A lovely write.. 💜
What more is there To endure 2am Sleep deposits me In a lost dream The ticket collector smiles Punches bird-shaped holes #eluding capture They turn to starlight In my hand A neon question Swings in the wind: Does the quill retain words Or just the slither Of ink? This is when I need you #vss365
Shells and bones collapse into silence, whispers pressed flat by centuries. What time devours, stone preserves, stacking layer upon layer. I bleed words into the void, fragile as breath. #Limestone will outlast me, and it will not remember my name. #blueskyrelay #writing #prompt
I'm sure all the "accounts" that are following me are not seeing my content. Certainly without tags, no one sees anything. Even with tags, some people find my stuff. And with that, just a handful engage. We're a society trained to just tap like and scroll, scroll, scroll.
The #front is curated, polished for strangers. The #garden behind sags with weeds, half-dead and honest. #2wordprompt #prompt #writing
the rabbit took my carrot from #garden up #front #eluded my stick #vss365 #2WordPrompt #haiku #senryu #Oulens #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry #poetrycommunity #poems #poetry
Countless days of pained expressions, poison darted words bullseye landed; Over years, expression becomes blank, frozen a deer in headlights, now stone replaces reaction; you don’t smile, you look sad, you seem- tired- a mask, hiding pain #emoetry #poetry

His name is Mr. Buttermilk He’s Satan’s Civil servant The Devil’s Bounty hunter Whose hunt for souls Is fervent I owe my soul To Lucifer It’s why I’m on the run But nothing Stops Mr. B— No club No knife No gun I use A magic cloak To elude The Milky One #vss365
It feels like a punishment, a cosmic karmic retribution for some past life; it feels like happiness has #eluded you, not meant for you, you don’t deserve it; it feels like this is all there is, an endless this, a mind trapped in itself; It can consume you, depression #vss365 #poetry

Hours stack like bones. I wait for meaning to come, but void keeps the chair. #haikufeels #patient #haiku #poetry
You post, they vanish. Numbers rise, voices fall. Applause hides behind locked screens, compliments wither before they’re born. I slip between the promise and the silence, and I never get caught. Signed, #Elude. #vss365 #prompt #writing #5amwritersclub
#inkmine #prompt #writing #5amwritersclub #Deceit is the follower count. #Rumors whisper of community. #Lies inflate the numbers. #Obsequious nods scroll by, #revile never clicks, #excoriate never comments. Social media: the art of shouting into padded walls.
The teeth don’t quite catch anymore. Every tug snags, every pull resists. Once it ran smooth, closing worlds with a flick. Now the fabric frays, the track misaligns. Maybe it isn’t the #zipper that’s broken. Maybe I just stopped needing to keep anything shut. #vssdaily #writing #5amwritersclub
Over 950 people “follow” me. Yet, a mere handful engage. Maybe I should post existential dread in sandwich form. That time of year to rethink my purpose, if there is any at all.
Thank you, @knickersnpearls.bsky.social, for the repost... : )

A tourist went swimming at night, His shorts disappeared out of sight. He surfaced half-baked, And fully butt-naked, Then ran through the moon’s silver light. #emoetry #prompt #naked #poetry #limerick #writing
I live in the cracks between your thoughts. You call me illness. I call myself home. I gnaw at your certainties, paint shadows over your light, and when you name me “mad,” I smile, because you still believe I am separate from you. #emoetry #poetry #mad

heh, thank you Tré 💜🫠
I don't believe anything about such things until I see proof. Too much BS out there.
A beautiful write, Tré! 💜🫠
You could invade the US and steal the old f*ck in the "white house" (ROTFL) Sorry.. I normally don't get political on my timeline. :)
Thank you.. they, of course, were meant as single haiku, but I agree the pairing works well for those four. :)

#vss365 #prompt #writing #pungent I arrive uninvited, seeping into cracks and lungs. You wrinkle your nose, but too late. You have already breathed me in. I linger where something has spoiled. I am the warning before the body is found.
I carry the weight of centuries, low beneath the salted skin of waves. Cold is not a feeling to me, it is the only truth I have left. Above, gulls circle. Below, whales whisper. I remain, patient, waiting to break what drifts too near. #2WordPrompt #prompt #poetry #low #cold #writing
Thank you, Anna. I was quite surprised that of the 10 haiku I submitted, the editor accepted all of them. :)
#SenseWrds #prompt No. 112 #creativewriting #writing The horizon thinned into silence. Colors leached into each other, pale to ash, gold to bruised violet. Nothing moved, yet everything seemed to retreat. Even the air bent low, as if reluctant to keep its shape.
That's why it's called creative writing.. :)
Thank you.. I find myself writing a lot from that perspective. Along with a few self-imposed "rules" when responding to writing prompts... makes things more fun. :) 💜✨

His face was slack and a trace of drool escaped his thin lips. She grabbed the remote and turned off the television. “Hey, I was watching that!” “You weren’t even #sentient. What was the score?” “29-15.” “110-109. I rest my case.” “Crap. Did I tape it?” “Nope.”#vss365

Great poem here! Hmm.. catatonic.. now there's a fun word.. :)
Great write!
I blink, I buzz, I swallow quarters whole. That’s the #game: I win, they lose. Glass smudged, flippers slapped, wires #melt in the boardwalk heat. They cheer, they curse, they always come back. I just stand here, laughing in lights. #2WordPrompt #prompt #writing #poetsofbluesky #poetry
Now that I've reached the "no more fucks to give" zone, I just do my thing and let the lemmings go about their way. :)
I can't remember why I walked into the kitchen at 3 am, but I can remember interesting lines once spoken near me. lol

That is the one thing we can predict about people, is that they are consistently unpredictable.

It grows louder in silence, louder in waiting, until the air itself feels slow. #Impatient sits in the room, tapping its heel, rolling its eyes. The kettle isn’t quick enough, the page won’t turn itself, the hour dares to crawl. #emoetry #prompt #poetry #poetsofbluesky
thank you, friend.. 😊💜🫠
