a day
of capricious clouds
summer winding down
#WordedArt #vsspoem

stargazing
always tentative
#WordedArt #vsspoem

moonless night
the burden
of carrying on
#WordedArt #vsspoem

off the grid
I keep checking
my phone signal
#WordedArt #vsspoem

enchanted island
a Who's Who
of privilege
#WordedArt #vsspoem

the future now
AI summarizes "War and Peace"
in 100 words
#WordedArt #vsspoem

dive bar
the sense that I am
an invasive species
#WordedArt #vsspoem

wedding photos
with each anniversary
we all grow younger
#WordedArt #vsspoem

in one graceful motion
the Tai-Chi master
lights a cigar
#WordedArt #vsspoem

recurring nightmare
my chalk outline
in the driveway
#WordedArt #vsspoem

heat wave
preventing
a race condition
#WordedArt #vsspoem

skywriting
everything
I've done wrong

like grilling water
snapshot of a toxic cheer
dried leaves are falling

Summer seclusion -
green narwhals tickle sky, say:
stay humble, don't brag

waiting for an email
I find a stress ball
to squeeze
#vsspoem

a spicy whistle
to squeeze out of her marrow
a smile as she leaves

nightingale sings of bonfire
smoke shapes a Selkie

defense ... it has none
power - lifeline's red thread - the
road to surrender

The perpetually disappointed
are sulking again
over a #lifeline that never came
from the same fiends
who threw them overboard

As the pissed off victims
slowly sink
into the depths of disillusionment
their final thoughts will be
about the folly
of blind gullibility

thinking I can't see them
lovers on the fire escape
#vsspoem

Feeling weird. A barrier to composition. I crave creative expression & will try #vsspoem prompts.

#Once
Can I even remember a once?

#Pen
My junior year English teacher,
from Boston, derides the lazy southern speech saying pen & pin the same.
I absorb this distinction &
become ever so slightly more estranged from my world.

#Gratitude I'm told to feel

#Lemon I buy & I love yet is the item most likely to go bad unused in my refrigerator
