#WritingCommunity #vss365 #FromOneLine 406 #BSPP50 @darkxfer.bsky.social - "How long will we stay?" Argent moonlight gleamed through the window, as if to capriciously illume the uncertainty in this question. Keys tingled, as they were placed on the table. Each breath caused... 1/4

#FromOneLine 406 bsky.app/profile/koko...

How long will we stay Circling each other? This Deadly dance of chance. #FromOneLine #Prompt406 #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @fromoneline.bsky.social @megwaf.bsky.social

How long will we stay after the noise has gone? Will we leave with the crowd, clutching at souvenirs, unwilling to look back. Or will we be the person at the edge carefully clearing away remnants, a pocket of seeds saved. Left alone on our knees with dreams of a garden. #fromoneline 406

How long will we stay, asks the wind, circling the striped carousel by the winter sea. The horses rear at nothing, bridles stiff with salt. Empty chairs face the tide like patient ghosts. Even the gulls keep their distance. The ticket booth blinks once, then forgets us. #FromOneLine 406

#fromoneline #prompt #poetry

How long will we stay.. Forever and add a day This is paradise reimagined Calm kind of playground Toes in the sand Take my hand For a sunset walk Maybe tomorrow We will ride it horseback This is a dream I want to stay #FromOneLine

How long will we stay in this place, limboing, swimming around each other- forever in the pining zone listfully sighing about time #fromoneline 406 #poetry

Costco how long will we stay in this checkout line? we deserve a hotdog #FromOneLine 406 #prompt #haiku #poetry #writing #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

The question repeated itself why the #illicit #cover-up? still more clues to #unlock you claim that the crime was #miniscule and en #route noone was #hurt then why throw us #under the bus you fool and not answer but divert #FromOneLine #emoetry #vssdaily #vssmagic #vss365 #2wordprompt #WIPSnips

How long will we stay(?) Isn't really a good question when the clock has all the answers & a unique stand. If we're happy & brave we could change the rules. Stay within the dream & forget demands. The clock ticks impersonal. We know we don't believe in Adam & Eve yet We could do it #fromoneline

How long will we stay? Damn this party is lame given the #minuscule interest of the somber host as we guests play collectively who will be the first to leave game Once that dam breaks the rest of us party prisoners will finally be freed from this tedious social obligation #fromoneline #vss365

26/02/16 #fromoneline 406 how long will we stay? this home, this family how long will we endure? this violence, this madness how long will we fight? this silence, this despair how long will we live? #poetry #poem #poets #writers #writing #amwriting #blueskypoets #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity

How long will we stay until the candles burns low, until the conversation stutters and chokes, smiles slack and pale, dinner long since served and settled in our stomachs. The night shortens. Farewells grow long and lingering, until at last we make our way home. #FromOneLine #prompt

Hullo @fromoneline.bsky.social and to the terrific #fromoneline #poetry

How long will we stay #fearless with youth #enchanted with life not yet #wise to the truth til our years become #limited and can no longer #evade we'll uncover the #value in mistakes that we've made #FromOneLine #inkmine #vss365 #emoetry #vssdaily #WIPSnips

How long will we stay now that the spell has waned on the Magic Kingdom where spectacular #enchantment was once upon a time a cottage industry We can blame the greedy wizards for us rolling so cynically though maybe Mickey the fault is not in our stars but in ourselves #fromoneline #vss365 #poetry

#FromOneLine How long will we stay Hair wild in the wind Sand between our toes Just you and I This time I set up the dragon kite You lay out the blanket I wander with my pail Collecting treasure I won't keep You lounge Wine glass In hand Until one of us Is too pink

How long will we stay (?) #FromOneLine 406

how long will we stay calling love a promised land? what do we know of it if pleasure is all we name? it is touch fever the #bouncy pulse of bare skin but also dark & blues madness fused with wisdom a door flung wide past the senses both the wings & the abyss #FromOneLine 406 #vss365 #blueskypoets

How long will we stay? He won’t answer. Too long. What is the draw? Why the insistence? He’s waiting, but for what? Or perhaps who? Whatever the answer It will be wrong. #fromoneline 406

How long will we stay? Until the lights go out Until the lights come up again Until the sun rises Until it's getting dark Until we're tired Until the fat lady sings Until we get paid Until we get thrown out again #FromOneLine

How long will we stay Until the first signs of grey Or when memories fade away Others, before they could play Some missed their last hooray Or lived their lives in disarray Say what you may No one knows the day #FromOneLine

How long will we stay I have to go pee should be #cheeky & go find a tree pray no one #noticed my #subtle pee dance a #limit to my bladder menopause kicked my ass how daunting does it feel need #evaluate if Lady Tena holds I can last till 8 #FromOneLine #inkmine #emoetry #WIPSnips #2wordprompt

The question repeated itself An unrepentant refrain Teasing, taunting A brain worm without mercy #writingprompts #fromoneline 405

How long will we stay Mystified by what shouldn’t Really surprise us? How long until we give up And leave fate to run its course? How long until we face the music? How long until history From which no lessons Were learned repeats itself? #vss365 #FromOneLine 406 #poem #poetry

How long will we stay this way? where your heart is the beat of my own where as soon as you're gone I long for your return where the feeling of your skin is my religion and thoughts of you are the air I breath in please say— always. #FromOneLine 406

How long will we stay (?) In this loving embrace Given its easy to say… “I love you” But… When words fail to state Our feelings of disarray Could either of us say… To trust you #FromOneLine 406 #poetry #BlackSkyRelay

This would be the line It moved I know Do I have the resources? My head says yes. Can I ignore sweet words Puppy dog eyes, A familiar touch The trust anemic I am truly doubtful #writingprompts #fromoneline 399

How long will we stay past our expiration date is an open ended question that has #mystified many experts on us who continue to misapply standard behavioral metrics to we cheeky bastards of a non conformist time defying bent #vss365 #fromoneline #poetry #poem #inkmine

Some of you may have been wondering why I've been posting the FOL prompts from my personal account instead of here - others will no doubt have thought "she's locked herself out again!" - yup...left my coat on the internet and kept trying the wrong key to get back in - found it now, hello and hullo!

He couldn’t be found, the search went on. Into the mist, drawn ever deeper, down paths and crevices, ancient and new. They listened for signs, followed fading trails, until darkness descended; hope thinned and paled, the last ember burned out in silence. @fromoneline.bsky.social #fromoneline

Where there were clouds, massive ink blots loom. Where people once stood, there is the chill of empty space. Where words once clustered, there is only sparseness. Where rain once fell, arid lands spread, clasping like hands. #fromoneline #wheretherewereclouds @fromoneline.bsky.social

I was born in the Snow, spine of resistance, my Wings bloodied, tattered. #FromOneLine #Prompt403 #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @fromoneline.bsky.social

'Twas a minute past Seven, like clockwork, the cat Rattling her bowl. #FromOneLine #Prompt402 #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @fromoneline.bsky.social

I was born in the snow. No qualms, no shame, no drama. I was born pure, as the sky was bold, spilling flakes of ice that cut the air. Born to a cruel world, tainted and dark. In time, I met its fury. #fromoneline @fromoneline.bsky.social
