I don’t blame circumstance for being #jaded somewhere along the way something shifted, no rhyme or reason. I woke one day and the world was a dull grey. Laughter died on my lips not quite able to make my eyes and tiredness settled within my soul. Mirror,mirror who am I where did I get lost. Stock image of an old mirror hung in a decrepit room sun shining from outdoors yet the room remains gray. My story for today’s prompt. #vss365 #words #BlueSky #WritingCommunity #poet #Artist #Photography #Photo #EastCoastKin #story #Australia

I don’t blame circumstance for being #jaded somewhere along the way something shifted,no rhyme or reason.
I woke one day and the world was a dull grey.
Laughter died on my lips not quite able to make my eyes and tiredness settled within my soul.
Mirror,mirror who am I
where did I get lost.

This photo shows some street art in Burnham on Sea with a girl leaping and a pigeon next to her. The writing reads: In life you may not always soar like an eagle but you can always strut like a pigeon.

Serious sounds on the porch
Drew him out of his dreams
And he found a cat near
A garden chair and on
The spot he called her #Jade
Because her eyes shone like
Rocks dug out with a spade

Yes, that's definitely a better option.

Henry VII died this day 21st April 1509. His son, Henry VIII ascends the throne.

Shredded pieces of bread decorate a plate. I type out my thoughts, and #undersea cables transport my negative product review to another continent, where it hopefully inspires an inventor to create the perfect butter knife. Meanwhile, I’ll have to eat dry hunks of wheat. Oh the humanity.

New toy alert! It's a Sharp MZ-2500 from 1985, otherwise known as the 'Super MZ', the last of the extensive Z80 based MZ range. Up to 256K RAM and 128K VRAM, it has a 6MHz Z80B and can do 16 colours at 640x400 (if you have all the VRAM). It also looks wonderfully like a top end HiFi separate ... 1/2

The waves crash
#seafoam hisses
as it hits the shore
it encroaches
with the tide
spreads farther
until it retreats
back to do it
all again

Three Pivotal Times the Strait of Hormuz Changed Hands A vital geographic feature that controls access to a world

The Strait of Hormuz has been a flashpoint on more than occasion. In my piece, I look at what factors led to these historic confrontations and their consequences. All of us can definitely learn some lessons from the past. #history #iran #historian

A piece of #seafoam
Sits on a stone tome
Carved into a cliff

Beware the siren
Call of your echo,
It warns all sailors

The words I Miss You scrawled on a wall

Surprisingly earnest graffiti

Carola van Dyke is a Dutch fibre artist residing on the south coast of the United Kingdom.

“The television is showing me the second circle of hell again!”

I scream down the hallway, “Just #hammer it for a while!”

“Okay…now I'm seeing the first circle of hell.”

I waltz into the living room, where I’m confronted with a close-up of Socrates. “Network television sure has changed.”

Nite friends. Lots of stormy stuff going on so stay alert & safe. Remember the big, bad wolf said he'd huff & puff & blow the house down but the 3 little pigs were prepared & he couldn't blow down the brick house? Be like the piggies. Prepare. Family sends hugs 💤💙💤

“Welcome to The #Loop,” the person manning the check in desk said.

“The Loop? That’s such a weird name for a hotel,” she replied.

24 hours later she found herself repeating the previous day.

“Still think it’s a weird name for a hotel?” the guy at the front desk asked. #vss365

I miss when Pokemon games looked like this.

Pixel graphics always suited Pokemon really well, I think.

Sitting on cushion that
Looks like a fresh froot #loop
So I can peer over
The dash of a giant’s
Car to buy a green bean

If I tried to write a #letter

you've given me
the world would run

How the Term ‘Surfing the Internet’ Emerged Jean Armour Polly helped change the way we view the internet forever

If you ever wondered why people say they "surf" the internet, then you're not alone. A while back, I was wondering the exact same thing, so I did some research. What I found was quite an interesting story that started in one American library. #internet #history #retro

After thirty years, a woman finally receives a bundle of unanswered #letters. Wrinkled paper tells the story of a love that never received enough light to blossom. With shaking hands, she places the paper in a chest and shuts its lid, relinquishing it to eternal darkness.

Sunset & view of Catalina mountains in Tucson, AZ.

Tucson, last night’s sunset.

"Okay, hear me out. Yes, the planet has #water, but it's mildly hallucinogenic."
"How mildly?"
"Um. Mild enough to tolerate. We've been working on new technologies to support human life there. Let me start by showing you the tie dyed spacesuits we've created."

Gramercy Park & the Chrysler Building NYC

A shooting star
#Waters a dream
One last time as
A soul closes
One door and steps
On some roses
