😱 Ouch!
Yep
Love this!!
you bring me jazz, while I'll bring the blues, you'll tell me you love when there's nothing to lose. you bring me jazz, while I bring the blues. I'm finding the words so hard to say, you'll say that it's fine and love anyway. the jazz is all dead when you bring the blues. #fastprompt 202:5
Excellent depiction of young bitter love!
from one porch swing fling how much did I bite off? enough to bleed, they say. I was too young, so only remember the fall and not what came after. how much did I bite off? not enough to notice, a bit off the tip. what part tastes the sour or hidden desire? how much? #fastprompt 202:4
Wherever it came from in your brain - it's a lovely piece!
🤣🤣🤣 that makes sense!
Beautiful write, love it!
Let the trumpets sing me home. Let the bass strip away all your pride. Let jazz be your comfort as you finish this journey. Let it bring you the peace you never knew in life. #FastPrompt
Yeah, it should definitely be talked about more often, give young people more strategies for working through it
He did kinda tossed out at the end there
Great write!
To get to the supposed treasure, you'll need to utilize a swing. The momentum for the swings will need to be great. If you're off on the timing for the final one, you could get really hurt. A lack of distractions would be helpful, but you're not going to get that. #fastprompt
The Jazz man cometh A sound like no other Sets hearts ablaze And hatred it smother. That saxophone plays Millions of things Just stop and perk up As the music it sings. Your 5th prompt is: "jazz" Be sure to tag #fastprompt!
Excellent write!
he sits off in his room his office, his chair, he's got headphones on with nary a care. we sit and we rot until the day's gone to shadow no throw me a kiss no see you tomorrow. his bed and his chair, his shower, his air. guess I'll just sit here and see if you care. #fastprompt 202:3
👏👏 never bow! Excellent write!
treat him like a king? what should we do, bow? better that I stand here devouring him with my gaze, if looks could shoot lasers, I guess that'd be me. sitting here angry behind my computer screen. #fastprompt 202:1
Wow, love the way you wrote this! Imposter syndrome sucks though
father told me I inherited the "wiggle" but I'm no hula hoop queen. imposter syndrome got me statue still unable to do a thing. I'm the best at hiding away, blanket-wrapped bitch. 90 mph mouth got nothing to switch. #fastprompt 202:2
Fantastic write!
Have you ever wondered what this old swing has seen? How many events and history would be witnessed by just sitting on that porch swing and staring out into the world. Tomorrow the house gets brought into the modern world and the swing will be tossed out and splintered #FasrPrompt
You ever seen someone move So gracefully? A flip and a swing And boisterously? Nothing compares to moves That they bring. My hips feel the jolt Of each little fling. Your 4th prompt is: "swing" Be sure to tag #fastprompt!
Fantastic write!
On a night like this, a love would throw you a kiss just because they saw you first from the other side of a room where separate treks are trekked until you're both visible again even with the faucet on and all its murk ongoing. #fastprompt
The rope waits solemnly for my neck. I couldn't help but smile, they really just have wanted to make an example of me if they were going that route. I would die smiling and waiting for you to throw me a kiss that would never be returned. I'll wait for you in the next life. Every time. #FastPrompt
😥😥 Excellent write!
Fantastic write!
The lightness it takes to hula hoop - it's hard to find with all their hoovering up the air. No care in the world, no impudence for anything not about their world. Oh ... what a world, but the lightness close your eyes. It's there somewhere. #fastprompt #vss
I'll wish you good luck And sad wave goodbye You'll throw me a kiss As you leave, by and by. No fiddle dee dee, For ol' John Brown. Sweep you off your feet, Your frown upside down. Your 3rd prompt is: "throw me a kiss" Be sure to tag #fastprompt!
Love it!
And why not? Why shouldn't hula hoops have been the key to sealing away the darkness? Those perfect circles with the ritual necessary. It's truly amusing how often the innocent hides the macabre #FastPrompt
Excellent writing!
There are too many 'the king's here, but the 1 who loves the title the most can't go for but a short while without letting everyone around them know they're THE constellation in case you couldn't tell by all the pulsating and universe shaking. #fastprompt #vss365 #constellation
It's so easy to do! Just hula hoop And do housework! Who says chores are boring? Not with Wham-O! Your one stop For all things fun! Your 2nd prompt is: "hula hoop" Be sure to tag #fastprompt!
They say he was the King many centuries ago, back when Kings were still around. No one remembers his name and this is the only statue known of him. He's not even wearing a crown. That's all we know, though the bards will tell you a hundred tales of a hundred sins of his and his court #FastPrompt
Excellent write!
They called him the King For a reason, Those electric gyrations Moved us a season. Got us dancing And romancing And devil may care. There was a little less Conversation Romance in the air. Your 1st prompt is: "the King" Be sure to tag #fastprompt!
Welcome to the 202nd edition of #fastprompt with your hosts @jelaymon.bsky.social and @k----t.bsky.social! We're swinging back in time and letting our hair down! Write however you like & don't be a square! It's time to get moving!
Fantastic write!
Caretakers for miles and miles. Annoying sometimes, sure. But taking care not to stomp you out for being annoying and certainly trying to curb your carelessness - the numbers not on their side, but what if there were ... caretakers for miles and miles? #fastprompt
Excellent writing!
No longer enchanted, you look in that direction and see the stilted movements as the play tries to play out like it's not offstage. #fastprompt
Excellent write!
Bards knew lay of the land from thicket to where rich people stand for a little while with wine in their hands. You've hung around the thicket. Did you have to lay your head there? The songs you make don't sound like it... sound more malformed than if you did. #fastprompt #vss365
So accurate. Excellent write!
Vengeance is a cruel life choice. For vengeance will cause you no relief and no choice you make will lead anywhere but a long spiral. You will hate yourself more than anyone else possibly could and your hatred will cause more vengeance to be born. But you will always justify it. #FastPrompt
I was actually wondering if you had a specific person in mind like Aphrodite, but Cleopatra makes way more sense!
🤣🤣 Fantastic write!
#fastprompt Be the caretaker of the baby dragon, it'll be fun they said. It's an honor they said. You're a lucky lad, they said. Don't feel like one. Dang if the dragon has allergies, and I don't have any hair left to be singed.
Fantastic writing!
I spied his form from afar Arranged around him bones and skulls. I dared not saunter ever close, For vengeance was there In the spirit of the trees, And all about him were his foes. Your 5th prompt is: "vengeance" Be sure to tag #fastprompt! 🎨by Lucas Winker via Artstation
Excellent writing!
#fastprompt The enchanted land That we've never seen Beyond the turbulent seas Out of our reach Stories we heard of Land of plenty We built with our labor We are unworthy They say So we dream Of this mystical place To soothe our souls denied comfort
She was the face of beauty for centuries. But time was not kind to anyone. Not forever. So she would become just another legend. They would even attribute her features to other beautiful women throughout history. All of them would have her blessing and her curse. #FastPrompt
I once had brunch with the elf queen, She spoke not much while we had tea. Her sylvan thoughts upon the trees, And all that dwelt within her demesne. Once allowed, never to return. For mortals once enough for soul to burn. Your 4th prompt is: "elf queen" Be sure to tag #fastprompt 🎨by Rishi Shukla
Fantastic write!
We were supposed to be the caretakers. The ones who kept humanity alive in her dark sleep between the stars. But the journey took too long. We were awake. We saw things we were not meant to. We had to decide if humanity deserved caretakera or if it would be better alone #FastPrompt
🤣🤣 Excellent write!
He couldn't carry a tune in a chamber pot. His wordplay is non existent. Instrumental prowess? Nigh impossible. The worst part? He couldn't hold his liquor. So, you see, we had no choice. The duke is going to be quite cross with us.
#fastprompt We had to dismiss our bard. Best decision the party has ever made. There is nary a tavern in the realm who allows us to quench our thirst because of him. Not only were his songs devoid of praise of our godly monarch, he lacked the tools of profession.
My friends are also my caretakers, They keep my scales extra green. They say my teeth are fearsome and sharp, &they brush them oft to keep them clean. &bring me meals of savory meat, 'Tis human they say, and he was mean! Your 3rd prompt is:"caretakers" Be sure to tag #fastprompt 🎨by Diego Lafuente
Love this!
Magic is still real. The forests still have enchanted creatures and lives unknown to us. The skies still have mysteries and hold wishes for us. Just because the spells are long gone doesn't mean the effects have to fade. #FastPrompt
They gathered in The enchanted woods, Sang songs to flowers And danced with trees. But beware the fairy Who sits by old Death caps. Think naught but death And blood and soot. Your 2nd prompt is: "enchanted" Be sure to tag #fastprompt! 🎨by Helen Quinlan via Artstation
Never trust the bards. Oh truth they'll tell you sooner than the Oracle but the truth comes in jabs and takes of fools. They know you can't touch them so all men are their prey. For stories have power and they have the kings and peasants alike in their days. #FastPrompt
Excellent write!
Like every single story told There was a bard Neither young nor old, And when he lay his hands Upon his lute His bawdry words Are none too cute! Your 1st prompt is: "bard" Be sure to tag #fastprompt! 🎨by Виталий Никитин via Artstation
Welcome to the 201st session of #fastprompt with your hosts @jelaymon.bsky.social and @k----t.bsky.social! We went on a quest to return a ring to the fires of Mt Doom, got lost in the magical kingdom of the elves, & nearly eaten by spiders! We are not okay! But write for these prompts & you will be!
Excellent write!
You can live with snake bites. Depends on the snake. With some, you probably won't - but it is possible. You could maybe even be like the others waiting on it all pointed smiles their mothers or fathers bitten and something calcified within they insist on passing on. #fastprompt
Heartbreaking, and fantastic write!
I wonder how long I'll stay calcified? I've forever been this way, watching life and never living it. I see you all go past my window waving at my still form. am I ice or granite or sculpture? even I do not know. #fastprompt 200:5
Yep, good point. We'd never really know that way either
Fantastic write!
You've been held together by hate for so long your heart has been calcified. You no longer recognize anyone besides the enemy and there is no light behind your eyes anymore. You need to let go. You're war is only with yourself now and you've fought for too long. Forgive yourself.. #FastPrompt
🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic write!
As deadly as a snake bite and almost as cunning. That's what they said about her. Yet even she had someone to answer to, and fate would find her a victim to the same snakes. It had a rather cruel sense of humor. #FastPrompt
So true! Fantastic write!
There is no place quite as mysterious as Area 51. The conspiracy theories surround it for eternity and everyone knows where it is. Everyone will tell you something different about what's behind those fences. And every rumor further helps conceal what's actually there. #FastPrompt
Agreed, I'm surprised someone hasn't
The last moment before those doors open and she walks through, knocking the room breathless. It was a moment of anticipation, of uncertainty, of love. We stood there, waiting for the music to queue and the ceremony to begin. The last chance to catch our breath before everything changed #FastPrompt
You'll be calcified But I wonder how long that actually takes... When you step into the lake or years after? Your 5th prompt is: "calcified" Be sure to tag #fastprompt! 📸 via Wikipedia
Beautiful write!
Excellent write!
We call it a doomsday vault because it holds the records of our doom. We have the humility to understand we won't make it forever but the hubris to not do anything besides warn what comes next. Like these vaults would survive what we do. #FastPrompt
👏 brilliant write!
fear of the snake bite keeps you hidden, deep inside your jar of spiders, pleased that no one will think to look for you here. you will succumb one day to nature's venom, old age. and where will you be then? hiding away. hidden. unremarkable. featureless. dead. #fastprompt 200:4
Excellent write!
Most area 51 'aliens' come from parts of people that seem strange, from when aliens separated those parts and made them their own being. So ... kind, resolute, wise, trying to hide it all from their captors. #fastprompt #scifi
if you land here one snake bite will do you in. an island full of gold... of the dangerous kind. Your 4th prompt is: "snake bite" Be sure to tag #fastprompt! 📸by Monja Šebela via flickr
Love this! And honestly, I can't believe we still don't know what's there.
used to, I was curious. used to, I wondered. now? even if no one says so, we'll never know for sure, and I'm sick of trying to guess why there's an Area 51 at all. #fastprompt 200:3
Love this!
I'd visit Hades More than once And take him sunflowers To remind him of the sky. Death sounds lonely, after all, Just like life Sometimes makes you cold. #fastprompt 200:2
You're making the doomsday vault sound lovely, lol. Fantastic write!
within my doomsday vault I'm flooded and overwhelmed. do not ask me to leave it, for it is here I feel safe, safer from you. the world is too much with us as they say, and I am no longer with it. I'll go live in the Northern Lights and visit mayhem never. #fastprompt 200:1
Fantastic write!
