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.
One size does not fit all,
#vsspoem prompt for July 14th, 2023: Turmoil
Break all molds —
Embrace chaos,
Trust the turmoil.
A pain, so deep,
#vsspoem prompt for July 13th, 2023: Lace
So laced in loss,
It makes a man
Forget his heart
And all it holds —
Healing moments
Out of reach,
Locked away within.
It's always crowded
#vsspoem prompt for July 12th, 2023: Crowded
At the center
Of attention.
Emotional awareness,
#vsspoem prompt for July 11th, 2023: Intelligence
And a sense of mortality —
So much for intelligent design.
Born and raised,
#vsspoem prompt for July 10th, 2023: Entropy
Schooled and trained,
Well-behaved
Children of society —
Colorless, a la carte,
Pre-designed with a
Chronic lack of entropy.
