"Looks like sumone put da curse on da #escutcheon on da lock so we wudn't notice straight away," Riz noted. "Fascinating..." I said with a sigh. "Dey made it look real pretty too." "I'm currently rolled up in a possessed rug." "Always bout you ain't it." #vss365 #riztherogue

My hearts #escutcheon Is displayed for all to see Hiding all my scars #haiku #vss365

‘Wait! We can’t go in there!’ ‘Why?’ ‘You see that on the door? That #escutcheon? I’ve seen that on a documentary. It means this house is protected by spirits. It’s haunted.’ ‘Nice try. My mom got this from Restoration Hardware.’ ‘You sure?’ ‘Yes. Now, let’s go meet my parents.’ #vss365

"Don't know why ya puttin ma expenses unda #scrutiny," Riz pouted. "Because you seem to get away with a lot...like this, £200 on a rat special?" "Dats da best deal ma stylist cud do!" "You have a stylist!" "Well, duh, lookin dis fine is 'ard work." #vss365 #riztherogue

When I got to the after place, I presented all my life for #scrutiny. I expected weighing scales and feathers, or wings and white robes. Instead, there was a bored child who looked older than time. He glanced over everything I had been, then nodded towards two doors that both looked the same #vss365

The swifts are gone Or going, mama The tides have turned rough The flowers are all dying, mama & the music is too soft The clouds are gathering & snarling Amongst the rooks & crows The salt is wearing down the rocks & the pebbles have grown too many holes How sad it is Mama That swifts have all gone

A lovers #caprice Emotions swirl like the sea My heart capsizing #vss365 #haiku

Apparently urged on by #caprice Young Thomas unfeathered three geese Asked to put into words Why he'd tortured the birds, Thomas said he was making a fleece. #vss365 #limerick #writersofbluesky #limerickoftheday

i don't often open up my heart it's been hurt far too many times but when i do when i believe in an eventuality that is true & i let your tender light in my trusting poetic soul will ascend the shadowed peaks of doubt with my cherished dreams of love tumbling into the arms of you #vss365

Being ready for An #eventuality Like a crazy cat #vss365 #haiku

"As da resident #bellwether fer dis business, nay industry! I expect ta be given da respect I deserve!" Riz said slamming his little rat fist on the table. "And what trends have you set recently?" I asked. 'I got a talkin rats allowed sign added ta da bar." #vss365 #riztherogue

Words incite hatred Followed like a #bellwether Spiralling straight down #vss365 #haiku

"Ahh, isn't da smell of gold so #reinvigorating?" Riz asked as he clutched the chest. "Wouldn't know as I'm still caught in this trap you set off!" I replied. "Sumtimes ya have ta make sacrifices in orda ta win." "And how are you getting home again?" "Bugga." #vss365 #riztherogue

My doubts as kindling Fire #reinvigorates me A phoenix reborn #vss365 #haiku

Was once Great superhero But Time left me Old and slow Til one day Glowing green rock #Reinvigorates My flow There’s problem With the rock, though— It corrupts My hero’s soul So I bargain With the devil As evil Takes control Til only Path to power Is to choose The villain’s role #vss365

#vss365 I used to dread this time of year, a time in childhood that was full of pain. Therapy has taught me to #reinvigorate my world instead of following the old patterns, set by my father. Now, I bring colour in, get my knitting groove on, cook stodge. I slip into Autumn like a warm bubble bath.

#Perhaps tomorrow will be better. Perhaps we'll root for each other's success - if not as individuals, at least as one humanity. Perhaps the earth will forgive us for taking her for granted and will choose not to wipe out more communities with fire and winds. Perhaps we can remember joy. #vss365

"Who would have thought we could have a successful date night at your place," Valarie said. "When there's a will, there's a way," I replied. " #Perhaps you can tell me what you did with Riz now?" "Nothing, he's still sleeping off his last drinking session." #vss365 #riztherogue

Sitting in silence Eyes never meeting at all #Perhaps it is dead #haiku #vss365

#vss365 #perhaps some of you could point me in the direction of a writers only platform where politics is banned? I left Twitter a couple of years ago because it was relentless, only been here a month and it feels the same. I know the world is shit but I want to escape into fiction now please.

..new moon & solar eclipse today–if you feel this👇the good news? you're normal <wink> it's in virgo–so think: order. stability. routine (daily, health, finance, work, life). don't do it all. just start✨ #astrology #zen #life #virgo #newmoon #eclipse #moon #nature #spirituality #philosophy #health

The homeless warm cold hands around him: Bundled mothers and babies. Tired-eyed men. Dirty faced urchins in his crackling light. “Let me tell you an old story,” the fire elemental says. “Of the wizard that enslaved me, the hero that freed me, and of hope.” #vss #sff

A #catastrophic Failure Of our spaceship Is bad news We stop air leak But not before We’re gone need One less crew The crew thinks We should draw straws I don’t share That point of view I come from Sailing family & I do What Captains do I cycle Out the airlock Floating slowly Out of view #vss365

"It's a #catastrophe! Activate red alert!" Riz shouted. "I'm not changing the bulb in your alert sign. What's wrong?" "Valarie washed her clothes wit mine, now dey're ruined!" "Mr Snookums your pink mouse teddy is in there as well." "Don't blame Mr Snookums!" #vss365 #riztherogue
