Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 9 is #bones

"...a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool."

T. S. Eliot

he couldn't be found
no matter what she tried the
mold always shattered

#FromOneLine 404 #prompt #poetry #poetrycommunity #writing #writingcommunity #haiku

“Have you seen Sir, Miss Davenport?”

“He couldn’t be found, Hargreaves.”

“I didn’t say he was lost. I was just asking if you’ve seen him.”

“How dare you insinuate that I’ve done something abhorrent to him… again, Hargreaves. If I had feelings, I’d cry.”

#FromOneLine

He Couldn’t Be Found He couldn’t be found there was no one there of course, decades spent as a conduit, fitting in, nothing more than an empty people pleaser. His coffin felt hollow, the eulogy generic but scrupulously polite, the few dutiful faces realised only then he had successfully managed to navigate an almost entirely ripple-less life.

Hullo @fromoneline.bsky.social #fromoneline and to the marvellous Meg!

…and a Bird head from
multi colored construction paper.
You flapped your arms,
pretending to fly.
In retrospect I admire your creativity
and indulgence of a younger cousin.
You made a magical place
in a sad childhood.
The Banks had Mary Poppins
and I had Dawn.
2/2

#FromOneLine #398
When there were clouds
and we were young
You invented the Bird family
whose home was a castle
in the sky obscured by clouds.
Part of me knew it was
only a story and I loved you
all the more for its creation.
Paulie Bird gave me a ring
and you made feathered wings…

…disintegrated an entire family.
Who carried a dark secret?
Had he been killed?
Had he been kidnapped to be
raised by another family?
They never found out.
A cold case.
He had no grave.
A life uncelebrated but
not forgotten.
2/2

#FromOneLine #404
He couldn’t be found.
His family fell apart.
His parents divorced.
His father hung himself.
His mother raised his siblings,
though she distanced herself.
He was the ghost child in their family,
though it was his sisters and brother
who were ghosted.
One disappearance…
1/2

He couldn’t be found because he was never lost. He was an unmade path. A song at the edge that you could hum but never put words to. He was a sigh at the end of a long day. A familiar book that gathers dust but always knows that it is loved. He was never a question.

he couldn't be found
when he looked himself
in the eye
#FromOneLine #poetry #poetrycommunity

twas a minute past seven
when there was a knock at the door
a masked individual
with an unruly posse
no warrant in hand
no law of the land
just uneducated
rhetoric parroted from
a leader in the oval office

#fromoneline 402

twas two minutes past seven
and an innocent lay dead
on the threshold of his home
smoking gun in the hand
of another masked man.

#fromoneline 402

i was born in the snow
many winters ago
behind the wreckage
of a gypsy caravan
broken rear axle
free spinning wheel
moonlight kaleidoscope
flickered o'er scene
as kicking and screaming
i would be first seen

#fromoneline 403

He couldn't be found
Though I searched and searched
Maybe he didn't want to be
Woe is me
Unsteady heartbeat
Wondering why
Tears dried up
Forgotten to cry
Story of my life
Still I go on
Only thing I know
Life's a big con

#FromOneLine

He couldn't be found
an #odd #revelation
he sees in the #mirror
a once #regaled sensation
Father Time's #corrupt he gives a peek
then grabs it back a cruel streak
#protect ur #soul
or #perish it will
I check in on mine still

Where there were clouds,
massive ink blots loom.

Where people once stood,
there is the chill of empty space.

Where words once clustered,
there is only sparseness.

Where rain once fell,
arid lands spread,
clasping like hands.
