pencil drawing of the Vagary, a female, spider-like demon from DOOM 3. she resembles a humanoid torso on a spider-like body, with six dark eyes. she is wearing torn cloth on her front legs, and other torn clothes are draped on her forearms. she seems upset.

she just wanted to look cute, but the Vagary is upset that none of her leggings fit and they all tear on her chitinous legs :(

I DO NOT LIKE IT
when
keeping the integrity
of one aspect of my self/life
requires
vagary in another aspect

THIS IS NOT WHO I AM
but
in such
hated forced surrenders
I start to sense
the integrity
of who I am becoming

His life was boring. Everyday he woke up at the same time, ate the same breakfast, took his seat at the same cubicle at work, and ate the same dinner at home. He longed for the #vagaries of life he read so much about. #vss365 #vagary

“Ah! To face the multitudinous trials of outrageous slings and arrows of #vagary misfortunes upon such a tired but wizened brow.”

Uncle Luke sure knew how to remix some Shakespeare.

Listening to Wunderhorse at Glastonbury
Being educated in each song by my son
Returns me to the #vagary of teenage memories
And what bands I introduced to my music loving Dad

I see him in a hospital ward with headphones
Belting out Money For Nothing
As if we were just singing for himself

Busyness of life
That obscures the vagaries
No lucidity

Good morning, writers & poets, how do you like your eggs? Who remembers the days when the machines would scream? Or am I just that old?

endless dome by night
a vast #starscape of questions
charms stargazers
the #vagary of answers
becomes insignificant

#vss365 #tanka #blueskypoets #poetry

the follies of man,
the vagaries of change,
the rage of the world.
What are we meant
to expect other than this?
What outcome
would you have foreseen
if not this one?
I pray for better
and I hope
for nothing worse.

I thought
I made a mistake
But vagarity
Comes from #vagary
Even when I think
I was wrong,
I was wrong
About being wrong

Alarm clock silenced
Chaos bites its own tongue
And the day begins
Without #vagary;
Starscape dust
Swallowed deep in the folds
Of an ocher throat
Wet with a muted hiccup
That would have ruptured
Those first, early morning sighs
And the soft unfurling
Of innocent expectation
#vss365

Why wouldn't she?
Why should she?

Because we always
cook the chicken in
the small pot
for God knows why?

Because he is everything
a girl could want?

Be damned the #vagary of marriage?

Be damned the loss sense of self?

Technology killed the brontosaurus.

There is no reason left.

Vagaries of the mind
Give me pause
Do I have an army of selves
Or is it a Humpty Dumpty situation

*continuity equation*

like a #vagary of morning light
she comes to me—
part illusion,
part sorrow.

my eyes trained on the horizon,
ear pressed to the sheets,
listening
for the pulse,
some echo of her
still breathing
in the folds.

I'm trapped
in the vagary
of my mind,
where thoughts
of you drift like
unfinished prayers.
Your silence
builds cities
I cannot live in,
each window
lit with a hope
you never gave.
I carry the echo
of something
never spoken,
a love shaped
by absence,
not return.

Her mercurial spin
like a dancer on pointe
shoved a parcel of air
gently slapping his face
as she retreated
through the threshold.
The crushing #vagary of her actions
stopped his heart for just
an instant.
His brain took longer to realize
that he would never hold her again. #vss

pigmy sloth up tree
outswims the racing seahorse
welcome vagary

The next one is a vagary-- an unseen dream-- a scheme to believe this is all there is. However, endlessly, never does-- the sowing must be reaped-- an infinity of harvest.

Here is today's poem called "Detassle"

#poetry #poem #vss365 #prompt #poetsofbluesky #writing #vagary

The Vagaries of Interdimensional Travel - Wide-Eyed Trevor, pt 7 As we lay side by side On a starlit hillside Like sophomore lovers In an eighties rom-com Rather than two overweight mates Lost on an unknown world. Trevor said: ‘I need to find my Gran. I know she’s out here somewhere If anyone can help me, she can. I, and by that I mean you, too - We are subject to the whims The vagaries of the Enigmatic Even though I built it, I’m not sure How the damned thing works We might not always land Exactly where we want But we’ll always end up Where we’re needed.’ ‘Hang on,’ I said. ‘Isn’t this the plot Of Quantum Leap?’ ‘The Enigmatic has a peculiar Sense of humour. ‘ Trevor said.

A Poem a Day, Day 176: The Vagaries of Interdimensional Travel - Wide-Eyed Trevor.

Born and swaddled
in the textile of a mama’s love.
When he toddled,
he stayed tethered to her hem.

She left only a closet
of vintage couture,
and a Singer.

A #vagary,
born of grief and circumstance,
pressed shears into his palm.

With thread and memory,
he reimagined
his life's pattern.

As a child, I never understood adults. They were random, inconsistent, and unstable creatures. Their behaviors folded and molded to the moment. Their actions a vagary too often working against their own desires.

But now I am grown and old; I understand them even less.

The array of choices was staggering. Her mind raced and panic set in as the line behind her grew. Her #vagary let loose in an unrestrained shuffle, almost a dance, as she randomly pointed 11 times. After a brief pause that elicited groans from people in line, she selected the 12th doughnut.

Mother Nature’s stupidest #vagary was to give humans toes! So impractical!

We’re naturally devolving the pinky toes! We’ll all have hooves eventually.

She rattled the jar containing the severed digits.

Clop clop clop clop could be heard down the hall of the Chiron Institute.

The one #vagary of travel that always takes me by surprise is that moment when you forget you're not at home. You forget that home even exists and all you know is where you are and what's on the horizon. We reached that moment at the Spanish border, in the middle of a spaghetti western.

Knowledge is power
built on truth and science,
the machinations of the learned,
the bold, the curious.
Fight the vulgar #vagary
of those besotted with power
unearned, warped by
grift built on fear woven by lies.

The #vagary of the whole debacle was how it started. It ended with a car in the Hudson’s pool and their teenage son buck naked in a tree with any number of nubile young people fleeing the scene. No one, though, would say more than that. #vss365 #flashfiction #skywriting
