In the first grade, I asked Danny
Pickle if he was sweet or dill. He didn’t understand my wit. He tattled to his parents, and I was asked to write an apology letter. The apology read as follows, I am sorry for asking you a question. 😏

#RandomChildhoodMemories

I have always thought these questions but never vocalized😂

Oh the sleight of word
The trickery the deception
Tossed salad served
With an indurate heart
and a callous hand
The oppressive taste
Not bitter but bland
#vss365 #trickery #poetry

Thank you💙♥️

The investiture of the sun
In robes of purple and red
The day is done
And the hero has
Gone to bed

seafoam tickles my toes
the stock market isn't God
sitting here I know

dime on a stone
a brief memory gone
lost in the seafoam

Thor in a red furred cloak with long red hair and lightning in the background.

It’s April 16, 2026, and today’s mythology-inspired #vss365 #prompt is #hammer! As in hammer of the gods.

The prompt feels appropriate for today, because it's Thursday; a day of the week named after the Norse god Thor!

During the storm
the waves crash
like a hammer on the shore
and those things with little wings
can fly no more
cold and wet to the core

After the storm
in a moment of calm
the displaced driftwood cries
what are we here for
#vss365 #hammer #poetry

Thank for all the wonderful prompts Rachel!!

💙♥️🙏

The last word
leaves another mute
Leaves progression meek
A wall against humanity
A future left incomplete
That's what it means
when the last man speaks
#vss365 #word #poetry

Once again
we've looped around the moon
out into the darkness
And once again
returned to our cocoon
To try again
with better wings
When evolution and desire
coalesce
#vss365 #loop #poetry

As you already know, @brooksiesbooks.bsky.social will be your #vss365 host from April 16-30. Before I wrap up my stint, I must warn her: You guys write FAST. I've hardly pressed "Post" on the prompts, and the stories and poems come flooding in! You're all kind! Hosting is totally addictive!

In case you're sick of cognates, healing's on the way! 😄 The lovely @brooksiesbooks.bsky.social is going to be your #vss365 host from 16 - 30 April. We've heard whispers of mythology and folklore that'll inspire you and spark your imaginations. Let's follow her down her hosting path! 😊

-
the lushness
of your scent -
i taste your proximity

an unseen trail
of apricot
and almond

i'm reminded
of oleander under
a shadowed tower

the sea breeze
binds its ache to me,
but the words delay

only letters remain -
malformed and failing
to describe love

#vss365 #poetry

In English, it's a retro way of corresponding. In English and Afrikaans, it's a cognate word for the characters, symbols or script in which we read and write. There are about 150 to 300 such systems globally, some no longer used. The #vss365 #prompt for April 13, 2026 is #letters

There were letters on the walls
Long before the differentiations
Concern for the future man
Lost on his way
I was here but now I'm gone
I left this here that you might carry on
#vss365 #letters #poetry

Spring rain:
In hard bursts
it falls

The water puddles
pitted, covering
the flaws

and then slower
a trickle, a tickle
the surface quivers

Then smooth
as the heavens
recoil
#vss365 #water #poetry

When you want to play but you're still too tired #dogs #pets #borderaussie #tilley #photography

A slumbering state
where new colours of paint
trickle in changing the hue
by one shade or two
We try to sink back into sleep
to alter the tinge and the tint
but seldom we do
#vss365 #sink #poetry

Some of us who can't, love to do it anyway. Loudly, much to the dismay of those within earshot. But alas, since I'm utterly tone deaf, I would like to have this talent in my next life. It's a cognate word in English and Afrikaans. The #vss365 #prompt for April 10, 2026 is #sing

Even by the tiniest streams
The birds are singing
There is a silence
Before the wind and rain
But they always return
Beaks open again
#vss365 #sing #poetry

Good night #tilley #borderaussie #pets #dogs #photography

#Vss365 #poem

Captured in the still of night
A grain of my soul still hangs
Where it gasped to grasp
That spirit of yours
A piece of you
Flown away
Out of
Reach

Somersaults
& acrobatic
Twists & turns
My heart holds on
In the dark precariously
#Blind & stupid love, be maybe
