@cmshahanahanif.bsky.social Please tell #lackluster #NYPD to rein in #parking #impunity on President Street and 8th Avenue so #pedestrians can cross the street in the crosswalk #brooklyn #parkslope

Uhhh.. getting shit done up in here!

#screenwriting #film #lackluster

There's an underlying joke in the screenplay I'm writing. Any women that show up are a million times smarter than the three main characters.

That's totally accurate to the real world right?

#DiabloIV is getting to be #Uninspired, #repetitive and #lackluster. but then #DiabloIII had a bit of that to it as well .

Seriously, give me so me story. Some story where I'm not #demon killing. Folks have lives outside of that. Did you #developers ever think of #lives. I'm level 33 and I'm done.

As always, thanks for your continued #support. It really keeps our family going.

The veranda,
a ship’s deck,
anchored in sunlight,
drifting through time.
The air hums
like distant waves,
a glass of red wine
the compass,
the book, a chart,
guiding each moment
as it drifts by.
Even the lackluster sky
stays quiet,
content to watch.

#vsspoem #prompt #lackluster #poetrycommunity

Genuinely dull, yet shining.
I do not display what I am not.
Lackluster, yet original.
Blissful in simply being.

The cracked bottle
turns nature on it's head
with all its trials and tribulations
no message intended
so lacklustre and naked
castaway, a long lost memory
a discarded possession
what did it hold
scented perfume
squeezed from a sacred bloom?

#vsspoem #Lackluster

We #sever ourselves from the #lackluster, since we tipplers demand more of life. There's never a time when the lazy man triumphs, nor the pessimist, who in the end values nothing in his half-empty life. The music is all around us. Can't you taste it? It nuzzles your ear.

Self-Employed

#Lackluster service
No #newsletter or reviews
Money’s no issue
Recalcitrant, lethargic
I’m my own worst housekeeper

The brass candlesticks
needed lemon juice, baking soda
And elbow-grease.
Neglect results:
A dingy, lackluster
appearance.

Once cleaned, firelight
reflected
beautifully.

Lackluster content.
Many newsletter readers
weren’t patient with the
new format. Subscriptions stalled.
Severed accounts. Not worth cost.

A ok cubicle metaphor The purgatory of mediocrity Is an industrial carpeted hallway. Motivational pictures of the sky " That's probably good enough" Because there are no windows. The vibrant colors of my instincts, Muted enough to become uniform. The fiery crimsons are now Primary red minus one. The glacial crystal cobalt azure Are simply light blue. The devolving of the new and exciting, To the stable and monthly newsletter. This is not a punishment delivered By some vengeful God for the hubris Of dreaming. It is a choice, self inflicted; A resignation of passion to "Pretty good, thanks".

It's a twofer! But it's only just ok 😐 (😀)

Ashes of Arrival
—when light forgets how to burn

There was a time
I mistook movement for meaning,
chased suns already spent,
wrote verses to revive
a #lackluster sky.
But some stars,
no matter how you beckon,
were born only
to glimmer,
then go.

#poetrycommunity #poetry #prompt #AmWriting

Baptized
In the #lackluster waters
Of inequity
Tepid as thoughtless tears
I rose
Buoyed through
Brackish muck
Never really gave a fuck
No matter what
Tried my luck
Even when
They kept me down
Many times
I wish I'd drown
But I'm still here
A King
A Fool
I earned my crown
