#dogs #tilley #borderaussie #photography Hiking!

When the #lightning flashed
Veinous through the night
And the thunder crashed
Like a hammer of the gods
The relentless tears
of the cracked open sky
As the heavens cried
Another shock
And the silence of men
In their cowardice
Then the hammer struck again

Good morning from Tilley #dogs #tilley #photography #borderaussie

Time has bars
and the lock
was cast open for me
Once free to come
and go as I please
But now the cell
is mostly closed
and I sit spellbound
by the walls
Scratching time
in blocks of five
Cognizant of the
preciousness of life

In dark places
Jewelry adorns the sky
Diamonds that sparkle
And a pearl of great size
Nothing to pay
And nothing to buy
Just a dazzling display
That hangs for your eye

Thank you Peter💙♥️

Magnanimous Mitch
Found a dog in a ditch
Suffering alone
So he carried it home

But the dog didn't stay
He just bolted away
Leaving Mitch all alone
In his generous home

she blows and she blows
those bountiful bubbles skyward
childhood ecstacy

"All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal." John Steinbeck

Buds of three flowers on the cusp of blooming

petals will open
but its splendor is timid
once bloomed death follows

you broke my routine
carb-stuft Sunday brunches
fingers syrup sticky
pieces of napkin stuck
to my don’t-give-a-fuck face
as if i’d forgotten
a reason to bother
no chapstick for tacky lips
content in neglect
indolent locks unkempt
weekend lethargy
feeds another nap

Board Rules

Victors dictate the way,
And change it as they play,
Throughout each passing day.

Flags show a shared design,
Where fleeting pacts align,
A fragile, shifting line.

Waiting for the sun to break through
this fog that hangs in lethargy
dangling like a weight upon the trees
damp and dead where light should be glistening
burst through lost luminosity
this day as yet has tiny feet
and there is another side to the street
#vss365 #lethargy #poetry

Indeed!!

NEGATIVE LIGHT

When it comes to the news,
We’ve all got cataracts,
Cos every source has an agenda,
Clouding the truth with their own colours.
And if you can’t see that,
Then you’ve been blinded by the light
They shine into your face.

#vss365 #cataract 👁️

Would that we could sit alone
Mist rising from the cataract's foam
And scratch our names into the stone
Like the others did
In the simplicity of nice
Before we were
Dragged under by device
#vss365 #cataract #poetry

There at the edge
the sun rises
and once again
without regret
promises broken
such splendour
has lost its colour
to a bomb

‘Hand me another beer, will ya?’

‘Drinking sure helps with the waiting while we’re hunting.’

‘I’ll say. You sure this is Jackalope territory?’

‘They’re very #timid & only come out at night.’

‘I’ve only seen dead ones mounted on walls.’

‘Same’

‘Sure is a good excuse to drink out here.’

A frozen tale for these modern times.

Timid child
won't you step outside
there is light
in the garden of life
there's truth in a whisper
and a whistling bird flies
softly under its wing
for silence only lies

Hello all you lovely, wildly talented #vss365 people! I have so enjoyed my time as your host. Your creativity has never ceased to astound me every day!

Today, February 28, is my final day as your host. From tomorrow on, look for the prompt words from @cribbowens.bsky.social.

two faces of love
writhe with pleasure
writhe in pain
a thrilling quest
a foolish game
a thousand years
the consequence
remains the same
yet still we play
addiction wins
we just can't turn away
#vss365 #quest #poetrycommunity

In your quest
walk the stones
The sand is soft
and full of bones
#vss365 #quest #poetry

-
be it eyesight
or foresight,
i shall defend us
and the purity of our love.

disregard the others,
no one is tilting
at windmills,
giants stand poised
at the border.

think not of me
as your hero, no,
just a man on a horse
on a quest to rescue
what remains of honor.

Rory completed the #quest, receiving the reward and immediately started to search for the next marker that would carry him on to the next section.

He’d played this one before and knew it would involve several more parts before he fully completed it. It was one of the more involved ones.

In his #quest to find answers about the fate of Delphi, Dylan stormed through Fleet Headquarters and didn’t give a damn whether he was supposed to be there or not.

Someone had to know how The Enemy got through the lines and, if they didn’t, they’d better damned well find out, and soon.
