green promises

"I didn't think you'd #surpass me in rank," Rob Roy said. "Look at you being a General." He chuckled a little. "I #assure you that Jin kid. He's not all bad."
"I would be proud if there wasn't a mutiny," Cosmo said.
He felt the #warmth of Rob Roy's aura around him. #vss365

Just Sadness

There was a time when
you could assure me
That we would surpass all
that we have achieved.
Now with no reason or rhyme,
a president we can’t endure, he
Brings our nation to fail
thus our adversaries are so relieved.

You showed up

when it mattered,

to #assure me

of our safety—

while she gathered

all the tatters

of your day.

Safe I was not.

She loaded the gun;

you took the shot.

Smelling sulphur on the wind, Mara turned back to the city. Green flames raced through the streets, doing little to #assure her the job was going well…She turned her attention back to the Grand Magus’ Tower. Raised her staff, ready to bring the whole thing crashing down.

All city cameras have been destroyed. Cheers to the Blade Runners: this activist group has neutralised 90% of the cameras installed under a zero-emission scheme to penalise vehicles that fail to meet standards.

The #fake #news media have zero #shame, #care less about #abused #children and deserve our absolute #contempt.

ENGRAVING

World clock stuck on 11:59,
uncertainty assures the worst,

but then your heartbeats mallet me
with the chiselling of your words,

and I feel details, see relief;
my life's a certain art again.

The wolf will #assure you he means no harm
He may even believe it

You do not have to reciprocate

You will stray from the path
But his belly is soft
And your axe is sharp

Donald #Trump
didn't sell us computers that need antivirus subscriptions,
isn't wanted internationally for killing children with toxic vaccines,
didn't buy all our farmland to experiment on our food.

That's Bill Gates whom many attest & more #assure is criminal.

a bird with a red beak is standing on a grassy hillside ALT: a bird with a red beak is standing on a grassy hillside

The sky is deep blue
and the flowers poke through
and the days become long
As the winter moves on

You think the weather's secure
But you can rest assured
There will be another snow
After the robins come home
#vss365 #assure #poetry

Silent footsteps in the moor
#assure me that at core
there’s more to silence
than the quiet violence
after the wreckage of a storm
more to the nothingness of form
torn into the fabric of space
and I follow the wet traces
into the hollow
and in the dark
I find the sound
of my heart

74.1 ONE FINAL FIX
#vss365 #assure

war-damaged
bronze church bell
cannot #assure
imminent
peace

but its fractured
war-weary
stubborn tolls
try to reflect
stubborn hope

#vss365 #tanka #micropoetry

I hold too much of everyone
& too little of myself

I mend people like clay
Pressing gold
Into their fractures

I help voices rise
So their ghosts know:
"Yes, I'm alive!"

The wisps of your breath
#Assure me that my life
Is worthwhile

Yet no artist sees
The cracks in me
Worth gold

#vss365

I can't #assure you
that tomorrow
I'll be here,
or there, even if it's late

#vss365

#vss365 #amwriting #writingcommunity

You will #assure me and be glad you did because to see me angry? To see me disappointed? You don't want that to happen. I have the power to end you in so many ways. Your fortune is decided only by my favor or my lack of it. So, speak clearly and tell me no lies.

#assure
#poem

In winter wind
the snowdrops dance;
they are a kind
of life assurance.

I #assure you that its harmless
Quite affordable
And fun
No insurance necessary
Once it has begun
Filled with sound and color
Takes no batteries to run
Guaranteed excitement
All assembly pre-done
Act now.
Hurry quick!
You can have the first one.

dawn sunlight through blinds,
steam curling from cups

they ready and #assure their mate
wordlessly, with smiles and nods

bring on the day!

"I #assure you this painting is real,"
Said the art forger making the deal.
But the painter's signed name
At the edge of the frame
Had already started to peel.

He shut his laptop as the Evil Queen entered the shop.
“Refund me for this mirror,” she said. “It won’t #assure me I’m the fairest anymore.”
“They don’t lie forever. Warranty’s over, soz.”
“So if I ask what’s on your laptop, it’ll tell the truth?”
His wife looked up.
He refunded the mirror. #vss365

Jurōjin mirrored with his black pawn. “I #assure you, godfather. Perhaps you were born before chess was invented and feel entitled to change the rules, but my younger brain has the better memory.”

She meant to #assure me that all was right with the world, that my faith was not misplaced.

"I don't care what your friends say," Mom said, when I protested. "Would I lie to you?"

Turns out, she did. Right to my seven-year-old face. Swore Santa was real.

This is why I have trust issues.

The Devil’s in the Details

I assure you my good sir, this is the finest of linen and brocade, the lightest of silk. Direct from Paris.

An outfit fit for a king.

He skipped out, humming.

Sadly for him he was a fool, and the Devil does love a good joke.

The cemetery bell
was meant to #assure
all slept like the dead.

The night watchman’s
meager living wage
paid just enough to listen.

But bells don’t ring
if you cut the strings—
so all can rest in peace.
