  1. You try to provoke me, thinking you're sly, and that I’ll give a stage to your indefeatigable ego. But I've thoroughly travelled the scenery of your drama, and will not hold space for it, any more. Instead, I'll surrender to my own stamina. Audacious, I know. You're not the only indomitable one, here.

  2. 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.

  3. Ninguid cars block the sidewalk. Snow primped tin forms a guard of honour. A thick layer of ice on top, the frog in my throat hibernates. Once bewitched by your charm, I guess, it was fun while it lasted. For you, anyway.

    THE NET

    Getting caught in a net might be seen
    As an eventuality
    Of irksome entanglement
    But it can also mean
    Potential safety
    The question is
    Does it come
    At a
    Cost

  9. In the darkest night of my soul, a #hollow scream echoes into the night. Then, #otherworldly silence falls. I catch a #notion of a draft, then realise the giant pendant. It #swings soundless. As it changes direction, a #splash of #cerise illuminates the #celestial canvas.

  10. Prompt Writing 2023-09-03

    I say #goodbye to the #sinister energies I experience and pull back into my snail shell. The #abalone walls shimmer like a #kaleidoscope. I allow myself to breathe #softly. Here, my #beleaguered soul can unfold and remember its #mighty light. Reality shifts.

  11. #vss365 (#prompt: beleaguer)

    They were #beleaguered on all sides by waves of flowers. Devouring food crops. Rooting through structures no matter the material. Sending clouds of soporific pollen to make legged animals--including humans--lie down and be devoured.

    "Planet of the flowers," a fanciful stellar estate agent had named it, not knowing how right she was, or how many lawsuits the survivors would file against her firm for inadequate surveying.

  12. **A Father's Disappointment**

    I wonder
    What you thought when
    You hit record that day
    Did you think about
    The #bonny lad
    Just at the start of his life
    And how it was ending
    In those hungry flames
    Or were you calculating
    The views
    That this satisfying
    Of the insatiable vultures
    We all nurture
    Would get?

    Dedicated to the memory of everyone who lost their lives in the Boksburg tanker explosion, December 2022.

  13. #Vss365 (#Gardener's version)

    Aside from the #SchoolShooting, May had never heard of Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

    She was surprised to learn she'd been born in MN. Her mother was a concert #Violinist. Hearing her dad read "The Song of #Hiawatha" reduced her to tears & was her earliest memory.

    A South Florida #Conservationist, Marj wrote in her seminal #Book, The #Everglades (1947):

    "[There are] #Gardens of branching corals... [with] angelfish & #PARROTFISH... Shell creatures are everywhere."

    "WHAT are you doing?!" asked Etta as she swirled into the room w/ the pearled #Veil fresh from the seamstress.

    Lula glanced at her in the vanity mirror as she pinned a #Magnolia in her hair.
    "I thought this would do in a pinch..."

    "Nonsense," Etta dismissed the lovely notion."Besides, Nana always said,
    If the #Bonny #Bride has flowers in her hair,
    In the light of morn, she'll regret her #Wedding fair."

    The #Blossom fell out before Etta finished the verse.

  15. The street was full of children, sturdy and well bundled, flowing downhill from the neighborhoods toward the school. A cluster of teens on scooters flashed by laughing. Younger kids ran or skipped or stopped for warm cider at the corner shop.

    I, old enough to remember when streets were for cars, not kids, let them flow around me, a worn stone in their bonny river, and drank from my own mug of hot, sweet cider.

  16. #vss365

    Yesterday she was hale, #bonny. Now my little sister thrashes about on her pallet until exhaustion bids her sleep.

    The same sickness carried away half the village. And our parents.

    I lave her brow, then step outside. The night breeze brings some relief, but no answers.
