Showing prompts for July 16th, 2024 until August 4th, 2024.
From faith misplaced
#vsspoem prompt for August 4th, 2024: Misplace
To faith miskept —
Expect the mirage,
And see to its creation.
Forever’s shorter
#vsspoem prompt for August 3rd, 2024: Short
With every tomorrow
Breaking day.
Transience liberates —
#vsspoem prompt for August 2nd, 2024: Transience
Nothing eternal
Will ever be free.
Words of beauty,
#vsspoem prompt for August 1st, 2024: Red
Words of love,
Sentiments long since dead —
Of the colors I once painted,
All faded
But the deepest,
Darkest
Red.
Lessons in failure,
#vsspoem prompt for July 31st, 2024: Glee
Rooted in glee —
It may suck for you,
But it was so much fun
For me.
If this, to you,
#vsspoem prompt for July 30th, 2024: Cancel
Is meaning,
Then go ahead
And cancel me —
I won't subscribe
To prejudice and ignorance.
If this, to you,
Rings true,
Then nevermind,
I'll show myself the door —
Anything less would be hypocrisy.
Choice is
#vsspoem prompt for July 29th, 2024: Finite
The illusion
Of finite
Possibilities.
Savoring gloom
#vsspoem prompt for July 28th, 2024: Gloom
On smoldering days —
I'm fine.
Leave me be
And go away.
Like it's a disease —
#vsspoem prompt for July 27th, 2024: Alert
The human condition,
Something to be overcome.
Spoiler alert,
We will never heal from this.
Blazing paths of sweet resistance,
#vsspoem prompt forJuly 26th, 2024: Blaze
The fastest route to any heart —
Nothing good’s ever
Expected to come easy,
So I might as well
Play the asshole card.
No healthy competition
#vsspoem prompt for July 25th, 2024: Difference
In a system built on monetary gain.
No charity in giving back
What's not theirs in the first place.
No freedom under laws
Tracking, tracing every move —
Controlling by leveraging
The differences between us.
There is we,
#vsspoem prompt for July 24th, 2024: Outside
And the other us —
The choices made
Outside this fantasy,
That place less real
And out of touch,
Where all this love
Can never be.
Truman ain't got nothin’ on us,
#vsspoem prompt for July 23rd, 2024: Skewed
Fourth wall crowds,
Like, comment, cheer, and interact —
A maze of fifth walls,
Skewed mirrors of eternity,
Has us squirreling for recognition
Like mindless rats out for cheese.
Gothic fever dreams,
#vsspoem prompt for July 21st, 2024: Gothic
Madness dressed in shades of darkness —
If not rest, what do the wicked get
Once the lights have dimmed?
Shatter,
#vsspoem prompt for July 20th, 2024: Scatter
I can't think of a word
That defines tragedy better.
Breakage with an outward motion —
Broken shards, no longer
Part of their whole,
Scattered and alone.
Freedom, so deceiving,
#vsspoem prompt for July 19th, 2024: Defiant
Ground races up to greet me.
Defiant 'till my last breath,
I yell
“We will never—”
It's the little things that shatter —
#vsspoem prompt for July 18th, 2024: Momentum
Tiny ripples moving oceans,
Drowning islands,
Breaking mountains,
Raising hell
When granted
Their momentum.
Conditioned to be
#vsspoem prompt for July 17th, 2024: Submissive
Hesitant, submissive —
Is the world we see
As it's meant to be,
Or was it willed to become
This factory of souls?
