Last night I saw the most unusual thing. As streetlights shone on the street corner, shadows turned the mundane mailbox into a tall man waving me over. As I approached with caution he disappeared. Where to? I don’t know. #FromOneLine 395

I didn't write this, poison penned, needle sharp, Red letters woven, threaded, prickled, tart. Parchment scribed by one, oh, so bitter, Resenting, twisted, bloodied author. #FromOneLine 396

So grateful to be part of this. Just look at this magical cover. 🥰 Also: I can't wait!!! ✨💃💫

We should have stopped when she expressed discomfort. We should have stopped when she started screaming. We should have stopped when the power went out, but the machine kept going anyway. The lights were out, but she now emitted her own light. We should have stopped, but we no longer had control.

We should have stopped! I should have stopped! Surging, surfing extremity. Relentless passion gripped within, This loveless bond of tragedy. Wicked desire of selfish plot, Fuels only that of infamy, Leading those, participating, To lonely, selfless misery.... #FromOneLine 397

Revival I swear these prints are too big for lynx and don’t any of you say Big Foot. I’ve tracked wolf, bear: I know what I’m looking at. And what I’m not. My nan used to sing a #lullaby about hunting hill cats, said they killed the last one in 1922. Though they never did find its mate. #vss365

Star Seeds My eyes observed the grass just now At sleep 'neath winter's shroud Glistening there alive with colour Cosmic heaven~Earth abound ✨🌱✨ #simoncollinspoet #poetry #poem #poet

They were told to make a wish, but there were no stars in the sky to make one on. Instead, the moon was overly bright glowing like a searchlight. How could you make a wish on a starless night? It felt foolish, like the whole thing was a setup. They were trying to dupe her, she was certain of it. 1/5

I’m of the old guard, The please and thankyou, The after you and here you are, The bearer of niceties, Collector of kindness, The bless you when you sneeze, Would you like a cup of tea, I’m of the old guard, One of the few remaining, Sentry of a warm heart. #vsspoem guard.

He tore a page from the book In a desperate effort to erase His name from posterity He wanted to be forgotten Unnoticed, unmeasured Un-existed, un-lifed He'd been happy to just exist Under an azure sky With family and friends He'd been And that was Enough #FromOneLine 366 #vsspoem #poem #poetry

He tore a page from the book. It was that or rip a pocket from his coat. Choices never come easy but exist to propel each moment forward. He took a pen from a stone. Paused before he wrote his message between the lines. « we come from dirt/alone crawling slow/remember the bond ».🪶 #FromOneLine 366

they asked me to leave a light on those specters shrouded in residual melancholy who slip now and then through the cracks of life believing time has concealed them yet it is they who carve our regrets into burdens heavier than remorse #FromOneLine #poetry #WritingCommunity 🎨by Renée Valinoti

They asked me to leave the light on. Why? They ignored me as they walked away Waving their hands. They Expected a welcome Asked for tea & cakes. Sorry, I have no refreshments I don’t entertain & I was deep in a good book. Wouldn’t it be lovely If they fell in the lake? #FromOneLine 365 #prompt

They asked me to leave a light on in the lighthouse. But, electricity failed. There was too much wind to light a candle. I stood helplessly on the rooftop. The ships would lose way and get lost. That was when my #latent power manifested. My body was burning. #FromOneLine 365 #vss365

They asked me to leave a light on, beacon in the fog, we sat waiting their return Creaks heard on widows walks, endless pacing in the dark, days bustle blessing gone Will sails sighting come at dawn, no cormorant or mermaid omen safe passage Cruel seas treasure and tragedy yield #fromoneline 365
