"Everyone will worship ma #splendor! Instead of tryin ta hit me wit things, damn rat body..." Riz proclaimed. "Riz? Why have you locked me out?" I asked from behind the door. "Err..." "Are you practicing your global domination speech again?" "...No..." #vss365 #riztherogue

Alone in dark woods High mountains and valleys deep All natures #splendor #haiku #vss365 #poetry

The Darkness is bright For some, it's greater Than the pull of a life Feeling dead in the Sunbeams of her daylight The feeling, You know you ain’t a Creature made for Her sunbeams Her rays of light How to draw the timid Into a realm of complete night #vss365 #timid

www.evabielby.co.uk/single-post/... I'm excited to have "Toads By Midnight" featured on the Team Blog today. You can read a sample chapter here. This is a great read for junior readers who like humor and adventure. #ReadWriteRepeat #RWRTeamBlog #ChildrensBook #MG #bullies #humor #magic

#splendor comes from the Latin splendere some say splendor others say splendour the Romans didn't have this problem but it is the glory of thy splendor that hideth thee as the pslamist says and so we meditate on the meaning of the word bright like a million suns we fall down and pray #vss365

Came across this picture I drew many, many, many moons ago (at least 12 years!) So having some free moments, put some colour on it. Drew the character (Arcueid) from memory and turns out I didn't do too bad a job when comparing her to how she should have looked! #fanart

"Riz, I see you've updated our website...and I've got questions," I said. "Oh now wat?" "It's the bios you've done-" "Look, I used da only pics I'ad fukin available ya ejit!" "I was referring to you describing yourself as #timid but that's also on the list." #vss365 #riztherogue

🤣🤣 Thanks, Peter!

#Timid mouse ventures Cascading sun drips through trees The wood stirs anew #haiku #vss365 #poetry

I glance my reflection in the pool, the me of shadows and moonlit ripple. How did she come to this place? Of broken shell and #timid star, of stony sand and windswept dream? I reach, but I cannot touch her, for she floats in seas and drifts in memory. #vss365 📷 Pixabay

#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

The last thing anyone could call Dylan was #timid, and he made certain everyone in Fleet Headquarters knew it. He was justifiably angry, and if they booted him from the fleet, so be it, but they needed to hear how bad their pussyfooting had made things. There would be a reckoning either way. #vss365

Sun beat on the pavement, making a hot day hotter. He groaned as she stood. “No more.” “Get up. It was your idea, see it through.” “Uncle!” “Only 2 more, and you will fulfill your #quest of eating a vanilla cone at every stand on the island.” “Lead on.” #vss365

Leaving woods stripped of promise she prowled no man’s land in #quest of the signal that lay between absence & vertigo The horizon didn’t move yet her nerve had already crossed it Call it the sweetest flex: to outgrow the edge while it still believes it holds you #vss365 #poetry #blueskypoets

"Rite, wat #quest we goin on ta day? Da quest fer da giant golden rat? Da quest fer Thor's bottomless beer goblet?" Riz asked eagerly. "Well, looking at our finances after your spending..." I started. "Nd?" "How about the quest to the corner shop for milk?" #vss365 #riztherogue

#Quest for a fair world Seems always out of our reach Celebrate each win #vss365 #haiku #poetry

In his #quest to find answers about the fate of Delphi, Dylan stormed through Fleet Headquarters and didn’t give a damn whether he was supposed to be there or not. Someone had to know how The Enemy got through the lines and, if they didn’t, they’d better damned well find out, and soon. #vss365

For your quest I give you ribbons Red ribbons and black Bright red for the cross paths and cul-de- sacs On the branches to find your way back And black at the great divide For me to find you If you are lost On the other side #vss365 #quest #poetry

"Riz, you are #obsessed with golden rat statues, Riz," I said with a sigh. "Wat obsession?" Riz countered, while lavishly cleaning a golden rat. "So if I opened this cupboard up here none would fall out?" "No...put ya mite want ta put a hard hat on if ya do." #vss365 #riztherogue

Sad ghost within me Obsessed with the past, haunts a Memory graveyard. #vss365 #obsessed #senryu #haiku

#Obsessive desires Is twisting every worldview Truth is buried deep #haiku #vss365 #poetry

Joe sat on the end of his bed. Dad was #obsessed about his slippers. Every time Joe was a little bit naughty he’d threaten him with a whack. Though… he’d never actually hit him. Even so, just a mere mention of slippers sent a shiver down Joe’s spine. #vss365

Privately obsessed Outwardly indifferent Always searching #vss365 #obsessed

#vss365 Thos closed the door behind him and sat the other side of her desk without speaking. "If you've come to tell me I'm getting #obsessed with this, the others have all been in here first." "I've learnt it's not wise to dismiss your ideas out of hand. Tell me what you have."

"Ma model plane isn't flyin rite! Can't get enuff #velocity," Riz complained. "I see the issue," I replied. "Keep dem comments constructive or I'll bite ya." "Your 'plane' is a golden rat statue that you glued wings to." "If a soddin bee can fly so can dis!" #vss365 #riztherogue

Sometimes the sun shines so brightly you can't see even a hint of how maggot-filled the powerful are. This is particularly needless in their deal. A perfect day is supposed to be a sunny one, if only in spirit, so the no maggots round-up factor is often stellar. #horrorprompt #vss365 #stellar
