#vss365 #prompt #travel Yesterday we played around with the various definitions of taper. Fabulous posts. Now we need to take off and travel. Inward, outward, metaphorically, and/or literally. You decide. Let's see where we'll go today.

#travel #vss365 #poetry May the children never say I cannot travel there the page is ripped away

The log on which I sit Here three years near the day I know not how or why it travelled Bark torn and ripped away It's home now and it seems to fit To hold the seagull's fish, the ants that play Near me it sits and I wouldn't have it any other way #vss365 #travel #poetry

Fueled by plenty of coffee and passion, I'll read today's #vss365 posts with no need to #taper. Excitement provides miles of nourishment.

To the bird that's left behind The one with a broken wing The autumn sun is tapering The winter winds will start Your plight it breaks my heart There's a shelter of simple wood A bucket of seed til spring Come in come in for your own good Please trust me if you could #vss365 #taper #poetry

#vss365 #prompt #taper We covered a lot of miles yesterday. Stories, poems, and photos. Then there are days when you might want to taper. Or you just might want to keep going the distance. It all depends on your energy. Have fun.

the grey abates and the drops taper I see hues and a ray poking through light protrudes a fissure of blue colours arc the rain the wandering wind wanes again the rupture expands and I pull through #vss365 #taper #poetry

Fifteen miles today The warmth I feel and sights I see Budding leaves, red hearts and roses dot my way Too lengthy a measure most may say But I breathe in the tiny flowers of the day Bouquets I share with those I love I wander on in happiness Alone but never lonely #vss365 #miles #poetry

#vss365 #prompt #Miles We worked together yesterday and it sure looks like we conquered a lot of doubt. So now, let's see where the miles take us today. Have fun on your journeys.

The falsities are now a given Like choreography in a wrestling ring And though some lips speak with a certain candor A reassurance of dreams There remains uncertainty Elements of #doubt Fear and indecision woven in Like dangling knots In the macrame of future things #vss365

Doubt is a talk between hidden things Each weighing in Words exchanged on shaky legs before the buckling #vss365 #doubt #poetry

#vss365 #prompt #doubt Doubt can be so tricky. It sneaks in when we aren't looking. At times, we may need help to quiet it. It may even make an appearance right before we share our posts. But don't let it get in our way today. 😊

An original #vss365 writer is back. Lucky us. #Commitment 2

The sun makes a commitment to forever rise and fall again If it were to fail at any time along the way It would surely be the end of me, of us, the end of days and everything we have would fall away #vss365 #commitment #poetry

#vss365 #prompt #Commitment Once a commitment is made, sharing it publicly can help us keep it. Here's my commitment and I hope you'll join me. Find 3 new writers in our community & ❤️or repost their stories. Oh, and have fun.

outside this cold morn no fuel no heat no home #vss365 #fueling #poetry

#vss365 #prompt #fueling Gosh, I think we all need some nourishment after the bounty of creativity with yesterday's word. 🌟✨ Let's see all the different kinds of sustenance we use to keep us going. Onward and Inward.

That nervousness A flutter of beats Where are my wings No feet underneath Inside my eyes The blackness of night But it's flickering and I breathe and That air Catch and release Eyes open and I am in flight #vss365 #nervous #poetry

Sinew and fibres aligned The heart pumps with cadence The relentlessly trained mind Yet there is something else Something primal Down deep to call upon #vss365 #training #poetry

- i chased you around the backyard, your laughter just ahead of me. round and round circle upon circle we carved our path – you pretending to flee, and me in hot pursuit. there was so much mud on our sneakers, and still we came home clean. - #vss365 #poetry

#vss365 #prompt #sneakers Yesterday we all won the lottery. What great stories. Now lace up your sneakers, real or imagined, and see where you'll take off today. I'll be right there with you.

A set of sneakers on a wire High overhead those who walk by Tantalizing for the eye What does it mean and why #vss365 #sneakers #poetry

The lottery is a dream Fill an unfulfilled need A ticket to heaven On a straight road But the eye of the needle Is a slender fantasy If the fools only knew There's no voucher That will thread them through #vss365 #lottery #poetry

I gave you a gift Something unexpected You tucked it away In a far off place You'll find it one day A treasure surfacing You can cherish it Or toss it away #vss365 #unexpected #poetry

Everything physical has a date. But how you make others feel last forever. With this, my run reached the destination but never stop writing, unlike the physical, it never ends up... Like the #vss365 #prompt, which is #dead.

The dead woman walks Brain fog and needle scars The dead woman walks behind bars Once condemned Would they kill her again Are we that insane Inhumane #vss365 #dead #poetry

Our fears taught us that life was best lived in defiance. Those walls were a challenge not a deterrent. So today's #vss365 #prompt is #bravery.

I tried not to cry but the tears came anyway I wanted to be brave in your moment of grief I wanted to be steadfast I wanted to beyond belief but the tears flowed anyway Know I fought for you but couldn't keep the tears at bay #vss365 #bravery #poetry

Hi #vss365 Community. First, I want to thank @Davidcs_AW.bsky.social for being a wonderful prompt host with his selection of words. On October 16th I will be taking over hosting duties. I'm really excited to interact with you and your creations. Prompts will drop at Noon GMT. 🌻

What you hear is lower than a fjord but deeper than most secrets. They speak of their past and the ones blessed with those stories must carry on with better futures. The next #vss365 #prompt is #sound.

A dark cemetery stroll Soft ground and fresh holes No one's around Nary a sound No bones rattle No voices of the dead The outside air is empty It's all in my head #vss365 #sound #poetry

Separated and segregated, the night hides the knowledge determined to sink under the sandy banks. That's why the next #vss365 #prompt is #delta.

The tides carve out and in the lips of the #delta rivers bend kissing the sand in different places nothing's stable at the end nothing hard and steadfast breezes blowing in warm and inviting wander there that scented grass but beware no one builds on the estuary #vss365 #poetry
