He walks through the halls of the school, savoring the #splendor to each side of him. His had been the deciding vote that created this space, the project that became the soul endeavor of both the haves and the have-nots. This town fights hard for its survival.

#Vss365, #splendor

When, moth-like, you emerge at last from your cocoon of shadows,
You may feel drawn to her splendor as a moth is to a flame.

Feeling #Lethargic
My vision blurred by a #catharact

My life sure ain’t a #splendor
But I’m not #timid either.

Just tired, with poor vision.

Buds of three flowers on the cusp of blooming

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

Still ill; I hope this #lethargy diminishes soon…Wherever you are, be safe, Sweet Souls🫶

Love & miss you all,

Poppies revel
In the #splendor
Of blindness
As we grow #cataracts
When in love

Every vein brims
With poison

We crush the pods
Stain our fingers
Milk the sap

Knowing sedation
Coma & death
Await

Still, it's too captivating
To let go

So we handle with care
& hope for the best

If you turn it clockwise long enough, it will show you the #splendor of the setting sun, the waning of the #forlorn moon. Up the #curly #tower stairs with your mind's eye for a better view. Caution: if #wound too tight it will break.

.... to think
all I did
was press a seed
into the soil
and it responded
with the splendour
of its bloom

The light through the trees
The only clothing I need;
Dress me in #splendor

“If you not so #obsessed with the #quest I'd #forgive you!” The pixie fluttered.
The elven pilot punched it. " #Cerberus is of Hades #Steel! We #thread that #orbital gap at full #velocity and #splendor awaits!”
“If the #gambit fails?”
“Death.”

9,000 miles/14,000 kilometers southeast beyond the river and trees is the Philippines, where I will move after I sell the boat.

gifts all around us
just waiting for us to see
what we are made of
it's hard to see splendor
with humanity's cataract

#vss365 #cataract #splendor #tanka

Splendor of freedom
A feeling unknown to me
Hope crushed in a bud

#splendor #vss365 #haiku

Strange light
Entropic #splendor of ruptured space
Looseknit team of atoms rearranged.

In the wind
Theseus flotsam currents
Here and there
& Britglish back again.

Lockheed cure for #cataracts?
Yep. I'm in the wind
Having just poured one placebo drink
& sat down at my desk to think.

The #timid #splendor of sunrise was diffuse over the horizon, through the #cataract of the morning dew. The rooster heralds the bustling world, and the dark of night unfolds like an eyelid.

And thus, the earth wakes.

You only visit the pantheon for a night.
The gods, in their #splendor, shine like Leyendecker people.
You wake, thinking your suspicions were correct: it was a dream, it must have been.
And yet you shine a little ever after, with a drop of divinity, a party favor.

Where was this #splendor they spoke of, Maya wondered. All the world looked like a watercolor painting someone had crafted with too much water, too little color. Until the day she had her first #cataract removed, and she wept at the sight of her lovely daisies.

Redwoods grow in cathedrals of #splendor
Where sprites gather fiddleheads tender
But beware those wee fae,
When the fog's thick and grey,
They'll make off with your gold and your gender

"You still live in the past. You believe in a #splendor that is no more. We're surrounded by poison and decay. Nothing you can do will change that."

"I don't believe you."

"I don't care. I'm leaving. You can do as you see fit."

"I..."

Diana never wanted to return to her childhood home, but her family had always been unlucky. The dusty ballroom was sad to behold, all that #splendor faded with time, the music and dancing over.
The gun prodded her back.
“Hurry up,” her cousin coughed. “Where’s the safe?”

Dawn paints the sky with fiery splendour. My smudged eyes open to a stubbled chin mumbling excuses. The spell has been broken. My heart too.

The #splendor of the remote Rectallus System, with its many ringed planets and chocolate-tinged gas clouds, is only overshadowed by the terrible odour that permeates even the vacuum of space. It isn't known the ass end of the galaxy just for shits and giggles.

#splendor
like headlights' light
on the road from Goulburn
to split the milky way in two

like it's the easiest thing
to pull the universe apart
for a wider road to Sydney

& this other universe that must
be faster than the speed of light
for how much needs to be
moved townwards in the night

While we be
Soak it all in
The Sun’s #splendor
The Moon’s glow
The Earth’s smell
Do not be #timid
For it’s only Time,
The stealer
Should be our only fear
While we be

Looking back
language degradation
became inflection pointed
in a negative direction
with the acceleration
of acronym tech texting

Once the #splendor of language
was hand held bastardized
communications were marginalized
beyond all human recognition

It's an old house, we tell our guests. You'll get used to the moans and groans, the drafts and chills. The wandering eyes in paintings and the old dowager who paces the attic? All part of the restored Victorian #splendor. Suitable for children? Absolutely! Ghosts love hide and seek. #vss365

#vss365
Spring wakes
from winter’s slumber.
Insects rise,
quiet in their labor.

Spiders spin,
threads taut
with lives unseen.

Birds return
with song & seed.
Yards quicken for
the #splendor of flower & weeds.

Bees lift air
with honeyed wings.
Ants colonize
ground no longer green.
habitable grace.

Must I spell #splendor without the U? Must I confound it all with meter? Must I forget what makes English grand, and not give honour to the French measurement?

No, I don't have to, so flourish #splenour that we can measure in metres
