Hey Stefan, I’m good. Hope all is well with?!

We dance with #wolves
In the eye of the storm
When we’re alone

Shattering fragments
We rebuild
Ourselves
Superheroes
Our capes the world holds onto
Rotating

We all need the same air
Everyday heroes
If we believe in ourselves

A mostly monochromatic gray, black, and white illustration of the god Odin and two wolves (one white and one gray) and a raven. Odin has flowing hair and a flowing beard, an eyepatch, and a single blue eye.

It's April 22, 2026, and today's mythology-inspired #vss365 #prompt: #wolves! As in the wolves of Odin, Geri and Freki.

The Allfather of Norse mythology, Odin is a complex and extremely cool god after whom Wednesday (Odin's day) is named!

Hehe. Glad you’ve enjoyed! Thanks, Jason.

The island had #quite the #decline, the further you went towards its centre.
That’s where we found the thumb high little people. Taking one look at Ezekiel, they thought him a God!
I sniggered. He was far from that!

Cold downpour batters
against the glass window,
forgotten memory leaks
through the cracks,
phantom puddles ripple
stirring the nostalgia,
tired spirits watch wistfully,
undersea currents draw
tides of melancholy.

🎵under the sea, under the sea🎵,
where all life started, both you and me.
#nostalgic for the good old days
#undersea under the waves
free to move, free to be
no pollution from human exertion
only fear, predatory Helicoprion
no matter when we live
when someone eats, we run

#Emoetry prompt for 4/21 is #Perplexed

#writingcommunity #poetry #blueskypoets

The normally placid priest
became incensed,
when he saw that someone
had stolen the sacred scent,
only to realize
he’d loaned out
the censer for Lent.

#Perplexed

when first we kissed
I hoped for sunlight
in a vase of flowers

but instead found
eyes of newsprint
and stock forecasts

inside,
a small, whispered complaint
choked at the chill
of breath turned to frost

and my father's voice
reminded me
not of listening
but doing what's right

#emoetry

When I’m
#nostalgic
thinking
of good
memories
that once
were I wish
I could bend
time and pull
those good
memories
into the
present unfortunately
I can’t but there’s a
remedy make more
good memories

Utterly perplexed
By nostalgic insistence,
Digging up the past.

I'm quite perplexed at
The sight of undersea whales
Fraught with disaster
Flying through the skies above—
Can't forget the day I saw ...

what freedom meant that day.

This world is utterly #perplexed
Some people should be shoved into an observation chamber
The don’t seem to understand
Their decisions #ripples down and affect everyone poorly,

They think themself #stylish. Above the rabble below. Worth more than the common person

Perplexed but absorbed
Her nails crept down my forearm
Jade Framed French Tips
She’d traced, so?; biting her lip
Staring, hungrily

SCHOOL YARD FOR GHOSTS We're turning the world into a school yard for ghosts. With noses held high, we play with toy replicas of ourselves and think we owe each other nothing as the sky closes in and we beg for shelter. When our wounds start to blend into our lifestyles, we become perplexed at the empty spaces to where our circles once extended. We expect perfection of everyone we meet while pardoning ourselves of war crimes. The silence we gift our loved ones is tougher than the jade we ignore when salt is closer and easier to pour into our wounds as we convince ourselves we're the victims.

I think one of the reasons we've become so depressed and lonely is that social media has given us inflated self-importance while diluting what true friendship should be.

untangled inside,
perplexed never finds a home,
and I’m glad it doesn’t

I forget what I was thinking

climbed vines tine time
explanations had we all grown up in Love
as dictionaries with pronunciation gazetteers
languid thunder bells
quiet, strange factory steeps, a blithe tea
Spring sky nights weep
one by one, two by two each
a perplexing algorithm
an odd paired sock, a fitted woo #emoetry

He is #perplexed
why I feel
the way I do
because in his mind
nothing is wrong
He lives in a world
all his own
and I live in one
that is mine

I remember blueberries,
deception of sweetness,
reminder of catalog
life never lived;

I forget where L.L. Bean
Spring season went,
yet have indistinct
recollection of poses;

perplexed,
the stylish and
aromatic; neither
are home

What's your #reason for treason?
#perplexed by your #deal
you lie and you cheat
you rape and you steal
no need to #frame you
you've run out of luck
here's your #daily #reminder
you're guilty as fuck

The #jade orb glistens in its stone socket. Vera says to leave it and be happy with the diamonds littering the floor. I shrug off her hand. I must have it. She pleads again saying it's not right. I ram my blade between gem and stone and hear a crack. Vera screams...but how can it be an egg?! #vss365

#vss365 #Jade

You roll your face with jade
to make your skin so tight
Then you huff & puff
Growl & gruff
to show your strength & might
One day your youth will dwindle
One day your skin will sag
When that day cometh
you'll be nothin' but a lonely old hag

Today I am jaded by cuteness kawai is making me slightly seasick afloat in a boat of digital saccharine everything's too sweet too much too oversimplified and not in the least organic give me the real the vital the down-in-the-dirt is-ness of life the slightly imperfect robin with its wholly imperfect worm the tulip arranged by nature's whim not algorithm stop lying to me everybody it's spring let's touch grass not Astroturf™ Image composite: Robins, real and imagined, by Grok and DG, and an unruly red tulip by Tavaron da Quirm.

#vss365 #jade

Wednesdays I’m jaded,
half in,
half out,
crawling to
two days
of freedom;

Sunny all week,
nature has
weapons against
cheerfulness in
Seattle, it’s rain Saturday;

sighing,
I pretend idealistic
cynicism is an
answer to a glass half
empty

Pt464 She was going to figure out exactly what Marvin’s #deal was. How did that little #jade green smart aleck make a SUN that the cave appeared to orbit? How did he make it rain? Did he manufacture the wind also? Today, she wasn’t going along with the daily routine he constructed for her. She wasn’t hungry anyway. What was the point of killing & butchering the same calf every freaking day? No, Siree. She was starting her investigation, & Marvin couldn’t stop her. #vss365 #WIPSnips
