On the narrow lane the chipmunk roams hidden in the bush beside our home every day darts to and fro oblivious to what the future holds run another way today I say, or hide away the sharp toothed cats are loose and out to play #poetry #poetrycommunity #poem #writingcommunity

the season pauses one foot on the bridge to spring hesitant summer #haiku #poetry #writingcommunity #photography

A thousand doors with just one key Holes with the #escutcheon of chastity A thousand tiny souls of innocence Skeletons that twist and turn Shackles with that key are buried deep While those peeping through the holes Still wander in the corridors scott-free #vss365 #poetry

Happy #Stunday My favorite picture I’ve taken at this wonderful place Bowman lake Glacier National Park Last Wednesday afternoon #artyear #eastcoastkin #scape #landscape #nationalparks

Good morning #tilley #dogs #pets #photography

Old wounded knee history under #scrutiny erect a picket fence dig the bullets from the tree bury deep the savages plant some pretty memes lock the children in a school from massacre to victory new exhibits seal the deal white sprawling fences with medals for all to see #vss365

- high in the heavens at the craggy edges of forever i whispered your name & the sonorous skies split wide the mountains crumbled i sheltered in the cave it was then your voice came soft as a juniper breeze step into the light & for the first time i hungered again - #vss365 #poetry #read

I WOULD LIKE EVERYONE INVOLVED IN MAKING THIS DECISION TO STEP ON A SERIES OF LEGOS not the union. they have been screwed repeatedly, and STILL try to get us our mail.

children pulled their arms the truck horn responded with a sonorous hum #vss365 #sonorous #poetry

The winds howled And the sea roared Sonorous waves Swallowed up the shore And macerated dunes Sunk beneath the ocean floor As the breakers returned Again and again Ravenous for more #vss365 #sonorous #poetry #photography

- you painted our front door yellow not for luck or faith or fashion but because morning light deserved a rival brighter than birdsong a capricious reflection a public confession to love’s cleansing fire - #vss365 #poetry #read

‘Welcome to Car Land, how can I help you?’ ‘I need a big car for my big family, & I hate those boxy minivans.’ ‘How ‘bout this lovely #Caprice? Drives like a dream & it’s roomy enough for a big family with no problems whatsoever.’ ‘Well, they have lots of problems, so what else ya got?’ #vss365

Around the corner of the street in the tunneled narrow corridors capricious winds rip the leaves stripping the colored robes vibrant dazzling clothes leaving only dark stark limbs chilling cold naked things the threatening silence down an open road now closed! #vss365 #caprice

I find my mind occupied with strange things #eventualities filled with fear obstacles rerun once overcome so much so that I could miss the beauty of the season but I can take those thoughts among the trees where they drop like the falling leaves lost in the beauty #vss365 #poetry #photography

Good night... #sunset #photography

Good morning... I'm ready to go... #Tilley #dogs #pets

one by one the legions tumble in the onslaught of the wind knee deep into the fiery lake still those strong, steadfast in green reminders of a season past bellwethers of a distant future hang on in the wake #vss365 #bellwether #poetry

time to dig deep to #reinvigorate the groovy of kindness and peace #poetry #vss365

Stop writing & Just kiss me ~ For tonight, ~ Let's Not Be Poets ~ Let's Be The Poem ~ #WorldPoetryDay ©Aspen Fite

The words came out like puffs of smoke from a stale cigar #extrusions lodged in the air and they hung there burning the throat and the ear no reprieve no cool breath just indigestible rings stagnant in the hot stale atmosphere #vss365 #poetry

Listen girls and boys I took stock of Tilley's toys Some strewn across the floor Some hidden by the door Except the well worn ball Each one has a name and I swear she knows them all #vss365 #stock #poetry #tilley #photography

Oh the synthesis of compassion and love nothing but doves no vultures above the hyena of hate left no meat on its bones no scraps today so slip away slip away slink away home #poetry #vss365 #synthesis

Sylvie says good morning #Newf #dogs #pets #photography

Pixie's pranks? So outrageous she ended up in Faery Court. Gabe's rule book? 365 pages long. She treats consequences like confetti. He files complaints in triplicate. But when reality starts to unravel, the dysfunctional duo morph into a world-saving #synthesis. #vss365

‘Jill? Is that you?’ ‘In the flesh. I’m not sure coming to this reunion is good for my sanity.’ ‘You look great. What’re you up to? Are you seeing anyone now?’ ‘You mean, like dating? Or a therapist? Or the #synthesis of all my perceived high school trauma into hallucinations?’ #vss365

Shed your working robes of green dwarfed by needles sandwiched in between shy tree come dance in your new dress that synthesis of yellow gold and red no more repressed step forward centre stage and pirouette #vss365 #synthesis #poetry

Good morning from Tilley #tilley #pets #dogs

Jim Crow Jim Crow straw men #conspire to rattle your bones the past be murky the truth unknown shiny new chapters to rattle your bones #vss365 #poetry

To gently release or tighten the reins To set free or restrain I am a guider not a rider No straps, no cane Let the hooves thunder over the plain #vss365 #rein #poetry

the squirrel climbs a leaf drops...ants on a magical ride #haiku #poetry

backed by it's billions religion holds many swords but morality knows how to fight and trapped in a corner It won't flinch because it knows that it's right #vss365 #flinching #poetry

The propaganda creeps like lava on a hillside thickens and hardens and they barely #flinch in their sleep as it pools in the overflow I can taste the ash and feel the heat as the lies solidify and I rue that dark roof a thousand years to uncover the truth #vss365 #poetry

cool morning mist a caterpillar climbs on a dead leaf #haiku #poetry #autumn

broken and damned no family left behind no parents weep no children cry early morning left to die drug assassination #style no one cares no one feels the void body clean up on the street cut down by an opioid #vss365 #poetry

Our future selves whisper in our ears. The #vss365 prompt for 12 September is: Potential. “For a mind to even approach its full #potential, it needs cultivation by other minds.” (Ted Chiang, The Lifecycle of Software Objects) #prompt #potential

Time moves on paint in our hands unsure if we walk clumsy if we run beware the broad strokes as we move through unknown fragile depths spilled paint torn canvas that chance for cataclysm that potential for death #vss365 #potential #poetry

No time to talk No time to play I watch you motionless in your slumber so far away #exhaustion sleeps kept at bay just until the break of day #vss365 #poetry #poem

RIP Charlie Kirk...I seldom agreed with him...but he didn't deserve to die...so much for him to learn as he was nearly a child!!

the puppets dance master of ad hominem plays with the strings #poetry #poem

Remnants of summer #autumn #summer #nature #photography

hot dry autumn air leaves shrivel and fall without turning red #haiku #poetry

I grow old have seen death so many times it's #bearable but this war and overlords in emperor's clothes It's all been done before Battles of the gods don't burn the books burn the money from the church where Jesus never comes then you'll walk safe streets alone #vss365
