Books from my past will provide the prompt words. So itโs fitting that today, 1 September 2025, the #vss365 prompt word is: Past. โAnyone can create the future but only a wise man can create the #past.โ (Vladimir Nabokov, Bend Sinister) Image: lux werk (Pexels) #past #prompt

You have interest/desire, a willingness to learn & those things make you a writer. You donโt have to be a professional, you just have to want to write. There are many formats including free form which has nothing rigid about it. If you want to know more, look up haiku, sonnet, acrostic, clerihew
words waiting in a #queue to become a poem (I just wish they would wait more orderly. But no, one pushes the other, another chews gum & yet another plays with his mobile the whole time - a bit like one of my classes). #BlueSkyRelay
There's upheaval in the bedroom, sounds of protest in the wardrobe. When I open the door, I have to dodge socks thrown at me. My #orange shirt complains that I haven't worn it in a longer time. Rest assured, old friend, your time will come again. Still, negotiations take all afternoon. #whistpr
look but don't smell corpse flower in bloom #vss365 #pungent
#blueskyrelay Days and nights I watch Medicating wounds Listening As you pour Your soul Into the world For the last time Comforting Loved ones Holding their hands Their hearts As you pass And then I go home And #charge My very core With the silence Of the forest And the sea So I can do it Again
#vss365 Your words Lingered With a #pungent Aroma Bitter, acrid Like burned bacon Shouted Mountainous Suffocating I saturated myself In them Curled up tight On the rug Immobile The dog Curled up Beside me Licked my face So I didn't die Alone
yes, that is how you do it you don't have to use the prompt #7syllablesentence
Oh shoot I used the word from the other thing. Sorry. Flit Time is flitting past the pain.

Everyone is welcome to join and write something! Here is your #BlueSkyRelay #prompt for Aug 29: #CHARGE Charge has many meanings, such as cost, accusation, forceful movement, or stored energy. ๐๐๐ You don't need lightning in a bottle to start writing, just a spark โจ๏ธ

#VSS365 #prompt #PUNGENT The VSS365 prompt word for Aug 29, '25 is PUNGENT - having a sharp, strong, or biting taste or smell, often unpleasant or overwhelming. "Dude. The leftovers are pungent." Metaphorically, "The crime scene's pungent air of mystery."
As I stand under the trees And still see the world with new eyes On legs preparing for my next adventure Time and the stars The moon and the sun Flow through me like a river We all have come here To gather experiences -- And pay attention to moments of living
And suddenly, what we were so #impatient for is here: A cool, rainy day and not even yet September. It reminds us that even the harshest summers end - Our mother's wheel still turns, and she even sometimes shows us mercy. #emoetry #prompt #poem #poetry #writing #bloomscrolling #photography
A writer doesn't have to know everything about writing, be published, be well-read, or feel driven to write every day. Writing is simply using the stuff of living, or our imagination, as a catalyst for expressing our thoughts and feelings. The fact that you wrote something means you are a writer.
Iโm def not a writer nor do I fully understand how to properly format a poem but this is what I came up with.
I am blown away by the many different creative takes on the #prompt #queue for #BlueSkyRelay - amazing job, everyone!
Thank you for throwing some shade. Today's #7syllablesentence is about swiftly moving to and fro. The #prompt word is #flit. Hope you're having fun with it, thanks for your fantastic lines. Gonna react/repost later today. #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #inspiration

Thank you. I don't write poems like this as much as I used to because I don't want to think about humanity's reluctance to change.
We're expected to be #jovial while taking a #tincture for 2,000 years that makes us vomit but we've not yet stopped them from poisoning us with their deadly lies in a book that told us there will always be war which makes them build more war machines than they did last year. #vss365 #blueskyrelay

#VSS365 #prompt #JOVIAL The VSS365 prompt word for Aug 27, '25 is JOVIAL - Cheerful, friendly, full of high-spirited merriment. "A jovial fellow in a red suit ate the cookies I forgot by the fire last night."
Thank you. Yes, it's definitely worth it. And December will be here soon.๐ฌโค๏ธ๐๏ธ๐ณ
I'm on the same plan. Getting back to boat work after a few days break. It sure feels good to feel good.
Romance has #hampered us, a chain beating around our necks. I once bowed to the pain and told myself it was worth it. Now my soul is fibrous and hard as disease. The cowardice of the undead drowns out #audacious poetry. Love's skeleton is boiled alive. We think it's progress. #emoetry #vss365
It's hard to heal in a damaged world where butterflies and yellow jackets pour from the same kiss. #poetry
We always feared the pain was a circle; #impatient for love to birth, fidgeting until we could see the break. #emoetry #poetry
TODAY IS THE DAY! My new #poetry collection, The Line Breaks Between Lives, is out now! I've put so much effort into this one; it's beautiful, it's ugly, it's witty. It bares teeth and blooms flowers! www.amazon.com/Line-Breaks-...

#EarwormOfTheDay: Waiting Room by Fugazi Thanks to @fhpowellwriter.bsky.social & his #BlueSkyRelay prompt #waiting_room, I've been singing this song all morning long - it's also one of the songs that made me appreciate the #bass more. #vss365 www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3LX...
An #audacious green owl flutters around my head, rather excitedly. "Your Swedish won't practice itself" it screeches, throwing word cards like "hรถst", "bakom" or "kvinna" at me. I nod obeyingly & finish another almost perfect lesson. #vss365
He said, the light shone through it. Apart from that, it was the likeness of his late mother, floating towards him, one arm outstretched, gently caressing his cheek, saying: "My son, those unbelievable stories you always tell". #FromOneLine
I talk to our fridge just like to a #sentient being. He normally answers in a low #bass voice. Apart from you, my plushies give me the best advice. Sometimes I even talk to my books. They give the most eloquent answers (if they're always right is a different matter altogether). #vss365
Have you heard about the writer who got lost in the #thicket of his own sentence & who fought his way back only with an exclamation mark? He never finished his line, though... #whistpr
God of Apathy God didn't flood anything; it was the cycle of nature that gives life then rips it away from us. We are born then we live a little and then we die. If God wanted to give us Hope It would stop people from dropping bombs on babies.

#Emoetry prompt for 8/27/2025 is #Jealous #writingcommunity #poetry @fafo-poets-society.bsky.social
I'm not sure whether art has helped civilization to thrive, or only provided distractions during 300,000 years of homo sapiens' warring. But, it's not over 'til it's over.
Even though there is so much violence and viciousness in the world, the fact that we have music and poetry and art leads me to believe that, without such beauty, we truly would have killed ourselves off by now.
Saw a meme last month and wish I'd saved it, but it was brilliant. It said: The difference between booze and weed is that five drunk guys will start a fight and five stoned guys will start a band.
Fleetwood Mac "Hold Me" #SOD #SongoftheDay 2025-0808 While not my personal fav Mac song, this one I hold as an example of perfection of songcraft: structure, production, performance, recording, how every member contributes ... a truly brilliant song youtu.be/E0sha1XfHxw?...
Good morning from the river. Being emotionally healthy when you're not in a relationship is different than when you're in a relationship. A committed, long distance relationship is challenging when you're 8,700 miles/14,000 km from the person you love. But I never give up. And neither does she.
