Time may flow on in steady steps Hours go through their daily reps Yet fleeting meetings we treasure Follow an unequal #measure No common time to set hearts by Sorrow in breves and joy a sigh #vss365

#vss365 #prompt Good morning. #November11th is the day we remember with gratitude the immeasurable numbers of people who died fighting fascism. We vowed it would never happen again - but here it is. I pray it doesn't prevail. Today's word is #measure

The trumpet fading Children play under no clouds So we remember #dailyhaikuprompt fading children

Her goodbye still echoes through these rooms. Ellipsis tears between fragments of arguments, brackets of what we had hanging in by a thread until the doorslam full stop. I add marginalia of regret to each page of the #literature we started but I will never finish. #vss365

#vss365 #prompt #Nov10 Greetings! I didn't want to wake up this morning,but here I am with today's word - #literature. According to Collins that is any writing of artistic merit,which isn't much help when deciding on the genre of my books.Are they literary or pulp fiction? I may go back to bed now.

The #language of the Line rose from sand fine as talc, from a pale blue base that shimmered but did not flow. 170 glassy kilometres of blinding desert sun. Hieroglyphs made more sense to everyone. Its letters carved from concrete, bent from steel, spelt out a madness we all could feel. #vss365

We sit across from each other, holding coffee cups. Small talk crumbs grow stale on the tabletop. A few sips of pleasantries remain, still warm from hot drinks drunk fast. Behind smiles tongues try to form the words we should have said, but we no longer understand each other’s #language. #vss365

Fine as dust dancing in moonlight Thin as skin of a wounded soul Whispers like wants just out of sight Taking roost and taking their toll A dawn chorus of flightless birds And we learn how to envy flight Singing of how the wide skies scold #sensewrds 142
