"Have you stopped answering the memos from HR? Turned off your programming and smoked a cigar in the copy room. Dangled the possibility of something drastic that might be worth the roll of the dice. It isn't a sin to eat the cupcake with the lights off. I'm only asking to fill your view for a night"
That pause before "Advice" that is top notch.
Exactly!
Bad tattoos and good makeup are a recipe for scotch and incense atmosphere. And no regrets.
"I'm finding blessings under the bridge I used to walk upon, lost in my pondering. My pockets couldn't be more empty, the larder is stocked instead. Full on earthly pleasures when I once would have eaten my hopes. Years are signposts for how deep my footprints have become. The #past is a lost movie"

"There is a sweetness in running your hands over something you've built. Piece by piece, adding calloused spots to pay the toll. Savoring the grip that remains strong through the pain. Eyes taking in all of it, inspecting my handiwork. Fingertips softly on the edges and glossy surface. My creation."
© F. Scott Fitzgerald

"They were there to be chosen. Not relegated to the box of the obligated. Seen truly, heard completely, known fully. Honest love is a choice made every day. Without duress. In a realm that a matched pair crafts with gentle hands and strong conviction. The calm that doesn't need lightning" #emoetry
I open this episode with some wise words about Labor Day from Eugene V. Debs that are worth reflecting on. But then I get straight to the loud music and the fun story about Anthony Bourdain and the poems and whatnot. Please listen & share! Free/Ad-free www.mixcloud.com/KOPN/late-wi...

Now that is a delightful compliment ♥️
You've had a tasty meal from that horizon!! Suddenly, I want sherbet...I'm blaming you!!
Not in the slightest. Any beauty viewed can be savored, just like a dessert. I rather like that thought.

I appreciate your words 🤔🤔
Not cold at all.
You're welcome 🥰
Again. Adore this one 🥰
Exactly that 💜
"I learned from her what it was to #yearn for something fantastical. The magic and cleansing comfort of rain falling on old rooftops. The healing of it beating time on my closed eyes and face turned toward the heavens. As familiar as the droplets cascading from her long hair after the shower stops."
Non-monetary ways to support a book: requesting it at libraries, bookstores or comic shops. Sharing on socials. Copying & pasting your review in a few places. Word of mouth. On the mega retailers, hearting a title, following an author, carting a title, even doing a search. So crucial to visibility.
I took it yesterday. It demanded to be noticed and lived in for a while.
Thank you!

"I find her love in the firmament, tucked in the clouds of a vision quest. Fluffy and whimsical, with the air of sweet confections from my county faire. She asked me to give a blue backdrop for her always sky. I hung my eyes behind her curtains with a mouthful of pinky promises. The view above ours"
It so is!! Superb taste on her part!
I've been both the driftwood and the lighthouse. Excellent piece!!!
That mug 😍

"Raise up your tired gaze, dear one. There is beauty to encapsulate in your vision at the dying of the light. Those rays before the dark will lay you bare, make your musings naked. A few seconds to cause life to ooze into your biochemistry. A glance held too long to alter your philosophy." #emoetry
#Poetry
Yearning, pulling from the hearted gut outward, onward, beyond, toward- is constant, magnetic, tethered, bound to elsewhere, out there, somewhere, another sphere- Yearning, aching to excess from seduced soul, temptation drifting, shifting, tilting, waxing, peaking. #vss365 #poetry
#Emoetry prompt for 8/31/2025 is #Naked #writingcommunity #poetry @fafo-poets-society.bsky.social

I imagine if you drew lines between my freckles it would be constellations and my body could be a map to your today or tomorrow if you know navigation- or maybe just tell you a fortune if you believe in signs; my freckles, your stars, could be aligned #vss365 #poetry

Well played 😁
"The green is here to filter into my blood, earth in my pockets, my bones are for the soil. Cover me up, cherished maple and sycamore. Oaks proudly littered the grass with the gift of acorns. I breathe it all down patiently, waiting for the colors of autumn. I fall with the changes into a bed of me"

"Blooming only to cut" Adore that 🥰
"You see temptation labeled as uncouth tales of a serpent. Denying the embrace of a held breath shared between lips. Envy in the guise of Puritan longing. Laugh my dear ones. The fruit is sweet, and I have a bite. Then another. Take a place at the banquet and paint the walls with the heat of you."

"You hear famished in the same breath as starvation, that is a different kind of hunger. It's more the feeling of a full belly of your most loved meal and going back in for seconds. That is a need that defies necessity, the pure desire of must. A devouring and filling beyond overflowing. #Emoetry
Morning

The echoes of that thunder ring long in the memory 🖤
Be the reason the townsfolk fear going into the woods
"I am for paths in the forest that aren't a tidy space. The comforting sound of bat wings as the moon glows through the branches. Bare feet that tread on the bones of mountains and connect to the altar of strata. Hear me, Hecate. My waters are made to flow over these hills. We are dew on the grass"

"I've sold my armor for a cloak to keep the wind at bay. More scars I can handle, not the ice of fringe perception. Paint me a wanderer in asphalt landscapes, clutching the thin fabric over my nakedness. The weight from before is too much to carry. Freedom is a letting go. I kept my sword, at cost."

"The window of your exploration hasn't left you. Wonder and release are in the wild beyond your worries. Let all doors open. The waters of need can flow eternal. Your passion isn't a product to be purchased. You're allowed to have the meal and the dessert. Indulge yourself in the open you ran from."
Patchwork purpose 🥰

"Who lied and crowned you ruler. I fashioned my diadem from the bones on personal battlefields and acclaimed myself. A product of the drums and the fight with broken wings. Walking tall with clear vision and clean hands."
The beauty 😍
That's wonderful 😍
It's in all of our pasts and some of our presents.
"The gifts I have brought to the altar of companionship are many. Burned my own world down to tend the garden of another. Healed their wounds while I bled on the thick carpet. Gave all to receive the barest of crumbs in return. Then left, to wither in the heat and freeze from cold. Alone" #emoetry
