She calls it a term of endearment. Really? Shouldn’t I feel all warm and special when she utters it then? Words have effect. I keep reminding her. She smirks and points to her new red dictionary. Chill, my soft Puplet #Pulp Poo, she puffs. I hear barking. My life needs rearranging.🪶 #vss365 (pulp)

I read an article beginning with ‘oh we know you probably won’t read this’. Kinda cheap, I thought, then read on. Attention span stuff. Encouraging to read with more pause/depth/investment. Yes, ok. Then it declared ‘for Gen X’ and I don’t know the boundaries. An invitation into exclusion.🪶 #vss365

Early morning sounds can seem imaginary. And I was thinking of that soggy hike in Ireland. It was near home though and the purple bell was around the neck of a friendly brown dog. Apparently I carried the password so the #bellwether licked his ok. I followed him up and around.🪶 #vss365 (bellwether)

Saturdays, Bill and Marie enjoy Family Hour. It’s important to gift kids tools to grow up ready, Bill believes. Stand tall. Poker face. Take your blows without a whimper. Arthur learns quick there are rewards to compliance. Extra meat on his plate. Nips of rye. No #flinching, he tells Ann.~ #vss365

There are lights on Mars. I saw them one night when I stood talking with Moon. The lights look weak but it might be only that I compare them to stars. Now I am distracted from my sewing. I no longer scratch out scenes beneath the willow contentedly. I eat raisins and I wonder who.🪶 #FromOneLine 389

Early mornings I almost feel a trembling from northern winds. Of course I know the difference between real and phantom! Our game is over, you don’t have to adjust your collar.

The grass goes quietly. We honour it with ceremony. I am strong and my red wheelbarrow has good tires. Dirt is cheap, like lies. I bury my failures in the new front garden. Surrender is fertile.

Ben’s the only one on his team fluent in cursive. He handwrites everything. Fen and Clarke call him The Instruments Man, taking turns hurling pen jokes.

When birds leave, I know absence most in mornings. Soon though the mundane duty of farm ritual sweeps off my awareness. The pond still reflects first light of day and wind still stirs limbs of the grand willow near the porch. The #pungence of loneliness arrives with the moonrise.🪶 #vss365 (pungent)

So grateful for his insomnia... #poetry #poemoftheday

He said the light shone through it. She should know better than to wear something so revealing. Who was she anyway? Or who did she think she was? What the hell, Maria? She thought she looked good.

Cheryl stuck the note to his desktop with a pink wad of gum. Should she wait around the corner to see his reaction? Maybe. Better to imagine him there, probably accompanied by Ham or Joker.
