Showing prompts for November 18th, 2022 until December 7th, 2022.
If we leave, love,
#vsspoem prompt for December 7th, 2022: Mine
Where would we stay —
Your heart or mine?
Joined,
#vsspoem prompt for December 6th, 2022: Join
For a night?
For life?
Games of tag —
Heart and loins
Taking turns
Playing lover.
It's no longer you —
#vsspoem prompt for December 5th, 2022: Leak
If it ever truly were.
Passion leaks
From hearts too open.
Charity, a wrist-cuffed hand,
#vsspoem prompt for December 4th, 2022: Cuff
Forced to serve recycled chances
To a crowd of growing want,
Until the last can-do is spent —
Cut loose,
Bled of all but shallow
Thanks.
A teacher's hand,
#vsspoem prompt for December 3rd, 2022: Learn
A master's touch —
A lesson learned,
A childhood lost.
Heartache caverns,
#vsspoem prompt for December 2nd, 2022: Patch
Incomplete,
From rhythm
To a single beat —
No hole so big
It can't be patched
With tenderness.
Emotion, a dragnet,
#vsspoem prompt for December 1st, 2022: Mesh
Picking up new parts
Along the way —
Some leaks out
Through the meshes,
But overall, its one constant
Is change.
Fail better, not faster
#vsspoem prompt for November 29th, 2022: Streak
If you want to win.
Keep showing up,
Stay graceful,
Improve with every fuck up,
And you might outlast,
At long last,
The losing streak.
Go ahead,
#vsspoem prompt for November 28th, 2022: Elders
Disrespect your elders.
Trust defiance over those
Who lived and failed
Each of these tests before —
The ones who know precisely
Why, and how,
You're so spectacularly wrong.
Mirror cruel,
#vsspoem prompt for November 27th, 2022: Old
Your truths so cold —
Tell me, when did I
Become so old?
Social technology?
#vsspoem prompt for November 26th, 2022: Machine
It is but the tool we choose.
In the end,
It's not the hate machine —
It's how WE use it.
The mind's eye is blind
#vsspoem prompt for November 25th, 2022: Age
To the realities of aging —
Pain reminds us that
Time exists,
And isn't kind.
Instead of
#vsspoem prompt for November 24th, 2022: Legend
Dragging up what was,
Let's create some
Worthy past —
Let's be legendary
Together.
Moments out of sequence,
#vsspoem prompt for November 23rd, 2022: Sequence
Stumbling out of sync —
Down the rabbit hole
From consciousness,
To where memory lane begins.
Conspiracies bore me —
#vsspoem prompt for November 22nd, 2022: Conspiracy
Their plots, though unpredictable,
Are always cast the same.
The effectiveness of
#vsspoem prompt for November 21st, 2022: Akin
Repenting for a sin?
Akin to swallowing soap
Until you're clean.
As the air
#vsspoem prompt for November 20th, 2022: Current
—its current—
Changes,
Time slows down,
Hearts start racing.
Nothing sings the silence
Like the song of fear.
Flashes in a clear sky —
#vsspoem prompt for November 19th, 2022: Fragment
Like fragments of clarity
You never knew were missing.
All we know
#vsspoem prompt for November 18th, 2022: Raise
Is what we're told
By others,
Raised on tales of old —
This world, it turns on words
Of faith and fear.
