I'm not just being magnanimous when I say that #vss365 creativity is dazzling to behold. As those who know me will attest, I'm attracted to shiny things. Let your writing sparkle with the March 7 #prompt, #jewelry.

Your bountiful offerings for #vss365 have been a pleasure to read. Will you be as generous with the March 6 #prompt, #magnanimous? I can't wait to see!

Know a #bounty’s
On my head
Cuz I ain’t been
No Saint

Tho hunt for me
Is over
I got
Just one complaint…

Gun you’re pointing
At my head
Is making me
Feel faint

Stumble
And disarm you
Proving sharp-of-wit
You ain’t

I guess this means
What I felt
Was really more
A β€œfeint” 🀭

Lethargy was no problem for the gifted writers of #vss365. The range of responses you give is most impressive. Therefore, I expect nothing but your usual brilliance with the March 5 #prompt #bountiful.

There was a cataract of excellent writing for Tuesday. Hopefully the creativity wasn't too taxing, as there is more to do. Wake yourselves up and overcome any tiiredness for the March 4 #prompt, #lethargy.

The flimflam man
Came back to town
With wagon
Full of crap

This time
He’s pushing snake oil
That he claims
Cures #cataracts

No way in Hell
This stuff’s gone workβ€”
He likes
His suckers blind

I chuckle
As I watch them fight
For place
In checkout line

None of you were timid with your splendor, as I knew would be the case. Enjoying your #vss365 posts is such a privilege. Now, to cloud things up a bit, I offer a #prompt with several meanings. Whether you choose to go liquid or visual, the word for March 3 is #cataract.

My enemy’s
A Peacock
While I’m
A Red-tail Hawk

So while
He struts in #splendor
His pompous tail
I stalk

Tho he’s got
Some pounds on me
I’m sure
To make him squawk

And while he
Pontificates
My razor claws
Gone talk

The artistry and imagination of #vss365 participants are second to none. Such wonderful creations you provided for us all. For March 2, give your offerings to the #prompt #splendor.

~a sky beneath the sky~

#timid feathers
of baby geese
loose down
from eider ducks
stuck like glue
on the lakebed
steady in the muck
clouds underwater
the sky inverted
skirting reality
where doves dance
and house wrens cry

From a young age
I learned to wear #timid
like armour
small and soft
no glamour
because it's safer
to keep your head down
and pretend you don't matter

but every year that goes by
gets harder
patience grows thinner
teeth get sharper

because I'm not really
timid
at all

She stirred, repeating the spell until the potion emitted a #timid and disappointing, β€œPlop!” She’d expected more of a β€œWHOOMPF!”

But, outside the screams started, and then gunshots.

She smiled.

Time has no enemy, no predator stalking it. It marches relentlessly, inexorably grinding down the fabric of any civilization that stands before it. Uncontrollable, merciful, that is until the bureaucrats evolved.

The #quest should not have been so hard, perhaps if i didn't ask, 'how long?"
