Please Hold

Today had an OS to load before writing…

coffee, writer's block

honesty – #SoCS

Honesty is hardly ever heard, and mostly what I need from you.

authenticity, happiness, honesty, integrity, selfishness

out from the sun

travel with me.

#FFFocus, characteristics, gods, names, planets, solar system

Sonnet XVIII – Fear Not the Poet

Fear not the poet’s cryptic form or rhyme.

clarity, obfuscation, Poetry, Prose, risk, unknown

continuum

a series of asymmetrical cycles?

#poetics

the faerie tale bowl

the bowl remains just as full…

#picandawordchallenge, #pixtowords, bottomless, endless, energy, gold, light

crying eyes cast downward

This canvas was not meant to be pierced.

authenticity, choices, damage, integrity, repair, wellness

filler

working on a “thing”

#tanka, filler, haiku, pointless

a lot of nerve – #SoCS

Different is good

abstract, appreciation, intent, Jackson Pollock, Millet, painting, Poetry, Prose, Purpose, realism, writing

Yes! Oh, Yes! Oh…No, Not Yet.

Just what would that look like, a day with no “no”s?

#FFFocus, choices, consequences, Freedom, responsibility, rules

Postmodern Taboos

Welcome to the future.

absolutes, postmodern, relativity, truth

the midnight call

dark hours accuse, misuse, abuse, confuse. The hope of living rises with the sun.

faded glory

Try as I might, I just can’t see the beauty.

#picandawordchallenge, #pixtowords, beauty, being present, dying, life and death, mindfulness

absurd echoes

look at why you don’t cry; cry about why you can’t.

cry, dissonance, Echo, laugh

paint chip vacation

whilst tripping through the polychromed portal…

contentment, distraction, focus

both/and – #SoCS

Today’s prompt looks like a choice of two options. We were simply given “above/below” and told to write a stream … More

binary, binary thinking, choices, dimmer, non-binary, SoCS

not in on the joke

party guests – only excellent owls.

#FFFocus, exclusive, inclusion, Super Bowl, Superb Owl

Learn THIS before THAT

“OK, that’s cool, but I still don’t know what “y” is, so who cares?”

distributive property, learning, process, simplification, simplify, solve

Sonnet XVII- navel gazing

Gazing the navel will skew what is true.

focus, navel gazing, others, Purpose, self-absorbed

standing. still.

“I need you. I’m scared” ~ 4:23 a.m.
