She. A concept. She stands over yonder. So far away. I. A mystery. I sit waiting by sparrows. So close. We. Our reality. We stand and sit in different places. #vss365 #reality

The falling house of wood sits within an untouched landscape. Passers-by pretend the house doesn't exist as they walk around their lives. The myth of what happened turned into a story that took on a life of its own. #vss365 #myth

those soft downcast ears A paw measures the distance to a chicken meal a grown cat full of sharp claws All she sees is a kitten #vss365 #tanka #measure

The house no one notices is where the person they call the witch lives. Quiet, yet uncomfortably loud. That is how the world outside describes 'the lady'. Uninterested in the limelight, the shadows of home become her friend. Surrounded by #Literature, she is herself. #vss365

a rebellious girl the study of politics arts were not enough the law was calling try to make a difference loving ideas altered by law school training for hierarchy the spark was fading by graduation the rebellious girl no more ready for a firm #vss365 #law #Hierarchy

torchlight under the sheet The National Geographic Best Photos of the Year using the magnifying glass fixated on the volcanoes The glorious pictures of Iceland & Greenland dreaming of falling snow turn towards urbanisation The #geography textbook has seen better days contemplating population #vss365

I look at you sometimes when you don't notice I stare at you Rarely, when you are oblivious to my presence I wonder if we, the two of us, would have spoken if you were famous when we met over 24 years ago #vss365 #famous

Fatigue has found me Through my resting elbow and my head on my hand #SpringRain #Rain #haiku #Fatigue #Poetry

The falling Spring rain comes with the sound of thunder to stop and ponder to have an education to see our nation changing #vss365 #tanka #Education

Barry had one too many tinnies, Sharon overdid the gin ratio in the punch, and Grandma sits with her whiskey. On a day such as this one today, Barry and Sharon let their bottled feelings out. Grandma watches the #domestic, the same one that happens every year, sipping away. #vss365

Driving along the winding M1 hoping my car will take me home Around the bend, the pink lady shines; a luminous ball rising in the late sky The clear pastel sunset & the lady, constantly moving in & out of view They guide me back to the ones I love, from a world full of money & ladders #SenseWrds 140

As an experiment, she decided to work, watch, & wait. An unwelcoming vibe initially felt like overthinking, until the gossipy clique started talking about the person who occupied her seat. A long line of Lawyers sat here before her, so she was kind, yet never nice. #vss365 #experiment

A new morning, the same routine to the car The way work creeps into your life From a few hours overtime to living to work Your cats grow older and older each day The plants become used to surviving alone The house learns to live without your life #vss365 #creep

cold pastel colours the heliacal rising a quiet morning #vss365 #heliacal #haiku

an empty office a deep chill in the corner flickering movement investigating the office was once a morgue unnaturally cold sitting among ghosts the terror some people feel displaced paper and files a quiet knowledge 'you know they laugh at us' undisturbed billing #vss365 #terror

that rust-red planet from the moment he could walk Mars was once his home unable to sleep watching the stars and the sky longing to return Sky Man, a Martian with a soul made of red earth longing for something #vss365 #Martian

Snide random comments "No one's got time to do that!" Bypassed for an extrovert She sits at her desk working "Yes, we all have time for that!" Smiling at the mean women Strength to keep moving on "I am unseen, yet I will be me!" Leaving nice, every day kind #vss365 #unseen

they lived in the dark once there were lights, power lines now there are candles the meaning of energy they lost the information #vss365 #energy #tanka

the bellowing wind whipping up a storm outside while we sit snugly The Void sits by the saucer another excuse for milk #vss365 #saucer #tanka

the threatening clouds thirteen atom planking teams pandemonium #vss365 #atom #planking

the leaves of Autumn to hover over the death beautiful colours picking the one that feels right press a leaf between pages #vss365 #hover #tanka

Flawless by design, the very nature of watching herself in the mirror stirs human-like emotions. Her creator said, "They will never know she is an Android. Such is her design. And, this will be their downfall". She, an 18-year-old, knows nothing of her future violence. #vss365 #Android

Big Red Desert waves the rippling arid sand dunes An ancient sunset #arid #SimpsonDesert #dunes #haiku #vss365

An unearthly hour you are enveloped inside sticky Spring-drenched sheets a fluffy weight on your chest swiped by the paw of a bear #vss365 #Unearthly #tanka

mad hissing outside The Rhinoceros beetle upturned near the door #vss365 #haiku #beetle

The waning fire smoulders They gather in the distance voices from another time deep shapes move towards the fire shapeshifting metamorphoses gather strength outside the circle waves of gooseflesh stir the spirit light and drums beat in the distance from the cursed forest cathedral #SenseWrds 129

within the layers unwrapping the cabbages sea salt sparkling leaves #SenseWrds 132 #cabbages #haiku

Unperturbed by wonky teeth, she listened to the fresh-faced boy. Conveyor belts of pretty mouths talked, yet the boy possessed a spark. No need for plastic surgery, cutie! hung in her head like the ideas. To think that she was that girl, now living a deluxe life with that boy. #vss365 #deluxe

a warm sunny day blowing a gale on and off The flowers looked stunned tree leaves become ruffled beards feeling the miffed undertone #vss365 #undertone #tanka

Fairies and a forest live on the walls of the reading book nook, where imagination takes over. She sits unencumbered by the constraints of religion & ideas, for the ancient ones know her. Sitting surrounded by stories, the nook comes alive in the rain, & the painted forest is alive #SenseWrds 130

Carrying a spade and a bucket, towards the clear, shallow pool. A baby crab kicks up some sand, and a fish, startled, tries to flee. Her small hands are not unkind, for she does not wish them harm. Running around the crystal pool, squealing and waving her spade. #SenseWrds 131

Adrift in a dream Piranhas swimming towards an uncovered foot Entering reality These shoes are tight and sticky #vss365 #piranha #tanka

An atmospheric shift. Darkening clouds seem closer, and that rain feeling. Wrapped in a Raincoat. Road smells and Petrichor perfume; slowing down to listen. Road puddles do form, the child inside comes back to life; free from adult cares. #vss365 #Raincoat

The spring verve gushing winds messing up the bushes watching the outside The sunbeams lay a soft path flowing out of the office #vss365 #verve #tanka

Ribbons, necklaces, and silk; contemplating fashion sense. Outwardly, manners to seduce; inwardly waiting for the lambs. Etiquette, and social nonsense; Ladies love the way a man acts. Channelling the Libertine within; holding on to many masquerades. #vss365 #Libertine
