#vss365 A #jade rabbit for luck, on a silver chain worn smooth by his father, and grandfather before him. It lay heavy in the hollow of his neck, warm, alive. The weight of the trickster was hard to bear, but his path was set no matter what he wished.

The first time cats lay eyes on an abandoned puppy. Watch their reaction. Original post

#vss365 #seafoam As Heard in the Paint Aisle Seafoam green, Sage green, Celadon, Verdigris, Eau de nil, Smoked oyster? I just wanted green, Test it out on the wall, What do these even mean? Don’t make sense- Nope- Not at all. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #hammer My teen strides out, Where here be monsters, And wolves, And sharks. Where hammers swing, With force, With anger, With destruction. Oh those sweet days. When she was safe. We lived in a bubble. I watch her with prayer. Hoping, The roll of the dice Falls her way.

#vss365 #word That word, like a bubble, tripped out of my lips, I didn’t mean to say it, but there it was, floating there in front of my eyes. Take it back? Maybe, I said what needed to be said. Mesmerizing rainbows, it floated heavenward. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #water Wanting I wait. Deep the water. Hungry. I don’t care, Only that I’m fed, Sailor’s warning, They pay the price, Soon my soft, Too soon, All dead, They pray their God, I pray to mine. We wait. Deep the water. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #sink A Ladies Lament Go do the dishes, Compliant, Erased, A washer of dishes, A washer of pots. My worth is measured By what’s in the sink. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #blind Chance It’s a blind throw. What you get Is what you get. And no one cares If it don’t fit. -GoRhyme For those of us who feel a bit bleak this fine spring morning.

#vss365 He was #fascinated by her fascinator, couldn’t help it. It shimmied with life, trailing feathers of unearthly birds. Hat or creature, he honestly couldn’t say. He wasn’t entirely sure if it meant either one of them well. Where did she even get the damnable thing?

#vss365 #tempest She died, as she lived, in a tempest of temper, hurt feelings and utter chaos. It was a small wonder that her ghost didn’t burn the house down. But, at times, as a poltergeist she was useful to have around. Door to door salesman never bothered them anymore.

#vss365 The demon halted. Who would get his #endorsement? The field was filled with lovely candidates. But, who would advance the Unholy Father’s cause the best? He flipped through his phone. Easy. The choice was obvious. His minions sighed, the betting pool hardly paid anything this year.

#vss365 #poetry 📸Photodune When blossoms #waver just a little Trees shudder brittle I feel winters wrath has a hold On my spine so chillingly so Knowing I can’t let go Of yesterdays sorrow So if I crack splinter I hope The sun comes fast melding me back To what I was somekind of me before

#vss365 #mediate A War And Tweedle-Dum, And Tweedle-Dee, Conceived An awful battle. Cried Tweedle-Dum, To Tweedle-Dee, Stop! It hurts. I’m going tattle. Astonished Tweedle-Dum, Paused mid-bite. Peace? Mediate? The joy’s the fight. Chomp. —GoRhyme

#SaintPatricksDay #Irish #blessing I wrote this for St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow. Hope you enjoy. The tree is a customizable fractal, and you can enter your own text. Link below.

#vss365 #assure The Devil’s in the Details I assure you my good sir, this is the finest of linen and brocade, the lightest of silk. Direct from Paris. An outfit fit for a king. He skipped out, humming. Sadly for him he was a fool, and the Devil does love a good joke.

#vss365 #warmth In the corner of my mind, From the corner of my eye, I track phantasms full blind, In slow drift from the sky. Lord, behold this sinner. Hot draping my shoulders, The warm sun on my back. Doesn’t burn, but smolders, Nonetheless, I keep my track. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #corner I walked, Past the door to summer. Warm. Golden. But next one Was coming better. A corner. A turning. That’s all I needed, Me. And as way turned to way, The days arrived so much darker, And the door to summer, Sadly, Did not come again. - GoRhyme

#vss365 #precious #bonny Bonny baby, Beautiful, precious, Starfish hands, That grab the sky. On first breath. The universe, Waiting, Poised. Blanket unfolding, Webs of futures, Laid out Like hope. -GoRhyme

#SaintPatricksDay #Irish I built an Irish manuscript builder for St. Patrick's Day. I myself a partial to William Butler Years, so I am posting The Lake Isle of Innisfree. The link to page is in comments,

#vss365 #harmony I watched as he methodically turned the rusty dials. Under his nimble fingers, a shower of rust spun loose and landed in the fetid water below. He muttered harmony, but privately, I had my doubts. Too late for regrets.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

#vss365 #lightning Got lightning in a bottle, And sunshine in a cup, Here I go on full throttle, The Earth is down, The sun is up. Rolling, spinning, cold in space, Who knows the direction out? Existing, suspended in frenzied pace, With no clue, What it’s all about. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #spellbound #jewelry Starlink Starlight, starlight, First star I see tonight. Spellbound, Fires falling, Golden necklace. Jewelry obscene. Strung dots in the sky: Destruction? Salvation? Only man could make such beauty, And destroy In the same hand. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #magnanimous Quick! What? I done found one! A magnanimous politician. Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle! Ya’ sure did. What ya’ gonna do with him? I don’t know, heard the zoo’s paying 100 bucks each. They’re happier there anyways. Doing them a favor really if you think about it.

'Imagine, Gabe, if we had our own brownie shop. We wouldn't have to worry about it being closed or running out. There'd always be a #bountiful supply.' 'You're meant to sell them, not eat them, Pixie. And who exactly would be cooking them?' 'Trifling details, Gabe. Let me dream.' #vss365

#vss365 Bountiful. That’s what they call it, Home of the brave, Land of the free. Beautiful, All I can say is what A simply great thing to be. Give me A more perfect union, With justice, Tranquility, And liberty. Freed, It hits the spot. Sturdy, Until it’s not. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #lethargy #war The alarm. It’s six am. Fumble. Dark. The news? Let’s see if the apocalypse started last night. No, just some random bombings. And we’re off, the lethargy of another day. Maybe Jesus comes today.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ -GoRhyme

#vss365 #cataract Dust storm? Whatever it was, its eye was a cataract on the planet’s surface, a grey imperviousness. The drones sent back nothing. Val looked at it uneasily while suiting up, the eddies shifted, swirling. Malevolent. The first surface team was still missing.

#vss365 #splendor The gates of Valhara flung open and a group of surprised Vikings gaped at the splendors of modern life. The quickest of them dissected warfare and explained the situation to the others, en masse the closed the doors. They all agreed it was too violent to stay

#vss365 #poetry I’m hanging upside down From the dusty beams In the mind of my head Come & find me only if You dare to climb the stairs Without any steps & not afraid of the dark Don’t be #timid be brave I’m just a 5ft 1 lady creature Some might say from Venus But I reckon Mars

#vss365 #timid They hadn’t learned yet to be timid. The first zorks (that’s what we called them) met the nauts with kindness and curiosity. That, of course, was a lethal mistake. They fought back soon enough, but there was not much left of the planet to defend.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

#vss365 #obsessed She kept the jars stacked by the side of her bed. At night, the whisper of their wings was a gentle lullaby. John said she was obsessed, but she waved his accusations away. He was just jealous. He caught by brute force, while she was a mesmerizer. —GoRhyme

#vss365 #poetry #prose Love came along the sun rose over Jupiter Saturn & Mars But it came back from the dark side of the moon My smile then swallowed by a blackhole—whole Clouds tried to harpoon me into clear skies but even the shear #velocity of my minds heart speed, can’t bust me out

#vss365 #velocity Fighting against gravity, Sucking me down, Sucking me down, At terminal velocity, Tossing me, Tossing me around. Will I break free? Only God knows. Breath. Stretch. Run. I hold my breath, Praying, And jump to the flow. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #orbital Her life centered first around him, and then later on when they came, the children. A orbital traced in needs, desires and demands. It was only later on, when she was older and wiser, that she had the wisdom to ask herself, “Why?” —GoRhyme

#vss365 #stellar Gold star! Chef’s kiss! He stood poised. The absolute pinnacle of perfection. He knew what the news would say. As always, they would laud his performance as simply stellar. That was the truth, but what they did not know is that acting came with a price.

#FromOneLine #prompt The rich man gets his ice in the summer, the poor man gets his in the winter.

#vss355 Beastly & wild Eyes full of desire Blatant #knowingly Tread the fire Yes largely crazed But who be the spell caster Daring & carefree Neither will tell, though two do tango A vision in fairytale dreams somewhere From the dark side of the moon

#vss365 #knowingly A smirk? Yes. Insider trading? Yes. Malfeasance? Probably. But who could resist? The Time Machine was a temptation. A little nudge, and she was as powerful as a god. In fact, she chose random shifters just to preserve the element of surprise. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #crazed They danced in the wild rhythmic dance of their ancestors. First with loving invocation to the Gods, then with supplication of fervent desires. Crazed, the finale concluded in a ceremonial flushing of ice cubes. It was done. All that was left was hope. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #blatant She did all things with vim and vigor. Not only was she a blatant shoplifter, stores fell over themselves thanking her for her patronage. Her downfall? It was simple. She fell for a philanderer, and the hunter became the hunted. -GoRhyme

#vss365 #beastly Beastly? They called him an animal? At least he was governed by rhythm, a werewolf only when the moon called. They were beasts when the sun shone for no other reason but desire. -GoRhyme
