Showing prompts for July 15th, 2023 until August 3rd, 2023.
Reality, a storm of
#vsspoem prompt for August 3rd, 2023: Dominance
Clashing single-cell perceptions,
Seeking dominance in alienation
Of all but the self —
Seeking heaven, raising hell.
Crossfire interplay,
vsspoem prompt for August 2nd, 2023: Crossfire
Victims of the war
We wage inside —
Taking both sides.
Siphoning a little extra,
#vsspoem prompt for August 1st, 2023: Siphon
Who would notice,
Who could care?
Once, twice,
Often, structurally —
Stream,
Trickle,
Drop.
Tweaked perception,
#vsspoem prompt for July 31st, 2023: Bias
Biased observation —
Before the light
Hits our eyes,
It's hindsight.
Left unspoken,
#vsspoem prompt for July 30th, 2023: Speaker
Left unheard,
I put to bed
Hurt unaddressed —
Librarian to the departed,
Speaker for the sad.
Wallowing in frustration,
#vsspoem prompt for July 29th, 2023: Wallow
Blanket pain, bottomless grief —
Any dark sensation beats
The too familiar numbness
Of not feeling.
Such futile
#vsspoem prompt for July 28th, 2023: Indulge
Self-indulgence —
If this is freedom,
I can't believe
We paid for this.
Not angry, not sad,
#vsspoem prompt for July 27th, 2023: Something
Not even disappointed —
Just very… something.
"I felt that," said the poet,
#vsspoem prompt for July 26th, 2023: Bland
A self-proclaimed
Low-hanging-word-smith,
Ending the poem —
A short piece of
Too bland, yet purple prose —
And I did not feel a thing.
From the crypt
#vsspoem prompt for July 24th, 2023: Irreconcilable
Not the heart —
Buried love,
Words spit in pain,
Again.
Irreconcilably apart.
Our voice,
#vsspoem prompt for July 24th, 2023: Commodity
Their commodity —
Freedom
Of purchase
Of speech.
Things are bad?
#vsspoem prompt for July 23rd, 2023: Asshole
What did you expect?
We most value attention,
Then idolize assholes
Who won't chase anything but.
Plot twist, right?
Yeah, not quite.
Scream to be heard,
#vsspoem prompt for July 22nd, 2023: Scream
Then pay to be you —
It's a blue, blue world
Slowly dying,
Yet, no one seems to mind.
Sanity collapse —
#vsspoem prompt for July 21st, 2023: Reflection
One sudden, brutal loss
Too many.
Numb,
My mental mirror breaks
Upon reflection.
Poison love,
#vsspoem prompt for July 20th, 2023: Poison
Too sweet, it's taste,
Swallowed whole —
I'd die for you,
A little every day.
Free time bandit,
#vsspoem prompt for July 19th, 2023: Magnet
Trouble magnet —
Come with me,
Let's have a ball.
Don't need praise,
#vsspoem prompt for July 18th, 2023: Praise
Don't need kindness,
Fuck plastic sincerity —
Be real with me.
Often chance
#vsspoem prompt July 17th, 2023: Sparse
Is deaf to want.
Not all who fail
Got to try —
Yet, we waste
The sparse opportunities
We got.
Connect, dissect,
#vsspoem prompt for July 16th, 2023: Digest
Digest, react —
Opinions weighed
Outweigh
Any and all impressions.
That's a fact.
The endless race
#vsspoem prompt for July 15th, 2023: Carrousel
That can't be won —
Our carrousel
Around the sun.
