Showing prompts for February 24th, 2023 until March 16th, 2023.
Looking back,
#vsspoem prompt for March 16th, 2023: Traverse
Time traversed —
Upside down,
And in reverse.
Cries for attention
#vsspoem prompt for March 15th, 2023: Unheard
Echo through the night,
With no one to answer
But the unheard one
Feeling left behind.
"Wait for me," says the selfish.
#vsspoem prompt for March 14th, 2023: Confident
"I'll wait for you," says the unconfident —
But no, not you, nor I, my love.
We know. We part, and smile.
I'll see you when we reach
The other side.
It can't be had,
#vsspoem prompt for March 13th, 2023: Matter
And yet, it matters —
Life is more
Than laws of men.
Fantasies drained away
#vsspoem prompt for March 12th, 2023: Quick
At the start of each new day —
A quick release to clear the mind
Of what cannot be had.
Cruelty taught in crowded hallways,
#vsspoem prompt for March 11th, 2023: Demon
Like a demon fitting room —
Life reshaped, remolded
In the moments between classes.
Naught but faded sympathy —
#vsspoem prompt for March 10th, 2023: Sympathy
No love, no hate,
And it's too late
To ever change
The way you look at me.
In the end
#vsspoem prompt for March 9th, 2023: Bullet
There's nothing to it —
Cut the knot,
Spit out the bullet.
Mute the world
And face the music
That you love.
For good, for bad,
#vsspoem prompt for March 8th, 2023: Move
You let me go —
It's fine. Move on,
I'll play that part.
I'll be the regret.
Perception, perspective —
#vsspoem prompt for March 5th, 2023: Perception
Perhaps it's the absent expected
Coloring our happiness.
Saying nothing
#vsspoem prompt for March 4th, 2023: Issue
Changes nothing.
Change requires do —
Drop the silent act,
And raise the issue.
Look beyond the opulence
#vsspoem prompt for March 3th, 2023: Opulence
And see the plain
Mundane beneath.
Wild, this garden mine,
#vsspoem prompt for March 2nd, 2023: Undergrowth
Shadowy and overgrown —
With angels in the treetops,
And demons in the undergrowth.
Oh, those days of tenderness,
#vsspoem prompt for March 1st, 2023: Reciprocate
Where she reciprocates my love
With mood swings
Of unprovoked hostility,
And I just go along.
Negativity unchained —
#vsspoem prompt for February 28th, 2023: Permeate
Feel it taint and permeate.
Doubts and insecurities
#vsspoem prompt for February 27th, 2023: Cloud
Cloud the obvious reality —
Interest is what it takes.
Join the brawl —
#vsspoem prompt for February 26th, 2023: Brawl
Egos and elbows.
This spotlight's
Too small for us all.
Lies for sake of brevity —
#vsspoem prompt for February 25th, 2023: Brevity
Same,
Me too,
And likewise.
They say
#vsspoem prompt for February 24th, 2023: Deep
If you can dream it,
You can do it,
But I dream of falling, momma.
I fall deeper every night.
