The day cracks open with a threat I freeze before I proceed The only miracles I'll get Are the ones I will not need #vssdaily #Miracle #Poetry

Gripping the bluff's edge With toes and plunging mettle Waiting for a shift #Poetry #Senryu #Haiku

I can't stand feeling hot Being cold has no merit I'm just a Goldilocks Trying to Baby Bear it

If I were a drug addict, while that would be bad, I imagine I would have amazing stories about great danger and intrigue. But, I am a food addict and there isn't one fascinating story beginning with, "It was 3 a.m. and I had just polished off a party size bag of Cool Ranch Doritos by myself..."

Ate myself into a coma So off to bed I did roam-a The chips and the fishes Were oh so delicious I'm deep in food catatonia #Limerick #Poetry

I'm insane. No punchline or anything - just stating a fact.

Every day.

Nightly awake-fest Counting little sheep footies 'Til second sleep comes #Senryu #Haiku #Poetry #Insomnia

Packed my bags and fled Full speed run into your #web A willing captive #vssdaily #Senryu #Haiku #Poetry

I think we'd all be a lot happier if we stopped trying so hard to pass for normal and accepted ourselves for who we really are. Celebrate your inner mess! Be your weird selves everybody!

Lost inside each other We found ourselves #Micropoem You'll hardly know you're reading it

I sailed to Sweden in the freezing snow I hiked to Haiti with a crimson crow I've sewn a sweater on the Isle of Skye I can't slow down, I'm the wandering eye In Vietnam I cast a spell In Marrakesh I went through hell In a land Down Under I learned to fly No one can stop me, I'm the wandering eye

My back hurt so I took some autism pills and I'm feeling better now.

I had to pretend I was functioning human being in front of strangers for half an hour this morning and I am exhausted.

I declare I'm tired. youtu.be/gGt-_6MJaho?...

We're not cool But we're kind We're not flash We don't mind We're enmeshed We combine We don't match But we rhyme -For Mr. The Impala ❤️ #Poetry

If I understand the conservative view of free speech, it is: We can say whatever we want regardless of consequences and should never suffer repercussions and will cry victim if you point out we are wrong with facts and will do whatever possible to ruin your life.

#haikufeels A fellow called Dave Said ‘a limerick I crave’ But wrote a haiku

Delighted to say that my new book of words is out today, in which I explain how ‘sneeze’ was born from a mistake, that ‘window’ is a Viking leftover meaning ‘eye of the wind’, and that the Finns really do have a word for drinking alone in your underwear. linktr.ee/WordsforLife

I stalled taking #flight Everyone else could hardly wait I stood on the edge alone It felt like forever You arrived in hesitation We waited to be ready together #BlueSkyRelay #Poetry #Freeverse

A long slow hell Of stubbed toes and paper cuts Interlaced with tiny whisps of hope #vssdaily #whisp #Poetry #Micropoem You'll hardly know you're reading it

I don't know what I expect when I put bread in the toaster as I am startled when it pops up 100% of the time.

Vlad: It's amazing how happy you make me. Me: It is amazing because I am, like, awful.

Here, take this stalk It reminds me of you When we go for a walk When we do what we do It's lithe and surreal Just like you, my dear Starling But what seals the whole deal You're both drawn by Jon Carling

A #slice of sun A piece of rain A book begun Noisy thoughts wane #vssdaily #Poetry

I breathed a #song of fire And set the world alight I said it was worth it Without believing I inhaled a song of calm To set the world to rights I said I was okay Without believing I hear a song of surprise You're in my line of sight The shock of true love And I believe it #BlueSkyRelay #Poetry

We shun everyone but each other Here in our hermit-y den We accidentally met a neighbor We may not go outside again #BlueSkyRelay #Solitary #Poetry

Freshly cut fingernails Like new shoes that fit perfectly I am typing super-duper fast now The words fly - pow!-pow!-pow! Not that you can tell by reading this You'll have to take my word for it #MundanePoetry #Poetry

Autumnal spirits ride the wind And flit from tree to tree Carpeting the forest floor In ochre tapestry The breeze is getting chilly A change is in the air The spirits' dance continues on While leaving branches bare

I've been living inside my own head It's beginning to fill me with dread I was stubborn to stay I got in my own way So I think I'll be moving instead #BlueSkyRelay #Abode #Limerick #Poetry

She edges toward the stark light Basking on the hot pavement Chihuahuas love a good body bake She takes in her surroundings Then closes her #limestone eyes Napping in the comfort of the sun - For Tess, the green-eyed beauty #BlueSkyRelay #Poetry

An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.

The heights of where we started The depths of where we've come We were strong and open-hearted The top is not for everyone We can't all have grand success Some dreams only cause pain Accept our humble averageness Relieve ourselves of shame and blame #BlueSkyRelay #Depth #Poetry

Bare-faced Bare-souled I'm me This is all the there that's there Your face Wants more That's cool Search on down the road somewhere #vssdaily #bare #Poetry #Poem

Parked on a flat rock The spectacled #guillemot Basks in sea breezes #BlueSkyRelay #Senryu #Haiku #Poetry

My clothing has always been leather It's stylish and keeps off the weather For a nice change of pace I switched leather for lace My gait is now light as a feather #vssdaily #lace #Limerick #Poetry #Poem

The outlet sings like a jingle It calls me over to mingle I want to live large And get a nice charge I love an electric tingle* #BlueSkyRelay #Charge #Limerick #Poetry #Poem *Jolts of electricity, while poetically delightful, are dangerous in real life. Don't be poetic around electric outlets.

The mighty desert ziggurat A mile from top to bottom It's built out in the wastelands By a people long forgotten Each stone is but a simple step It seems an easy climb But few that try are seen again So please don't waste your time

Give in and They want more Sad black holes that won't fill #micropoem You'll hardly know you're reading it #Poetry

Not everything is our fault Think back to our intentions Did we mean well Of course we did Making our way down river With limited resources Did we try hard We did our best We've been scraping by alone Let's pool our skills and assets Hand me the oar I'll row us home #vssdaily #Oar #Poetry
