That writing prompt was a gas. Glad you thought so, I feel like I whiffed it. Well, not to toot my own horn, but... No, just stop. Time to change the subject. And besides, I'm hungry. Do we have any snacks Hold on, I'll go cut some cheese. #vss365 #WritingCommunity #halfbadpoetry

Eddies and #slipstreams riptides and undertows Maelstroms and tsunamis The rage of rising seas. One hand for the boat. Lean into the rapids Ahoy there Up on deck, Look like heck We're all in the same boat Best start paddling. #vss365 #WritingCommunity #halfbadpoetry

What have you done?! When I said #bloodlines I was talking about your cousin Vlad, not fingerprinting with the neighbors. Sorry mom Well, I should hope so. Now go and pack. Then we'll figure out what to do with....all this... #vss365 #WritingCommunity #halfbadpoetry

Freedom! Freedom, don't you see They'll cough and wheeze Of liberty And, since I'm speaking honestly I struggle with my empathy And a growing cruelty Towards those who would so willfully Act dumb. #halfbadpoetry #WritingCommunity #measles?!WTF
