He watched the teens frolicking by a fire on the beach. His autobiographical novel was complete & he needed a picture for the dust_cover. His book detailed his life of pyschopathic serial killings. He readied his machete & camera. There was work to be done. #vss365 #horrorprompt

It's summer, and the fauns and dryads are in full bloom. It's their season to #frollick, and their music is somehow fragrant, sweet as roses in the air. What a pleasure to lay in the caress of warm grass, and just feel all the magic nearby, the fertility of life. #vss365

Rory liked to come to this verdant glade and sit his character down to watch the faeries #frolic and play in the clearing. It seemed so free and lacking the cares of the world. Of course he couldn’t get any closer, because faeries could be horribly vicious, but he was fine sat outside. #vss365

Dylan knew the crew enjoyed a little #frolic every now and then. They were a mixed crew of mostly young people, millions of kilometres from anywhere. Of course they would. But he couldn’t. The captain couldn’t. No matter how often he made an excuse to visit engineering and talk to Marin. #vss365

You will pay a price for defying the Order of Willful Stupidity & Convenience. Even when the Order weakens, most of its members will not pay in ways they exact. They'll frolic fully believing, perhaps least stupidly, the world will always run on some willful stupidity & convenience. #vss365 #frolic

I do like to #frolic with others ! #Shakespeare #poetry #blueSlyPoetry #relationships G'day, #vss365.

Trees, sky, and a rainbow frolic after a summer storm. Clouds drift, a bit shy. #vss365 #frolic

'Listen up everyone, it's strictly against the rules so we should definitely do it. Just don't tell Gabe. You're all invited to Faery Valley for a #frolic of an adventure. Invites below! Shhh... here he comes.' 'Pixie, what's going on?' '...Nothing.' #vss365 katemachon.com/books/

All that #frolicking has to be #exhausting. That’s why we let them do it. By bedtime they are ready to go to sleep. It’s better than putting them in the car & driving them around until they fall asleep. My sister does that. Waste of time & gas, but it works for her. #vss365 #thingstowriteabout

#vss365 #frolic Frolicking seems reserved for pups, kids and their peers But remember those of us well up in our years Include us in the fun Still here, we are not done Even if we are on the sidelines with our cheers

He sat #still trying to not #react like a fool. This would be his first time meeting someone famous & he didn’t want to ruin it. It was hard to sit still. Why hadn’t his visitor arrived yet? The phone rings. It’s the visitor’s agent saying they will not be arriving. Tears appear. #2wordprompt

That was me the little girl homing worms collecting shells and releasing crabs into the ocean that was me the detached woman crawling home #poetry

Innocent resistance Is not always the foundation of #defiance It can just as easily be The desired face Of a not so cunning stunt #Vss365

The dragon roared in #defiance at the gathered players that had brought about its doom. As it fell, few people celebrated, and those that did chose some odd ways to do so, but Rory wasn’t one to judge. He collected the plunder, summoned Esme’s mount and raced away to reach the next hunt. #vss365

It didn’t matter that Marin was proven right in the end, she had refused an order in #defiance of the chain of command and now Dylan had to discipline her. Something needed to change. She was a better engineer, but the Chief had seniority. Which left Dylan in a very awkward position. #vss365

worn smooth by all our words drawn close to the darkest longings & thinned amid passing bodies has Love relinquished its innocence and its delight? even so it returns stirred by desire's nearness & clothed in the colors of life as our oldest #defiance against all that disappears #vss365 #art Vika

The weather in Ireland is controlled, unknowingly, by a toddler in Peru. After days of sunshine and birthday parties, she is upset. She does NOT want to go to the dentist. Furrowed brow, arms crossed in total #defiance, storm clouds gather and there’s thunder in the distance. #vss365

#vss365 #poetry I wanted time to stop with my #defiance I wanted the cosmos to open up portals But Grim striked at the perfect Imperfect moment Rupturing both sky and gravity Yet Cupids arrow stays buried In my heart Digging deeper and deeper For eternity

#vss365 🚦 #defiance The history of breathing is shared where alliance and defiance are paired sides of bodies; not to be flipped like coins; not to be irreparably ripped apart; be reparable; remain as you are—now inseparable.

'In #defiance of my instructions, basic decency, the clearly labelled note, & every known principle of fair snack distribution, you went ahead & ate the last brownie, Pixie! What have you got to say for yourself?' Gulp 'Mmph. It wosh absolutely delishush. Fanks for asking, Gabe.' #vss365

In what was a show of #defiance, several dolphins surfed the #waves. Great white shark Catherine paid them no attention, preferring to go after smaller, easier to catch prey instead. She’d laid her eggs & didn’t want anything to interfere with their impending birth. #vss365 #thingstowriteabout

His white, curly hair accented his cocoa hued skin. He plucked the blues for the crowd in front of the FEC building. He ended with "This Land is Your Land". He hadn't marched, so this was his act of defiance. The G-men tried to chase him away, but the crowd jeered them. #vss365

They took their wine to the balcony. He seemed fine. His voice calm, mannerisms normal, & he was attentive. She observed him casually, but he wasn't revealing his secret. It was his odd laugh that gave him away. She pursed her lips & shoved him over the railing. #vsshorror #vss365

2/2 Within stars and shadows, moonbeams and fluttering butterfly wings I’m not just dreaming, I’m flying with ballerina legs, neverending

#vss365 #poetry 1/2 There’s a susurrus #revealing desires, through a midnight breeze, in a magical way, I can’t believe From distant memories to tomorrows horizons, in a playful peek a boo game,

The words of the character, as they mewlishly explained their actions, were quite #revealing. They tried to express themselves as someone only trying to do the right thing for the greater good, but Rory saw beyond those words. He saw the uncaring monster underneath who knew who they were. #vss365

They worked together on Magpie, acting so much in sync they may as well have worked together forever. Marin showed him things about Magpie that even Dylan had never known, #revealing hidden secrets that would have been very useful in his smuggling days. Revealing how alone Dylan had been. #vss365

#7syllablesentence #ride see the country, ride a train

#vss365 #revealing If you pay attention you know the ones who cheat They’re under the impression they’re being discreet The actions they’re concealing Are really quite revealing You know changing their tone, looking down at their feet

The monster moved to its offspring and nudged it #tenderly with its protruding point upon its beak and Rory decided to track Esme back, away from the beast. He hadn’t killed the young monster, but a hunter NPC had, and Rory didn’t need the plunder from a grieving parent. He rode away. #vss365

Dylan didn’t like others touching Magpie. He did most repairs himself, but he allowed Marin to give his ship a look over. She moved around Magpie, touching the bird almost #tenderly, and Dylan knew she would take good care of his ship. He couldn’t take his eyes off either of them at all. #vss365

"Welcome to the afterlife," the woman said #tenderly. "You are finally free of your mortal burdens." Greg examined the room. No clouds, no harps, no halos, just gray walls. "But where am I? Is this heaven or hell?" "Let me explain with a brief PowerPoint presentation..." "Oh shit." #vss365

#vss365 #tenderly The chicken and the egg began tenderly, rooted in affection and love. They proceeded gingerly to avoid damage. Wild chickens do exist in two ways: true wild ancestors called Red Junglefowl; and feral chickens, which are domestic birds that escaped capitalism to avoid being food.

You need only say His name #tenderly And he will appear To try and eat your Juicy ham sandwich #vss365
