I miss
the cherry #blossom
petals on the wind
a shower of red
pink and white
as the spring breeze
passes through
and promises
warmth.
#vssdaily #poetry #writing #writingcommunity
Surrounded by cherry #trees in #blossom, even more beautiful at night when lit by the soft glow of burning lamps. It is hard to find a more #exalted sign of spring, breaking free from winter's icy grasp.

One day the trees will put forth their mist of green and exalt under a warm sky. Blossom cascading in a bridal veil across the path. Bird song and bright petals. We will open our arms wide to embrace the sun and forget that we were ever hidden in snow. One day….

Ok, apprentice, the key to a steak sauce is to #exalt the senses.
- exalt?
It means to heighten. Anyway the key to a steak sauce is to #exalt the senses
- heighten?
Yes.
- how?
Learn the flavour of the meat then add salt and pepper and herbs. And the secret ingredient.
- ?!

With shatter talk I couldn’t help but think of confessions, conduct and seat combine to an electric chair, then rat becomes a snitch. I guess I found connections.

#blossom
so beautiful
yet wilted leaves
toxic
its flotsom
so innocent
to those
who happen
by
they would never
guess it brings death,

My brother said "I do suppose
That there's no sweeter smell than a rose"
So he sniffed the sweet blossom
And out popped a possum
Which bit off the end of his nose
The #vssdaily #prompt for 3/31/26 was #blossom
a rustle of leaves
she sees a hummingbird
(not a rat)
a conductor in its wings
flitting and beating to unheard music
a trumpet honeysuckle
moldable to its sway

Yeah I saw that #film
gobsmacked in my #seat
Ben was a #rat
the meanest you'd #meet
sent his army #requests
#conduct them to kill
Ben is a #legend
I remember him still

We made the #rats to surveil our enemies, and occasionally attack them. But when they eventually seized control of our society and took over, their king demanded to #meet the human president. He had one special #request: Human #conduct from then on must be humane

I smell a #rat
yes indeed you do; check out the #rack
what kind of #conduct is this?
drip dry ratvioli, ratdogs, and the Ratatouille is in the stew pot

Look at that filthy #rat on my #seat!
Hey, be nice. He can’t help what he looks like.
I’m not talking about your brother. Look!
Oh, a real rat. Well, he can’t help it, either.
Where’s the cat? Time for him to earn his keep.
Probably sleeping somewhere. I’ll find him.

If one doesn't agree with the #conduct of a cat, then perhaps in another life they lived as a #rat. Except three a.m. zoomies. That's just ridiculous.
#vss365 #vssdaily #amwriting
Conduct yourself accordingly. Be gracious to all, rat or mosquito, snail or slug. We are all in a shared existence with our own melancholy & small quest. Given a space to breathe, a tiny part on the earth that will not remember. We live together as earthbound stars.
#vssdaily rat
#vss365 conduct
A #request chewed in plasterboard. A promise of safe #conduct. He agrees to #meet the #rats living in his walls.
"Truce," they offer. He scoffs.
"I could never trust a rat!"
He stays as they try to convince him. Long enough to scatter poison throughout their home.
