics laid out sequentially dutifully remembering the history of our above ground timeline to remote servers everywhere that only the angels will ever see #poetry #poem

#Extrusion sometimes anxiety has no object, no direction— only vigilance, a constant scanning, certain that silence itself portends storm #vss365

Dylan landed Magpie on the part of the large asteroid that had a long, hooked #extrusion emerging from the surface, a good place to hide and provided shade as the asteroid spun into the Sun’s light often. Now he only had to wait for his contact to arrive and transfer the semi-legal cargo. #vss365
