Words luminesce drifting through the shadows seeking the freedom of the pen At last they begin to #sublimate in the nether Ice melts on thin revetments and drips into the when #vss365 #sublimate #poetry

Good morning writers and friends.. We all hide some of what we feel. Form is changed, maybe, But not essence... 29 September 2025 #vss365 #prompt word, is #sublimate

as the margins of #eventuality widen with whole body she holds on to the moment keeping watch & fighting off torpor #sonorous thoughts scatter sleep draws her in taking her to the shore of nothingness or the bank of plenitude cellars or suns #perhaps will call her home #vss365 #poetry

Could the black hole be an #escutcheon to another universe What phantoms walk this sparkled lane to be swallowed by the dark How many theories are just fantasies conceived upon a lark #vss365 #escutcheon #poetry

Good morning writers and authors. Keys heard jingling in the hallway... From caves to castles, to your front door... 27 September 2025 #vss365 #prompt word, is #escutcheon

#vss365 Scarlight Scrutiny pierces the siltblood, shamed roots convulse. Exposed. Rot hides, in the murmur, but light, persistent, leaks through the scar's rip. #Scrutiny #writerscommunity #poetry #poetrycorner

Hypnotic #scrutiny seeking interpretation of classic pages from the rim The soul of civilization rides on humanity and its whim Life explodes from darkness and revels in the light I read on in my atelier Passing another night #vss365 #scrutiny #poetry

Good morning writers, authors, and questioners of fate... Find the words of inquiry that shed the most light... 27 September 2025 #vss365 #prompt word, is #scrutiny

Startled by fickle words glossy sailboats & looming houses noble daughters of the rose of winds have gone With trailing hair & slender grace they bore #obsessive beauty of #sonorous strata from bygone hours Light & heavy at once their absence inhabits deep each of our joys & trials #vss365 #emoetry

#vss365 Breath sonorous grit rattlesound, (lungs tighten) dry mouth unbound, (tongue slackens) stumble-words unfound (throat closes) until the air spOoOols again, u n w o u n d #sonorous #writerscommunity #poetrycorner #poetrycommunity

meeting in bare words spring and fall ride together sonorous outlook opens to gradual ink that settles beyond the lines #vss365 #sonorous #tankaThursday #open #tanka #poetry

Concerned My nosy neighbor Keeps parading By my house Think he’s up To something sneaky Just what— Ain’t figured out Might be acts Nefarious, Or maybe He’s just nosy When confronted He stutters— His cheeks Grow red & rosy His #sonorous “Mea culpa” Is kind As on he moseys #vss365

Each thought, has sonorous implications from cave man grunts to choirs of angels whispering breeze to the crashing roar of waves Each moment in an atmosphere yields sounds that we can save The murdered girl on the train who never even screamed what about her dreams? #vss365 #sonorous

Good morning writers, Sound is the expression of language, Be prideful speaking yours. Make your words speak loud and with force.... 26 September 2025 #vss365 #prompt word, is #sonorous

she often acts a #capricious fanciful child who'd draw windows all around so eyes used to darkness might learn the light yet the pencils never cut deep enough to leave clear marks she has only frozen fingers frayed paper & weep of dragonflies that can't touch the ground #vss365 #poetry #art Suzi K

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

(I fell out of the habit of posting here, but here’s another one) capricious fall the splendor of a life in the landscape #vss365 #caprice

Lipstick stains make for angry bread, Biting down hard over something he said. A doorbell, soon a caprice note with a rose Tears touch petals as the scent hits her nose Firm hands appear, then a kiss on her neck Anger sails into lust, it's all hands on deck. #vss365 #caprice

life comes, life goes the blinking of a tearful eye a skein of mournful geese in passing the tossing of God’s dice like raging thunder #vss365 #caprice #poem #poetry #5lines #tanka

#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...

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

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

As he always expected when dealing with those in power, even for a small Faction, Dylan expected more than a little #caprice, changeable minds and political moves in spite of the circumstances. He hadn’t seen any of that. Yet. They were, to a one, laser-focussed on beating The Enemy. #vss365

we walk on, with small hopes, and open hands. a #caprice shifts the heart, like drifting leaves hands touch, words fade we walk on. #vss365 #Prompt #amwriting #writesky #skypoets #5amwriters #Micropoetry #Poem #Poetry #Writingcommunity #poetrycommunity

#vss365 Today she makes her first speech and they vote for Year 6 President, the #bellwether of ten-year-olds. 'Even if I don't win it'll boost my confidence,' she says. Whichever way the #caprice of the voters goes, in my eyes she is already a winner.

The shouts never cease From unceasing caprice Except Epstein's piece Which they will not release #vss365 #caprice

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

Colours touching trees mountainside awash Unbranding Summer with the capricious light of art Causes found in peril on heavens' ceiling in the dark Cafe living in the when and where relies upon the spark #vss365 #caprice #poetry

"Pray, do tell! For my wish to do good is unbending. #Caprice has no home here." Dorothea took a seat and turned her hopeful eyes upon the mouse. "My plan," he began, "is simply this: Middlemarch is already a kind of Between. A middle. This very house can be a Begin, a means to an End." #vss365

She regretted giving her novel the title #Caprice. She'd had so many mood changes, she wasn't even sure which genre it was anymore. The character fell in love with their reflection and created a portal to meet herself but in doing so made a time rift and was stuck as a barmaid in a Western. #vss365

the day and the things we can't change the trivialities and traumas the surprises and staples #caprice often too inevitable just to cope but your grace roots in nurturing earth grounding reassuring even amidst the tides of passion the constancy of you is divine #vss365

Here’s my #Thursday #BlueSkypost #vss365 #Haiku #Sanryu #Fall #Autumn #poetry #HaikuPrompt #poems #flower #blossom #bloomscrolling #photography Tenacious nature – finding just the smallest crack in which to blossom 🌼✨

The clouds above silent, cyclopean, presage an #eventuality with each new protean wisp and and turn. The fancies fade; the sky takes on an autumn tone perhaps a verdant flash or ruddy sun will surely call a storm. #vss365

Relentless caprice, World held hostage to the whims Of a man-baby. #vss365 #caprice #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity
