Hello, Sir Malice. Are you satisfied?
#vss365#BlueSkyPoets#Inkmine#writingprompt#poetrycommunity#writingcommunity
Some cracks on my bench,
Formed during those fueling days—
One day too many.
Turning some loose fragments, thoughts,
From failures into thesis.
(my days spent on those broken university outdoor benches as I studied)

Hello Wild Walk #writers
Bench in an alcove,
A place to sit, rest, and watch
As the world goes by
Your word today is

Life update:
I am beginning to get a slight tan from all the driving I did delivering mom's vegetable chips for her chips business.
My motorcycle driving skills are getting "better" but also I am extra tired.
I'll dream of something when I fall asleep... hopefully not chips related. 😅
Hello #PoetsOfDoom 😈
This week I want you to find beauty in the most unlikely of places.

The Old Photograph
Shoving the pram with her baby sister in it over the rubble, her gaze fell on one piece that still had the plaque with their house number on it. The sneakers must have overlooked it on their...
1/7
Some things I am committed to doing moving forward:
-Read more books to reduce "online noise"
-Find a new hobby or game to play
-Being kinder to myself
-Not forcing myself to write if I can't
-Being mindful of what I write
I recently got into Palia so I will focus on that too. ✨

21, my first job. I was hired as a call center agent for a retail job (Amazon) in 2016, and not only were the customers unbearably rude, my boss was often breathing down on my neck, constantly berating me for horrible surveys that I quit after six months. 🥲
I was transferred to a different division of that call center after that, where they reprofiled me for AT&T Blue, which I also quit afterwards because the sales metrics were obscene, and so much fraud was happening, that I just stopped reporting to work.
During my break, my mom started her vegetable chips business which has been popping off as of late.
Every single day I have to do deliveries to her customers, and I have picked up my own customers along the way.
It makes me happy seeing mom in her element again post surgery. 🥹
Hi all, it's me. 🙂
I'm still alive and happier than I've been in a while. The break definitely helped, and I have enjoyed my time away, so thank you.
I have some inspiration for PoetsOfDoom so stay tuned! Still will be lowkey for a while until I fully recover. ✨
See you all soon!
Hello #7SyllableSquad!
Thank you for the well wishes, I will be logging off shortly but before I do, we have the following people who will host in my stead. 💜
Thank you for this, I wish I didn't have to do this but I need to take care of myself first.
Love you all, see you in November ✨
Great! How about this?

We can continue cycle through this order again if needed. I am just happy to help keep it going!
Hi all,
I feel like I need a bit of a break from being online for a few weeks for my own mental health, so I would like to announce that I want a couple of people who are willing to host #7SyllableSquad temporarily until I recover.
If you're interested, I'm looking for three potential hosts

It helps to know Bu Shi is a muse/alter ego I created in the early 2010s to post haiku/senryu, it also helps to know they don’t use the lettters L and T, but the poem uses all of the other letters. Our pseudo relationship is sometimes contentious.
Happy #PoemsAbout folks, here's my quick contribution to #DeadLetters - will check back later to read others! Thanks @thebrokenspine.co.uk#poetry#poetrycommunity

In his anger, he whispers
that living with her is like inhabiting
one of her terminally unfinished epistolary novels.
He'd love her to end it.

A little stumped by today's #PoemsAbout prompt #DeadLetters so here's quite an old poem which I think works. Many thanks @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk for the challenge. Will read and respond to other offerings later
41th Day Of #7SyllableSquad (Sept 25)
Happy Friday! Welcome to your daily dose of #7SyllableSquad. As a reminder, this prompt is a placeholder for 7SyllableSentence until Gabe returns.
Today's word is #Sirens#7SyllableSentence#writingprompt#poetry#poetrycommunity#writingcommunity
Your screaming hunger,
Your desires swallowed into
your chilling abyss,
Your constant thrill-seeking ways,
The jaws of eaten fish jaws.

One thing about OSDD is all experiences feel like they're passing through a cave, echoing each time, and a version of each memory is absorbed by one mode.
So for my anger to be diffused, or trauma to be healed, each mode should agree that they're ok with what happened, and that they're past it.
At the moment, my six modes and four voices agree on certain things, but disagree on others. Some differences feel irreconcilable, like if people deserve forgiveness, or if pineapple on pizza is a valid pizza.
Oh well. 🤷
