Hullo #vss365 and to #shoot Trigger warning: suicide

Up til now Been nonviolent But I killed a man Tonight Was just A simple drug deal— Can’t get by Without my ice Went from buying Party favors To running For my life Din’t mean to shoot A Cartel boss The blowback Won’t be nice That is… If they can catch me. But I’m fast And love the night #vss365

#vss365 The B of the Bang Target sighted aim steady settle bang!! doubt clicks a misfire ink jams syntax fizzles thin focus focus h h h hesitation t t t tremor my grip slips hand grasping but I only shoot blank verse. #shoot

I am today not who I was yesterday Nor am I now what I shall be tomorrow Evolution erosion Natural ebb and flow surfing the currents of time Perhaps change is nothing more than a state of mind A wisp of altered perception Who's to say? Tis all a crap #shoot anyway Keep the change #vss365

one day their souls will reunite kaleidoscopic auras embracing in euphoria as shooting stars in lyrical thread paint their signatures across a moonlit sapphire night so begins their eternal story of indivisible stardust smiles soaring kismet's clouds of love #vss365 #shoot #poetry 🎨 Nightcafe

drop the bright holiday cheer embrace the dark, embrace the fear don't #shoot at vaesen in the woods it wouldn't do you any good do you dance around a fallen tree or burn the log, to set them free? ghosts of ancient yules past keep living on in our hearts Good Yule 🌲 #vss365

You gotta go with the tides. Replenish when the surf comes in. Let go when the water leaves. Shoot for peace. And what if you don't make it until the next wave? Well, shoot. Too late. - #WritingCommunity #poetry #vss365 #BlueSkyRelay #whistpr

There's hunnerts more, says Beach Crow. Them owl mummers, stoats on skis. Storytelling badgers. Frogs wassailing. Waltzing trees. Cos guess wot? We can do our yuletides zactly how we please. So, I'll wish yer Hoppy Crowmas. May yer beak some sparkelies. #whistpr (tide) 10/10

#vss365 From the top of a prop plane, he walked a short plank, then dove into a floating lake. You never knew when the surface tension would break & send all that water to earth. It burst over a wedding party & made for an excellent photo shoot, everyone scurrying for cover as he spiraled overhead.

Check the tide before Entering, the secret beach Can take prisoners. #vssdaily #check #whistpr #tide #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity

take me even into your black where hurt runs thick and slick sludge where foul creatures make your heart jump lay hungry at the river's edge let me fall with you in your hollow where there is no surface to echo every field is fallow and nothing grows the only things I fear is you being far #vss365

#vss365 Seeing my photo of snow in Canada, my daughter in Ireland said, "Throw yourself backwards and make a snow angel, I'm sure Dan will #jump in and pull you out. It would make a great picture." In 2ft of snow and minus 14 temperatures? I don't think so!

It was a dance without words, two people orbiting each other, passing close enough to touch, then spinning out. Neither knowing if they might become something more or be swept up by the spring tides of another, the strawberry moon casting a line to a distant shore. #Whistpr

"You know me You know what I've done You told me, "Sleep, beautiful one" When only the moonlight shone You'd hold me 'til my heart was numb" www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHKx...

#vss365 Cloak me in light, so my dark begs for shadow Shroud me in sure hands, fitting the contours of ache For touch is a tiny wonder and I #jump into the heat of your fingertips Light your cadence on my skin a language of whispers & iris breath slipping thru me like a warm gust in the velvet hour

The first #jump station was built on Mars, the second on Pluto. After that, dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt extended Earth's reach beyond the solar system. Progress stalled at the Oort Cloud, however. Every probe and crewed mission sent into that icy dark never returned. #vss365 #microfiction

#vss365 He sat down on the wall beside her, brushing her arm, making her start. "Sorry, didn't mean to make you #jump." She gave a nervous laugh, pushing her hair behind her ear. It was shorter, he noted; it suited her. He opened his mouth to say but the words got stuck. "So where's Saturn then?"

Spilled coffee on Starship controls And now We’re lost in space I made us miss The wormhole #jump Which froze us All in place Think Captain Is unhappy— He is screaming In my face And he’s Gone scream forever Cuz for us Time hit the brakes. #vss365

The treble clef waits, and she holds her breath Random notes hover, each afraid to fall To #jump is to trust the silence where melody becomes motion She leaps and the song flies #vss365

#vss365 #Death Keep scrolling, or I will #jump out of this screen for you.

Summer is here! Far away from a mad world what kiwi Christmas holiday would be complete without a jump into the mighty Pacific Still cold enough to let you know how deep an ocean is #vss365

This would be the line I was warned about - the blue line. An invisible barrier prevented me from going beyond it. I wanted to win. I had won all the previous levels. I stopped trying to #jump over it. "I surrender." The line disappeared along with my pride. #vss365 #FromOneLine

Marketing? Very well (sigh). Big thread of all my art and books! (Most of my books are also illustrated!) Cool t-shirts and other merch with my art available in my threadless shop: whistberry.threadless.com

Where pale pink trees cast their charms on the snow beneath them, the sun catcher chases a mist along the curve of a ruby landscape, the light mandolin notes float up to me on the moonlit terrace, I have held you, even if only for a moment, and did not know. #WhistPr

#vss365 ...she lay flat against the wall at the back of her bed. Gathered her breath and slowed her pounding heart lest thy hear it. ...it was only a matter of time before they found her. The clomp of tiny shoes made her #jump. When the covers moved, she learned evil dolls could climb too.

Winter jumps right out of summer, and a new beach emerges at Narragansett again. A few gulls linger and carol through the flurry. The dogs almost have the place to themselves. The waves don’t know that anything has changed, but everything changes. #vss365 #jump

Every so often, Rory took it upon himself to see if he, or, rather, Esme, could conquer the landscape in the game. Attempting to climb and #jump over rocks to reach some place that had no path to it. Sometimes he succeeded, standing his character where no other, probably, had ever stood. #vss365

#vss365 Christmas Jumper Every jump I didn’t take stacks stacks stacks stacks up unbroken ankles, neck intact, my life carefully unruined. The tinseled air I breathe tangles with unused leaps that probability is hoarding, waiting to shove me all at o n c e. #jump

Hullo #vss365 and to #jump

The boy followed her at a distance. She was lithe and thin. She bounded across the creeping bentgrass. At the top of each #jump, she hung there for a moment, so light and aery, she must have been a spirit. His heart was bursting. It was the joy of a deer mid-leap. #vss365

this is the line and that's where she stands collecting butterflies dark stones rubbed smooth were placed carefully by his feet if there was a moment where they touched they missed it and the shadows of the evening feel so much heavier a soft light dying #fromoneline

The enormous planet was much like #Saturn from the Old Earth system. Ringed, with dozens of moons, most of which weren’t even worth mining, but it gave Dylan’s patrol somewhere to hide. A massive Enemy fleet had arrived, too many for a flight of five ships to deal with. They had to wait. #vss365

For this, I carry #gratitude. #vss365 #poetry #writingcommunity

She moves through the winter realm her gown of snow carries silence her crown gathers the glow of #saturn rings turning like ancient vows she breathes frost across the land and every tree bows to her gentle power #vss365 #Poetry #FreeVerse #MicroPoetry #SkyPoets #BlueskyPoets #Winter #Nature

Saturn moves with austere calm its rings record ancient motion each arc a ledger of force and fracture we read their silent structure seeking the hidden logic that shapes matter across deep time. #vss365 #saturn #thoughts #deepthoughts #poetry #poetsofbluesky #skypoets #blueskypoets

I look into the candle's flickering flame. Lights spangle around me, as my body disintegrates. When it reforms, I find myself in the snow beneath a star-spangled sky, Saturn's position revealing to me, that the warp succeeded. - #WritingCommunity #vsstimetravel #vssfantasy #vssmagic #vss365

- the night sky casts ebon tides pale eyes watch pale eyes guide i sway to the song of Saturn’s turning she beckons me deep begs me to fly pale eyes watch pale eyes guide you furl my wings tether my rise - #poetry #vss365 #read

#vss365 #vssdaily Dude! I can see #saturn through the telescope! . You're supposed to be looking at the naked lady in the apartment across the street... . ..oh yeah .. nice discs ..

lost in revelry in shades of #saturnalia reaping the spoils of another harvest the bounty of your skin as it joins with mine #vss365 #poetry

heart beats deep hum big swig of my rum Ahh! that’s better Ok, let’s just aim the gun Should I stay take a chance shoot & scoot burn my turn or wait for #Saturn’s karma reruns He’s in my crosshairs breathe! seconds stretch to minutes my mind races & churns ~rev #vss365
