Rory was very grateful that he was living this adventurous life vicariously through his characters, because some of the attacks that their enemies used looked like they could, or should, cause immense amounts of #pain, which was something he didn’t handle very well in the real world. #vss365

To face each day with A lopsided smile, a real Daily miracle. #Haikufeels #face #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity

#Pain maybe it's a kind of covenant we need this signal that something's wrong and our practice is to gently notice to listen and to thank it #vss365

"You can really turn me into a teddy bear?" Mr. Green asked. Emilia smiled warmly. "Of course. No more worries, no more #pain, just lots of cuddling and naps." His eyes widened. "It sounds like magic. Are you a witch or something?" She shook her head. "Not exactly. I'm a taxidermist." #vss365

Pain for me pain for you #pain for all of humanity. Yesterday's pain today's pain tomorrow's pain humanity's pain. That's too much pain for one person to feel so I feel what's mine and let go of the rest. It's not that I don't care about humanity, I care about saving what's left of me. #vss365

he couldn’t be found only the blind breach remained within the fragile horde of stars carrying the entire history set in a molecular recess of the body his #pain endured among the ruins where something still listens and answers if one knows how to ask #FromOneLine #vss365 #blueskypoets 🖼️ Pinterest

Every day a poem is born again, through pain, love, tears and rain, we drive recklessly through this world that has forgotten itself, a sandstorm in the sunshine, a last chorus before the coffee goes cold. #poem #poetry #goodmorning #helloworld

#vss365 #pain She soaks up the tears, cushions the grazes, absorbs each bruise. Wraps safe arms around every heartache, soothing the sorrow. She swallows their pain, willingly, knowing how much it consumes her. For a time will come when she can no longer carry the weight of their grief.

Pt389 Peering round the bush, Ang saw a large, black car coming from up the road. She was pretty #confident it was what Robert called a limousine. It drew closer & stopped in front of Ang. Moira Freedman opened the door. A deep #pain stabbed Ang’s heart. “You might as well get in.” #vss365 #WIPSnips

Scintillating new dawn hopeful revelations gleam, verdant earth wide awake shed the lining of midnight’s fog, seraphic doves hover ivory rabbits dart through blooms, the soothing connection with nature heals tranquil auras shine all day #vss365 #wildwalkprompt #inkmine #BSPP49 #Foxprose #OurpoetryX

The old giant is in #pain. We hear it echo in the air around us. The violence. The anger. This spit smile joy with which they fling their nastiness around without a care for where it might land. He won't last much longer if this carries on. Who's going to stop the boulder now it's rolling? #vss365

A poets job is to scratch at the truth until it bleeds freely. A neurosis of picking at a thing, trying to untangle its beauty without leaving a scar. #poetry

the smaller barbs drag across my skin is this really the life we chose to live I’ve read the smallest seeds can be the largest plants but even they become unbound ground back to ground and spirit to the wind leaving hope among naked trees giving dreams for starving doves to feed

Growing Challenges appear Like tangled yarn My life twists and turns I have courage As I walk in the shadows Towards the light Ready for more tangles As I make my way through life #WritingCommunity #poetrycommunity #poem

Our temporary existence in this form, continuing. ✨✨

The one who gives, by offering— until even loss is luminous quiet .. to let fullness pass through without asking to keep it. They are known, not by what they possess— but by what arrives after they’ve been there. #FullySeen

It happens in degrees. You realize some level of pain is inevitable...try to hold yourself together through reprises. Their inverted agonies. They find a path of least resistance - you not screaming 'offense!' - as a giant looms, throwing nothing but glances at us all. #inkmine #horrorprompt #vss365

Hi, Everyone! Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Marcia [rhymes w/ "Garcia"]. I'm a poet, multi-genre writer, beta, & editor. I'm quiet, b/ a "people person". I taught E/LA for many years. I❤️music, daydreaming, people watching, adventures, art, letters by hand, writing, & books! Nice to meet you!👋🏾

My #soul speaks in riots quiet though they may be. Can you hear it? Or is it but a whisper a cacophony below a summer’s green, a storm folded in brooding sea. Or am I but a firefly stealing kisses from the sun? #vss365

A tribute to @blsamaddar.bsky.social for her wonderful hosting of #vss365

i discovered an ocean of unlimited stars within my soul, each one glowing just for you, & as you swam through my river of trust scattering unwavering moondust upon the wounds in my heart, i found myself falling in love with fate, realising that i was destined to be with you. #vss365 #FoxProse

we inflict #pain unable to see the hidden tripwires and people hurt us little cuts hardly visible to the eye but we are all bleeding all the time yet we love we care deeply for one another it's up to us to create a safe space where someone can say i'm hurting, and i need you to see me #vss365

Rushing waters rising edges Splashing shores rocked tunes Swirling through pushes & pulls Swelling above intense fills Sanding ends tossed woods Sliding into long shores Salty perimeters moon's magics Pacific Ocean's Trails 🌊💙🌏🌕🌎💚🌲

Looking at the others I see they’ll miss you. You showed them kindness, made them laugh and they were part of your world. Yet not me. Your absence in my life runs like a fault line through my body and old memories ignite pushed down #pain and the child inside cries for what could have been. #vss365

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 3 is #pain "After great pain, a formal feeling comes – The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs – The stiff Heart questions 'was it He, that bore,' And 'Yesterday, or Centuries before'?" 'After great pain, a formal feeling comes', Emily Dickenson #3

I promised ur life would improve, my affirmations stripping ur reservations naked. U believed me. I took ur hand, our syncopated heartbeats echoing between my obfuscating words. I leaned in, the odd look in ur eyes not enough of a warning. The revelation came too late. #vss365 #inkMine #2WordPrompt

‘This place is extremely busy. Can you handle pressure?’ ‘Absolutely. I’m not the kinda guy to #quiver when there’s a lot going on. I’m cool as a cucumber.’ ‘Give me one good reason why we should hire you for our serving staff?’ ‘Well, I’m a great waiter, so I bring a lot to the table.’ #vss365
