visual works of art
crafted beyond the speed of light
where an accommodating universe
comprehends creative insight
earning all a place in a humble sky
where a lulling #calm
shall grant them an eternal place

she didn't #travel far
just within walking distance
bringing others
what they couldn't afford
many unable
to get around on their own
knowing what its like
to have been abandoned
#vss365#poetry
we started out
wishing to see a big brave world
believing life is free of pain
we moved on
decided what was right was always right
where nothing could go wrong
but we realized
we were young & foolish
as we climatically #traveled from youth to old age

The bus rattled through the fog. Agnes sat near the window, her kerchief damp from the mist, watching the hedgerows blur into one long gray ribbon. The rhythm of the wheels felt like a heartbeat. She told herself she was travelling home, but that was 100 years away.

#vss365#Traveled to
Another realm
Beyond
My space and time
There
I met another “Me”
Who was
In quite a bind
He’s beset
By troubles
And travails
So worse than mine
I gave
My condolences
But when
I turned to leave…
I’m knocked out
Rat steals my life
Now he
Has all my cheese

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.
they #tapered off justice threw chaos into the mix
overhauled democracy called it a profitable fix
we as citizens now face the final blow
voicing our choice for change
on display at the
voting polls
#vss365#poetry#writing#blueskypoets
clogged memories
become extinct
#enviable dreams
#taper to nightmares
replaced with fear
of missed tomorrows
dare we wish upon
magical stars for guidance
#vssmagic#BraveWrite#vss365#poetry#writing#blueskypoets
never saying no
nor backing away
accepted as fate
until today
penning volumes
about emotional abuse
#tapering what
her heavy heart refused
#vss365#poetry#writing#blueskypoets
can happiness be restored
when #tapered by remission
can #enviable dreams be adored
when paved by indecision
choosing #another way forward
deemed unretainable
reflection begging for a #second#chance
making it's #presence known
#vss365#inkMine#poetry#blueskypoets
never been a 9-5 woman
#tapered my enthusiasm
into depths of late night terrain
unworthy daylight harshness
complicating uninterrupted pain
words saved this unnerved soul
penning what i felt in my bones
today tells the #enviable story
how i survived abuse on my own
#vss365#BraveWrite#poetry
donning a black #hoodie
hiding his golden crown
traveling with heavy baggage
performing town to town
with a crew that entertains him
pledging to let things slide
being the #flashy star of the show
he must be satisfied
#vssdaily#BraveWrite#poetry
a thousand years of us
was not enough
to please the gods
for cosmic epics pale
to sparks that make
mortals rise anew
they take such delight
in our time #travel
enthralled
as the loom spins us out
again
watching threads
connect
instantly
with different names
different faces
endless graces

The Lord Protector said nothing for some time, moving across to an unlit candle and setting alight a #taper from a burning brazier. He blew it out, smoke rising and not causing his eyes to flicker at all.
Ilyna had noticed the flash of a knife under his coat. He clearly meant her to see it.

To misquote the poet:
Do not #taper into that good night.
Someone, somewhere, is hoping
you'll make yourself smaller, thinner,
that your voice dwindles into nothing.
They'll nudge you gently into shackles
you'll believe you choose to wear.
Don't.
Be LOUDER.
Get BIGGER.
Grow W I D E R.
It is not the time
to run them into ground,
to let conversations drown
beneath the rumble of guns
and the deafening sound of bombs.
It is not the time
to taper down
the voices of dissent,
for peace may never be found
unless we burst the fascist bubble and lift the heavy shroud.

A single taper burning
‘Gainst the darkness, bright
It flickers in the midnight breeze
It winks, but stay alight
A flame of hope that though its small,
Grows upon each sight
And kindles flames inside the hearts
Of all who see its light

How much
Of man's
Business
Do they
Know
Crows,
They all
Know
Doves,
See how
Much our
Eyes have
Closed
Miles of
Generations
The birds
Have come
To taper
The man's
Show

#PoetsIfDoom#haibun#storms
Storm clouds gather. Dark and ominous. Silence reigns as thunder threatens and lightning carves the sky. Sirens blare a warning. Time to choose—ignore or take heed to the warning signs.
Even strong hearts bleed;
Stormy silence cuts like knives;
Take heed—walk away.
This week's #PoetsofDoom is all to do with storms, whether it be nature or some other aspect!!! BUT to make it tricksy.
I WANT A HAIBUN!!!!! AND I WANT ONE NOW!!!!

When algorithms flood our minds
And book consumption tapers down,
Coherent thoughts are hard to find
And in a nonsense sea we drown.
