Showing prompts for May 16th, 2023 until June 4th, 2023.
Rainbow hearts in grayscale palettes,
#vsspoem prompt for June 4th, 2023: Grayscale
Brightness levels set to nine.
Celebrating every flavor —
One month, no love left behind.
And still we say
#vsspoem prompt for June 3rd, 2023: Invalidate
The sun rises.
Still we say
The sun sets —
Invalidated, ancient concepts
Used so often,
They've burned into our heads.
End of the line, settling decline
#vsspoem prompt for June 2nd, 2023: Decline
With mere inches of sky
Left to sail until breach,
The unreachable up has become
The unrealized me.
Freefall repentance
#vsspoem prompt for June 1st, 2023: Freefall
Through clouds of missed chances,
Eyes fixed on the bottomless
Pits of release —
Towards where Death,
My savior eternal
Is waiting for me.
Diving from the ledge
#vsspoem prompt for May 31st, 2023: Ledge
Through fading outlines of redemption,
Into unfamiliar depths —
Sacrificing anything,
Everything.
Words like scars,
#vsspoem prompt for May 30th, 2023: Audible
Wounds carved
Into the bark of this world.
Fearful confessions,
Like a record
Audible by touch alone —
We were here once before,
Much like you.
We were lost once, too.
Embracing our outer demons,
#vsspoem prompt for May 29th, 2023: Embrace
We beat drums of war,
But let them win —
Self-betrayal in celebration,
Lest a silence amplifies
The ones within.
Strength by strength
#vsspoem prompt for May 28th, 2023: Defiance
To fear, to fear,
Until defiance's well runs dry.
Skittering through the dark
#vsspoem prompt for May 27th, 2023: Skitter
On hands and knees,
After marbles loose —
Not lost —
But to be honest,
It is not too big a difference.
Art knows beauty's order,
#vsspoem prompt for May 24th, 2023: Place
The all-in-its-place
To be a human weakness —
A thing to overcome,
Yet, rarely grasps
Its depths of truth.
The weight of days —
#vsspoem prompt for May 23rd, 2023: Weight
Good nor bad
Comes in measures
But too little,
Too much,
Too soon,
Too late.
Populist, masochist,
#vsspoem prompt for May 22nd, 2023: Educate
Violent macho alpha bullshit —
How is this still a thing?
Capitalist education systems.
It's sadly still a thing,
#vsspoem prompt for May 21st, 2023: Polarize
Polarizing public statements —
Be they sexist, be they racist.
Why so bitter, little ubermensch?
Culture? Nah, mate.
#vsspoem prompt for May 20th, 2023: Niche
Industry just zooms in
On the niche,
Extrapolates the artifacts
Set to a beat
To keep the world tuned,
Dancing to their feed —
It's simple economics.
Forget fiction —
#vsspoem prompt for May 19th, 2023: Discuss
Let's discuss truth
And its many masks.
Creation breeds
#vsspoem prompt for May 18th, 2023: Delta
In the delta of sanity,
Where reason
Bleeds back into an ocean
Of sense.
Triple-layered humblebrags,
#vsspoem prompt for May 17th, 2023: Humblebrag
The clown outshines the martyr —
Pain-shaded, painted smiles
Sheltering under paper screens,
Catering to all your expectations.
Winner, winner —
#vsspoem prompt for May 16th, 2023: Chicken
I chickened out
And got some dinner instead.
Winner, winner,
There's no happiness in fame.
Winner, winner —
It's a shame that it still needs to be said,
That there is no opinion greater
Than our own.
