“The Daily Digest” #vss365

I’d rather rot, thanks.

At vesper hour, light doesn't vanish; it reveals what the day tried to hide. This battle asked poets to write from the line between belief and the cost of conviction. Without flinching, these Voice of Valo(U)r finalists walked through that threshold ⬇️ freeonlinesurveys.com/s/d9psr195

Hang it in the Louvre.

Got me in a chokehold fr.

Lascivious (as doors shut on The Holy Sepulchre) we make words to weaponize our fear of desire yet sit silent as missiles flatten schools and holy sites are closed #bornbattleready

When instinct doesn't flee, the heart is free to step forward — lascivious for experience — hungry for the very thing that could undo it. Our Voice of Valo(U)r finalists have the wild understanding that to feel deeply is to risk being devoured whole ⬇️ freeonlinesurveys.com/s/dvPSLEwz

WIP with a long way to go.

Lost in the lascivious nature Of a coy, careless caress So boldly does lust demand favor So fervently we acquiesce #BornBattleReady

Rawr.

Strength often shows up when life places something in front of us we're not certain we can carry. And yet — step by step, breath by breath — we do. Be grateful for the moments that stretched you past your limits. #ThankfulThursday

Lock me up.

I’ll call it fanfic 🤷‍♀️

There will be no apology for an inability to love gently. You get what you give, see, and I prefer to be adored with intense ferocity — whether at war or in harmony. #vss365

Lite me up, Herbie Hancock.

Every act of courage adds another dimension to who we are. This week’s Voice of Valo(U)r finalists stepped beyond the familiar plane, daring to reveal new facets of what it truly means to fully be. Read below, then vote for your fave ⬇️ freeonlinesurveys.com/s/BKjxruTx

DONNY OCTOPUS/LOVE ME 4 ANOTHER REASON Every now and again We hitch a ride 2 a very special place, Revealing things we cannot usually see (But surround us anyway). It teaches us 2 become unbiased wiv the truth, And #magnanimous in victory, defeat, And tedious indifference. #vss365 #BornBattleReady

Take me to another dimension Skies a hopeful blue Where pain is not mentioned Love is what the world moves Where alibis aren't needed Truth is a commodity Time for closeness heeded And lies are never told to me Yes, another dimension please Where hope and truth doesn't tease #BornBattleReady

a circular perpetual bloom of innocence of potential barely realized when lost in life’s exacting process of diminishment confounds us this perfect infinity the human condition limited captivity elusive metrics time, a grand #dimension adds subtracts blends bears a grand illusion #BornBattleReady

You’re telling me, the daylight saved this time?

Sometimes days can feel like pages of a book being scattered to the wind. When we’re unsure where our story is going, keeping ourselves together is no small feat. If you’re falling apart, know you’re not alone. Be grateful for friends who stay for the plot. #ThankfulThursday

All hail the snail 🐌

Does it consume too much space, giving nil to often take? Will it covet what is craved just to push wanting away? Can it not carry this weight? Can it not withstand the pain? Then, with loving grace, let it go. Endurance is a feat of strength — performance fit for show. #poetry

We are but chattel in this chungus life, served as tender victuals to elite parasites.

“Requiem” sings of tension between breath and burial. Between grief and grit. Between knowing the ache of loss and having the audacity to love anyway. This round’s Voice of Valo(U)r finalists stepped into that liminal space, turning mourning into music. freeonlinesurveys.com/s/pFvd2tKy

humming a tune in the early dawn to be sung at the requiem for the only love she had ever known plucking her banjo in a puddle of sorrow a cross holding vigil getting ready for his coming home the eulogy moved through the pews the story of life fully bloomed #BornBattleReady #requiem

Don't look back when it won't help. #poetry #BornBattleReady #requiem
