The Coward's Way

There's reasons aplenty
To not take a chance,
But in the end,
None of them count —
The path of least resistance
Is the coward’s way out.

#vsspoem prompt for December 11th, 2024: Coward

First Sight

Happiness at first sight —
Attracted by your radiance,
And blessed you felt
The same with mine.




#vsspoem prompt for December 10th, 2024: Radiance

Like Life

Ain't art, like life,
Meant to be
Enjoyed before it fades?
What good is beauty
In a cage?




#vsspoem prompt for December 9th, 2024: Cage

Want It

Passion, indifference,
In equal proportions —
My whole world,
Until I no longer want it.

#vsspoem prompt for December 8th, 2024: Proportion

Cost-reward

Grounding intentions
Within established conventions,
Managing the cost-reward
Of social interaction.

#vsspoem prompt for December 7th, 2024: Convention

Ledgers

Ledgers
Never add up
To what counts.

#vsspoem prompt for December 6th, 2024: Ledger

The Sour

No matter
How deep
The agony,
Never let
The sour
Turn you
Bitter.

#vsspoem prompt for December 5th, 2024: Agony

Show Yourself

Don’t be afraid
To show yourself —
Your quirks amuse me.

#vsspoem prompt for December 4th, 2024: Quirk

Pushing Fifty

I am a
Forty-something teen
Pushing fifty,
Still chasing the dream.

#vsspoem prompt for December 3rd, 2024: Teen

The Principle

You may wonder
Why I'd care,
For either way
I won't be there.
It's the principle
Of honest emotion.




#vsspoem prompt for December 2nd, 2024: Principle

Life Is Motion

Even stagnant —
Life is motion.




#vsspoem prompt for December 1st, 2024: Stagnant

What for?

Recognise the pain?
What for?
Blinders on —
Ignore, ignore.




#vsspoem prompt for November 30th, 2024: Blinders

Leafless

I see birds
Watching me, braving the cold,
Exposed in leafless trees,
Perhaps wondering
Why I'm out —
As do I,
But I
Am going
Home.




#vsspoem prompt for November 29th, 2024: Birds

Validate Us

Veiled,
Attention the addiction.
See us, hear us, validate us.
No one listens.
No one watches.
No one cares —
Not for others.




#vsspoem prompt for November 28th, 2024: Validate

Not My Path

Henceforth,
You'll walk alone —
I can't follow,
Even though I know
Without a doubt
That you'll get lost.
It's not my path any longer.

#vsspoem prompt for November 27th, 2024: Henceforth

Add The Sweet

Naught less helpful than
Words of obvious wisdom,
Haulered from the sidelines —
When given bitter,
Add the sweet yourself.



#vsspoem prompt for November 26th, 2024: Obvious

Ashes Of A Dream

Gradients —
Life shaded
By the ashes
Of a dream
Once meant
To paint it.




#vsspoem prompt for November 25th, 2024: Gradient

Keep Giving

They make it hard
Not to be a bastard,
To keep giving
Undeserved damns.




#vsspoem prompt for November 24, 2024: Bastard

All The Shards

I loved you
With all the shards
Of my heart,
And I guess
I'll have to love
The next
With many more.




#vsspoem prompt for November 23rd, 2024: Guess

Our Immortal Soul

Art stops
Striving for beauty
When reflecting
The dark that is
Our immortal soul.
