She calls it a term of endearment. Really? Shouldn’t I feel all warm and special when she utters it then? Words have effect. I keep reminding her. She smirks and points to her new red dictionary. Chill, my soft Puplet #Pulp Poo, she puffs. I hear barking. My life needs rearranging.🪶

I stopped for corn. Found a pumpkin patch. A small boy told me he’s going to find his perfect pumpkin somewhere out there. Autumn.

I read an article beginning with ‘oh we know you probably won’t read this’. Kinda cheap, I thought, then read on. Attention span stuff. Encouraging to read with more pause/depth/investment. Yes, ok. Then it declared ‘for Gen X’ and I don’t know the boundaries. An invitation into exclusion.🪶

His name was Christian or was it Lou? I no longer recall, do you? A mighty presence, but expiration none among us breaks through. He shone bright. His #weight light. A magenta amid black and blue and white. A friend to all the yearning. A #firefly on final flight.🪶

they were hot to touch
fingers long talk talk too much
never heeding reason
reach reach it’s autumn season
colour earth in rhythm
found things belong to mystery
heat the wind and try to fly
underbreath will never satisfy
keep the rhythm of your heart
plant high seeds in your art🪶

Where can we go with just one connecting #prompt line? Let's see how many different places we can discover from just one starting point!

Start your poem/vss with the opening line :

Early morning sounds can seem imaginary. And I was thinking of that soggy hike in Ireland. It was near home though and the purple bell was around the neck of a friendly brown dog. Apparently I carried the password so the #bellwether licked his ok. I followed him up and around.🪶

Welcome writers, and friends to this Tuesday.

Take the lead, lift your story from imagination to ink

save me!
everyone’s mouths open wide
no one hears the pleas
though they all feel deep
inside the murmurs
needle threads hard messages
everyone needs someone
looking out for the harming parts

Another week passed. The doors were locked. The shades drawn. The clock stopped. Another memory took form. The shadows grew tall. The music played low. The sound was clear. The woman lay still. The end drew near. The big drum beat. She felt her feet. And she danced her blues away.🪶

Saturdays, Bill and Marie enjoy Family Hour. It’s important to gift kids tools to grow up ready, Bill believes. Stand tall. Poker face. Take your blows without a whimper. Arthur learns quick there are rewards to compliance. Extra meat on his plate. Nips of rye. No #flinching, he tells Ann.~

When fear surprises us.

On 14 September, the #vss365 prompt is: Flinching.
