#rigmarole
sounds so negative
let's call it "The Weave"

#vss365

If I could tuck my thoughts,
neatly nestled in my chest,
my hands would tangle,
twisting in knots.
At the thought of loss,
so thick it pools,
weighted pain sinks the heart-
it pounds in waves,
binded by you.
Threads slip on by,
too tangled to untie.

#vss365 #rigmarole

Any #rigmarole
Understood is you look if
Closely easily.

It’s the suffering that happens in silence. Gnarls clustered in her chest. Secrets crammed in the worn creases of her calendar. Marking dates. Keeping time. Willing blood to stain her underwear. #Rigmarole cycle. Three days late. And a sinking omen curls. A scythe, piercing her stomach.

Liberty transfigured to rigmarole Sometime in recent days past. The naysayers merely shrugged and yawned, Shook their heads and said it wouldn’t last. But every day since, they’ve hoisted their flags, Grown bolder, much more loud and intense. They want to ban the words from our books To instead tout robotic nonsense. They want to rip our schools from the ground And replace them with tech and pretense. They want to cross out “the land of the free” And instead, erect a barbwire fence. -Katherine Widner

She closed the door and found him sitting outside. She froze.
"I thought we were all meeting at the quad in half an hour?"
He nodded, "I hopedwe could talk first."
"Oh, ok." She turned to the door, compulsions warring against embarrassment of him seeing the #rigmarole she had to go through.

Tired of the #rigmarole of modern life, we escaped to the Oregon Trail, to hunt bison, ford rivers in our covered wagon, live off the grid. No modern science to weigh us down, so we found new ways to die, methods as old as time — dysentery, cholera, diphtheria. In that way, we were pioneers. #vss365

People assume fart capture is a #rigmarole of complex equipment and simple embarrassment, but it's a process which can be done at home by anyone with a glass jar and a fast hand. Fart storage, however, is complicated; fart museum curators typically have a masters in flatulence management.

Tales of those the ancient times
A rigmarole of bygone crimes
History progressed and churned
Yet what if any has been learned
Mistakes of yore we now repeat
Lesser of men the loudest bleat
Begrudging brother and his child
The golden calf reborn and styled

Sad the fact
I'm on my back
Haven't written a word in days

No #rigmarole
I'm off a roll
Not sentence, verb, nor phrase

No deft wordplays
Written displays
The letters lost, not found

Searched high and low
I've lost my flow
Like a ship that's gone aground

#vss365

there was much
rigamarole
about the
hootenanny
many thought be
balderdash
but still caused a
hullabaloo

Writing seemed like such a #rigmarole
Felt a chore like task
Before I no longer was compelled
To just write more words
To aimlessly fill the page
With fuller and fleshier description
From teacher's challenging prescription
The pen, became a heavy tool
In English lessons whilst at school

#vss365

Much ado
crossing those boarders
In ancient times
people roamed free
no passports, visas
rules and regulations
none of this rigmarole
we are now put through

Why go through
the #rigmarole of #anger -
shatter the #idyll?

When you're single, are you on parole?
With no one but yourself to cajole?
Or is there a daily sense of lack,
An itching yearning along your back,
That makes it worth the rigmarole?

A drawing of a chicken running through a yard with tail feathers on fire, past a farmer.

No previous experience to #compare to when it came to being a farmer, but I was pretty sure this was another #fail.

Danged hen was running like her head was on fire and her ass... Uh-oh.

I'm still not sure this #rigmarole is worth it. The city wasn't this hard.

Lis listened wearily to the #rigmarole.
‘I’m supposed to believe none of you knew you violated the Supernatural Treaty by entering thru an unofficial portal?’
The assorted goblins, dwarves & Talking Animals nodded.
‘Pull the other leg’ said Jay. ‘It’s got bells on.’

this inkless #rigmarole
between dreams and heaven
heartbeats go astray
verses traverse oceans
and land upon your page
reading over same lines
to feel you close again
still stars stay silent
for words we never say
if only things were simple
if only love remained.

She looks at all the invitations and weeps. "I can't go through this rigmarole!"
"Then we'll elope," he says, swallowing his disappointment.

"...And then I filed all seventeen forms and finally got a refund!"

"Wow. That was quite the Rick-me-Roll."

"You mean #rigmarole?"

"No, I mean you decided, 'Never gonna give it up, never gonna let me down' and you won!"

"..."

"I know you kinda love it. Rick Roll resistance is futile."

#vss365

That loose lid on your hypocrisy
currently leaking reality
now spilling all over
your once pristine narrative

Damage control for this mess
is going to be quite
a prohibitive expense

Next time embrace clarity

Take a vow of responsibility

Assume self ownership
of the whole #rigmarole

It’s always the same #rigmarole: set up the seance, invite in the guests.

My assistant did well with the ghostly screeching yesterday. Even I was scared at times!

But she came in this morning and apologised for missing yesterday’s seance due to illness. Strange…

#vss365

no rigmarole in my wish
just that my words of love
will be carried upon
this evening's zephyr
past the celestial frontier
where the wisdom of stars
will write the story of us
across kismet skies
for you to gaze upon tonight
opening up
your beautiful heart
making me
your eternity

You say
‘Rigmarole’

She says
‘Adventure’
