Elation,
#vsspoem prompt for April 8th, 2024: Elation
The precipice
Conquered —
Now comes the drop.
Should have,
#vsspoem prompt for April 7th, 2024: Unite
Could have,
Might have beens —
Burning bridges,
Uniting
Former friends and enemies.
Truth seeker,
#vsspoem prompt for April 6th, 2024: Bluster
Lore keeper,
Crafter of lies —
Spinning tales,
Muting bluster,
Opening eyes.
There's we who do,
#vsspoem prompt for April 5th, 2024: Tyranny
And the tyranny
Of those who can't —
Who make the rules.
Not the world,
#vsspoem prompt for April 4th, 2024: Means
Just your actions.
If not your thoughts,
At least your words.
If it's yours,
By all means —
Control it.
If not,
Shut your trap,
And move along.
Cumulate, amalgamate
#vsspoem prompt for April 3rd, 2024: Reject

Burn the world,
One petty desire at a time.
Outside walls,
#vsspoem prompt for April 2nd, 2024: Plaster
Plastered, painted,
Mirroring the outside world —
Sheltered, confined,
Stowed away.
In absence,
Through the cracks
We watch the last
Of our humanity
Fall apart.
Elbowing to the top.
#vsspoem prompt for April 1st, 2024: Elbow
First to bleed,
Last to laugh —
Consumed by greed
The joke’s on us.
By design
It cannot ever
Be enough.
Seven deadly states of mind
#vsspoem prompt for March 31st, 2024: Spiderweb
Spiderwebbing through
Our mental self —
Like a cancer infecting
Every fragile thought it finds.
Long forgotten what's been lost,
#vsspoem prompt for March 30th, 2024: Dull
Money, the great equalizer —
Greed and entitlement
Dulling all costs.
Broken threads,
#vsspoem prompt for March 29th, 2024: Misplace
Disconnected,
Misplaced in the loom —
This may be
Where we landed,
It is not where we belong.
Pixelized, fill in the blanks —
#vsspoem prompt for March 28, 2024: Pixel
Dots, designed to be connected,
Guiding thoughts, guiding hands.
Death, a welcome friend —
#vsspoem prompt for March 27th, 2024: Fright
It is eternity that frightens me.
Gray hair, pale eyes,
#vsspoem prompt for March 26th, 2024: Pale
Like paintings on a wall.
Struggles?
Not their problem —
Easily entertained
And happily ignored.
All are one,
#vsspoem prompt for March 25th, 2024: Thirst
All are blood —
Given time,
All of life
Drains into
The thirsty ground.
Votes are for the living —
#vsspoem prompt for March 24th, 2024: Vote
The dead but speak
Through memories.
Bloodied knives in open backs.
#vsspoem prompt for March 23rd, 2024: Rivalry
Allies under common threat
Fatally mistook for friends —
Alliances returned to rivalry,
Before the smoke has cleared
Upon their sunset.
Drowning at the end
#vsspoem prompt for March 22nd, 2024: Spell
Of a dry spell —
Blessed with rain
I have forgotten
How to swim.
You don't own me,
#vsspoem prompt for March 21st, 2024: Act
But get to act like you do.
Possession’s nine-tenth of the law.
You believe in your rights,
And I'll act along —
Working like a man possessed
To survive.
Blinded we swing
#vsspoem prompt for March 20th, 2024: Swing
Time's scythe and truth's hammer
Through trust and other fragile things —
Desperately holding on
To all the ends we've severed.
