I have loved you in #slapdash ways— unsweetened coffee, mumbled apologies and goodbyes, Valentine’s Day card without a note. Not that I care less— but you leave me tongue-tied adrift, undone. #vss365 #poetry

The targets were big enough, but the new weapons needed calibrating. As soon as they fixed those problems, practically every target would be #unmissable. At least, that was the hope. The Enemy were notorious for adapting to weapons and tactics and the advantage may well not last for long. #vss365

Her lipstick, bright red and #unmissable 💄 Coated lips so alluringly kissable💋 I bent for a taste Which she shut down with haste And informed me that wasn't permissable! 🚫 #vss365 #limerick #limerickoftheday #writersofbluesky

#vss365 #2wordprompt I remember Sun and Perfect #temperature For a #tortoise race And fireworks You called it #unmissable Which sent us On a tangent Arguing grammar And word usage The difference Between English And English You remember The beef pie At the pub And the flat tire Two different days

In your eyes is the sunrise that #unmissable line that pushes the night from the sky I have seen the sun set on other lives but only now for the last time #vss365 #poetry

Swept under the rug, Fallen leaves on the gutter. Unmissable souls. #vss365 #haiku #poetry

"On Valentines Day, I was carried by Eros himself to a glowing pool, adrift with roses. The swans sang a #symphony, but the most beautiful voice of all belonged to Venus." "Cool. I got stood up by a guy named Chuzz. I met him on Tinder." "To each their own!" #vss365

Cherry blossoms pinkish confetti cascade unmissable springtime vibes #vss365 #haiku #poems #poetry

Please forgive me for posting an "educational" haiku. (I promise NOT to make a habit of it!) Rhyme #unmissable with the word "dismissible?" Impermissible! #Vss365 #Unmissable #Language #Rhyme #HaikuSaturday #Haiku #Senryu #Poetry #MicroPoetry #Poems #Humor #Humour #LightVerse #Writing Cont....

The city wakes with no regrets To grinding roar of garbage trucks And the smell of coffee and cigarettes Street lamps clicking off in sync, the marching of a million feet While on the sidewalk, the morning news— poor #missable thing. #vss365 #poetry

hope this road leads to nowhere; hope it delivers, somehow, peace of mind… in the distance, yet more bends; each turn becomes a new friend. #vss365 #delivery #haiku #tanka #poetry #photography #eastcoastkin #ForestFriday #scape #PNW #ClassicMono #art photo: a peaceful drive through the forest

#vss365 When the #delivery boy enters, she remembers a knife in the kitchen with dried blood. Maybe it’s thirsty. He hands her a pen to sign, and a few drops of blood fall from its tip. Depraved lyrics play in her head, and suddenly she's holding the knife, but the boy is gone.

#vss365 Behind the Odd Deliverables store, she found a tin can, with 2 eye holes & a slanted mouth that matched her mood, so she placed it in her basket and biked home. She hid it from her parents under her bed, but at night she painted it purple flowers & a yellow sun, hoping it would feel better.

He opened the glass door in his chest but found only a ball of twine, and he remembered when she had floated out of reach, spinning, color and sound colliding, as she lost all sense of self. He couldn’t offer the warmth of his heart but he could keep her tethered. #SatSplat

Oh thankless December You stand there at the end of the line With your list of reminders The coulda-woulda-shouldas and regrets And I, with my bowed head and slumped shoulders— Forgive me, December For I missed your quiet #delivery of hope. #vss365 #poetry

it is not the gentle hands of night but a lover that gives no pleasure finds your soft weak places and bleeds you you wear your ragged chains and declare this is me no #adornment but only the dark knows who you really are a sacrifice naked and afraid #vss365

expectations loom all day long in human minds while some roses bloom with pain from many a thorn others wither crowns they adorn ©️Aspen #BraveWrite #vss365 #haiku #PoetryCommunity #adorn🌹 #tanka #RareDisease 🥀 #healthcare #HealthInsurance #PassTheBill youtu.be/nkqVm5aiC28?si…

We don’t need to share blades of grass to walk side by side. Fear and desire dress us in the same tattered masks. Your fingertips find my scars, and, beneath your soft gaze I lie #unadorned. You give me your pale blues and caged crimsons, and we bloom in a new shade of pain. #vss365

And what if the world has failed us And we have, in turn, failed the world For here, this morning— you and I, #unadorned, content, heart to heart #vss365 #poetry

In that quiet, at midnight, the day after Christmas, distant barking of a dog to the north, its echo to the south, from the hills. An owl on a rooftop, softly hooting, and the #symphony of chimes in the wind. #vss365 #poetry
