#rigamarole #rigmarole

I used the #interregnum like a gap year: forgot those #obstreperous little blighters with their #myopic parents and with their #rigamarole demands, shed the #flocculent despair and just relaxed as a bird would #chime in now and then, staring at the #cerulean sky
#vss365 WEEK

And they all lived happily ever after.

So it’s a good thing my #flocculent brain warned me that it would be #myopic to proceed with such a #rigamarole. No one would be able to #fathom the weird #involutions that could allow someone to be so #obstreperous.

weir in trouble
plugged with flocculent tufts
of obstreperous rigmarole
dam alarm chimes unheard
no more flux to give

#weir #rigamarole #flocculent #chime #obstreperous

what is this #rigamarole?

it's called #dissent

just because you got the #axe?

and 1000s more

it's a #numinous achievement

I'm aghast at the destruction

just cut a #plethora of fat

fat doesn't stream rivers of blood

Teresa did her best to ignore the Duchess' #rigamarole, but the evening's fight, an empty stomach and her third glass of wine, the noble's offer of a new job and being able to see her sister, in exhange of winning the upcoming battle royale, seemed almost merciful. #vss365

The crowd seen from above had a #flocculent appearance as they bounced to the beat of the band, swirling like fat, spring snowflakes in a strong wind. Zooming in, you could see the teens doing the latest dance they called the #Rigamarole, or riggy for short. #vss365

"Who dares interrupt me, The High King!"
"Pardo-"
"Heir to the Great Crown!"
"If I could-"
"Wielder of the Divine Scepter, Conqueror of-"
"YOUR MAJESTY! I must insist we forego this #rigamarole!"
"What insolence!"
"My insolence will be of no concern unless we escape the enemy soldiers now!"

I glared at the Real, Actual Devil and told her, "I don't want any part of this #rigamarole, Grimm. You can't make me do this."

She huffed and inspected her nails, one red curl rolling askew. "You deserve a parade, Ash. You are officiating."

"I deserve it?!"

"Yes. You've been VERY bad."

#vss365

The #rigamarole is settling
Not behind: dust
I’m careful not to kick it up.
I’m stepping over, like taking the sidewalk at the end of winter
Come across a slushy spot
Stop and assess
Take your time deciding if you should
Scale the hard ice side
or move to the road.

Sunday starts it a new
Where we go and die
On monday. Just to lie
Beds made, unmade
Suns fall
Moons rise
Is the daily toil worthwhile
Being spun in an involuntary #rigamarole
It is
Look beyond
Not a god
Forget deities
Look around you
Love fills your air
You are their air

Lose yourself in D silliness of life,what goes🔼goes🔽,
what goes🔽goes🔼. D #Rigamarole won't last long,u may not even feel pain if D universe decides it has had enough of human stupidity&wipes D slate clean.There
may not even be a

laugh at him instead

So then I tell 'em, "Hey son, you can't park your car there." heh-heh... say, what do you make of that far-off tree over yonder... what... speak up, son... I don't hear as well as I used to, can't see too well neither... A girl you say... well that makes this a little awkward... #rigamarole #vss365

Projects, bills, emails -
all #rigamarole. I crave
more time in the sun.

Digitally edited photo of the user, made a decade ago. Three images in the grueling process of starting the day. From rest, to edge of bed contemplation, to a rolling-on of the socks while sat the floor. Colors are blocky and the mood = moody. Read: The difficult life cycle of a caterpillar, that suspects deep within them, a butterfly.

Take me through
the #rigamarole:

The answers, lengthy
The rabbits, unknown.

Lead me through
Depths, aplenty.
Nightmares vast,
Pleasureful pennies.

Sail me into
A bubbling fountain,
A bounding wish:
Gold in the mountain.

The #rigamarole, the hokey pokey,
at the song and dance dog and pony show—
don’t get it twisted,
tho.
This ain’t no mumbo jumbo.

Democracy, that inconvenient #Rigamarole
Beats Autocracy's efficiency
Where only defiant heads do roll
With a cold malignant urgency

#writing #vss365 #writingCommunity #poetry

Ah, the #rigamarole of it all. Endless forms, hoops to jump through, rules that exist for their own sake... It starts as structure—until it hardens into something else entirely.

How many humans do you know who prefer to play as machines? 🤖

cutest Sylveon librarian

Vampire bro and I realized we had gaps in our knowledge, we knew the toasts that werewolves made, but not why. It made us think about going to the library. It was a big #rigamarole, but lucky for us the cutest Sylveon librarian showed us around. Had me thinking about what's behind his cover. #vss

From the #vss365 jukebox for #rigamarole, this is Complicated by Mac Miller from his 2020 album Circles. This album was in process when Mac died in 2018 and was completed posthumously by Jon Brion.

Boat tussled
with raging ocean
message in a bottle
defies angry waves
#rigamarole on deck
to secure
the broken casket
with wine cases
washed ashore
many sailors
lay adrift in
cold waters
forcing strokes
to reach the bay

Though I swept over the plains with the Golden Horde and trampled whole civilizations under the hooves of my horses, I was undone by the purgatorial #rigamarole of imperial bean-counting and formal decree. I had the accountants and scribes executed and gleefully watched triumph unravel. #vss365

Somewhere between the Preglan V and Bomont IV, there's a series of knocks at a porthole window.
Kurt Kerf2: What sort of #rigamarole is this?
KNOCK KNOCK
K2, rushes to window: We're in deep space, who the fuck's out there?
HA HA HA! GOTCHA!
K2: Really need to fix the ship's AI...

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

The #rigamarole involved in the Imperial justice system goes beyond that. When an inmate awaiting trial dies of starvation before they can be executed because the book of laws accumulates a hundred new volumes a day.ypube gone beyond rigamarole into absurd travesty territory. God help us. #vss365

The Tyrant insisted he wanted to cut down the administration's #rigamarole. Instead, he just cut through everything.

They wrote off his attempts at #alchemy as #rigamarole; didn’t think it (or he) could aid their #dissent.
As he sat in front of a #plethora of gold, he knew they’d no longer deny him a seat at th—
“Hey,” he said, “cut the #diagetic narration, it’s annoying.
