Living in the realm of dream, surrealism, wine and song. Writes, acts, cries, has tantrums, disappears, hosts a pod.
#vss365 #poetry #surrealism

dreams are sentient memories
of eyes, sometimes blue,
of lips, anticipating, releasing
your nose, often scenting the scene
I fall into #specifics, a carousel of doubt
sinking into oblivion, your mind;
when we wake, there is sun
disappearing over the hill,
gone forever

we see the lights
become the beacon, release;
there’s a camera lens in all our eyes
an obscura, a reality of cloud;
when the doubts form,
like mountains from ocean,
burst into #action -
the curtain rises...

Obviously the game was very far from #reality, but that was fine for Rory. He didn’t care for ultra-realistic graphics and physics because he had enough of ultra-realistic in real life.

Then again, he didn’t like cartoonish games, either. There was a middle ground and the game sat in it.

Hogan understood the #reality of the situation, but, like Dylan, he kept it to himself until they were alone in their racks at the safe house.

The war was going badly. All the odds pointed toward annihilation for the human race, but that didn’t matter. All that mattered was the trying.

when the sand blasts
the creases of your skin,
freezing memories, halting
discarded elements of #reality -
doors open up, glimpses of hope
a peeling tangerine just out of reach
or perhaps, another dimension...
that’s when the cuckoo calls

#goal sends thought to gaol, wrapped in plastic
protection from the cold, from the mind, from the disasters.

fall into the bowl; we pursue perfection, dying on our sword, smiling as the blade slices; we are velvet cake, good times around the corner, promises burnt.

I’m in awe of our vss community🙏

In order 2make change, focus can help.
After understanding the true issue, the next step is to clearly define & focus on a goal

The next word comes from the acronym GROW
G is for a clearly defined goal.

The developers never failed to #issue regular new items in both the store and in-game purchase methods. It kept the variety of costumes and other items at remarkable levels.

Rory, of course, hoarded his currencies. He never knew what might come up in the future and didn’t want to miss it.

#transport

The air is dead, swollen into heady glue, we swim through smog, my transport, a glimpse of your heart,a promise once made, and then shrunk.

Can you still find the roads that let us breathe?

In the dusk, there was a whisper, turn back…

Good morning, writers!
From tomorrow your host will be the lovely & healthy Sheila @lovehealthed.bsky.social who will post at 8am GMT.
Thank you all; it's been great apart from the early mornings!
My final word is #transport - very apt as I trundle off into the sunset.

#science

I sat down, a pen scratched on paper
could hear him breathe
like a gurgling mythological monster;
enter the labyrinth, emotions like spoons
dangling before unwanted suppers,
yet he wanted science, easy explanations

I asked: how does the sea work?

Good morning. Today's word is #science.
Which is a category in my Xword book & a subject I touched on at O.level with Biology, Human Biology, and Cookery/Domestic Science.

This is my penultimate day as host, of early rising & much screen time. I will miss it, ambivalently.

#vss365 #prompt #mentalhealth

they say I have a name, something came before
like descriptive text, perhaps a colour
when the eyes first opened, a scream
assigned a #number - given a sheet
loaded into a carrier and swept off
after a year, they told me what I was
and then I couldn't breathe

Good morning.
Today's word is another from the index of my 60yo Xword solver's book, and I've made up a clue for it.

Clue: Anaesthetic you can count on.

Have you worked it out? You should, being wordsmiths!

Answer: #Number.
