🌷 🐤 Down-to-earth catmum w/a dash of scepticism & humour, writing Bob & Nora stories, no mass-tagging please, #vss365 - Sometimes the idea of adventure can be enough, even if we don't necessarily want to act on it in real life.

Bob and Nora strolled through the bustling market. "Every #emporium has so many interesting things to look at," Bob said, holding an antique clock. It made him think of his father who sadly passed away. He had an extensive collection of old photographs and clocks. #vss365

What if the #emporium could sell wisdom wouldn’t it make for a better world than men intent on creating chaos rocking a steady boat Two intimidators with no place at the table of diplomacy attacking the wrong man their hands on his throat #vss365 #emporium

A mannequin Displayed in an #emporium I float suspended Life rolls on by Pretty little pieces of magic Swirl ahead around me & I’m not there I need you to pull me out But you’re elsewhere Not needing to shop For a cheap doll like me #vss365 #satsplat #unrequitedLove

"Sholmes, why suspect a jar of jam?" "It’s from the crime scene Hatson" "#emporium?" "Yes,I think its laced with clues" "What clue?" "An ancient recipe for a perfect crime" "What’s our next step?" "We'll get bread" "A jam sandwich for lunch?" "Precisely Hatson" #vss365

there are storms scattering camellia blossom in their petulant wake later we collect petals their magenta tears not yet wilting this place is too exuberant you say afterward too gaudy an #emporium for fools but these are just words says your smile as you choose blossoms shaped like hearts #vss365

For the past 6 mos, the inhabitants of Earth had observed the sun transition from yellow to a deep hue of red. That red was now becoming black.The clouds above began to shape into a circle & ascend higher in the sky. Their eyes traced the contours of the round clouds. A panic fell upon them. #vss365

#outlier haunted that word, following everywhere. belonging, what is that? grasping never to connect outcast, always friends, even family no understanding how could they? the outlier, haunted #vss365 #poem #poetry

At the football game, Bob noticed Nora was an #outlier among the crowd with her handmade banner with red letters. She wished it would attract the camera's focus, allowing them to be featured on the TV broadcast. Bob would be so excited if his coworkers saw him. #vss365

Whispering echoes from my youth arise As i tread the path of memories wise Medieval scenes enchant my eye Where castles in mystical forests lie Concrete replaces nature's #psithurism so sweet Childhood photo's are all we keep *R🖤 #BlueskyRelay #poetry #nature #photography #blackandwhite #writing

You noticed them, haven't you? They've always existed on the fringe of our vision. Try ignoring them. The more they're acknowledged, the bolder they get, until they obscure your view entirely. But they can show you things worth going blind for. If you're desperate enough that is. Like I was. #vss365

I study your face The intricate #contours, that Makes me love you more #vss365 #haiku

Rory followed the #contour of the mountain, circling above the horde of goblins that seemed to mass at the bottom. He tried to avoid them as best he could because these goblins weren’t bothering anyone, they were just in the way. A secret temple lay within their lands, ready to plunder. #vss365

"The fish is whispering,Sholmes" "Secrets, probably, Hatson" "Secrets?" "Yes, Hatson. Observe the #contour of the ripples..." "Contour?" "Yes, Hatson. It’s a coded message" "What does it say?" " I demand a lawyer" "Our next move?" "Apprehend fish immediately" #vss365

You explore the contours of your life to remember where you've been, like those times you didn't know how you were going to keep living, so you half-lived the best you could when you felt hollow inside and tried to fill yourself but nothing filled you like self-acceptance does. #vss365 #contour

silk contour of a dream— where does the rain stop? here the edge frays. #vss365 #contour

i think it's about being able to walk on nothing... an interim space of unknown... like trusting the sky will always change... picasso-pallet-shades... ©Memoir WIP 📸dww #vss365 #writingcommunity #amwriting #nature #naturephotography #photography #writesky #sunset #landscapephotography #spiritual

Bob and Nora sat on the sofa during a commercial break on TV. Bob traced the #contours of Nora's face with his hand. "Every line is beautiful," he said, regretting his choice of words instantly. Nora wanted to roll her eyes, but the sincerity in his eyes stopped her. #vss365

His last meal had been eaten, or at least partially. His appetite for his bacon cheeseburger & fries had diminished as the ticking clock counted down to the "event". He sat on the edge of the bed anxiously waiting during the interim of the prayer by the pastor & his walk to the chair. #vss365

interim of cloud distant murmurations a leaf falls to prayer #vss365 #interim #haiku

Bob was already a bit late for work. He quickly ate a bowl of cereal and had to skip reading the newspaper. "I expected this #interim before I head out to be a bit more peaceful," he mumbled. Nora got Bob his work boots and told him that the clock was ticking. #vss365

In the interim, I sit and stare Waiting for something that isn’t there An echo hums, a hollow tune Filling the space between late and soon It’s not forever, just in between A silent pause in the unseen Yet in this gap, this vacant room Emptiness lingers, consumes. #vss365

The #Interim When I come home from work she's not there, when I clean up the kitchen she's not there, when I prepare dinner she's not there. Sometimes the wait seems so long, she turns into a monochrome memory. But the colours return the second she opens the door #vss365

Courageous as she was with trimming small pieces of her hair, Nora's attempt at cutting her #fringe this time led to a choppy, jagged result. "Are you going for an abstract look?" Bob casually commented as he saw her walk by. #vss365

Early in the morning Without coffee Everything sounds Like a #sonic boom clap I can’t deal Especially Monday mornings Truth be told told I don’t even drink coffee I’m a tea girl Why the hell am I moaning Grr Monday mornings #vss365

#poem #poet #poetry #writingcommunity

Balcony So high, clouds touch And Watch In awe Castle, thick walls Supporting As Around her Birds mass Their black feathers Darken The already darkening sky She stands reflective Her soul laying In dust About her feet Head bent Tears fall In agony Of The loss Of her king

Bob and Nora attended a concert in the town square and got caught up in the energetic atmosphere. They stumbled upon a street performer who was talented at creating #sonic percussive music. "I could listen all day," Bob told Nora as he bit on a pretzel. #vss365

I was traveling at supersonic speed, I know, but stay with me here, I flew through my life in record time thought it was over many times but I was given some second chances to slow down to walking speed, embrace the blessings detach from the world's chaos and create order in my life. #vss365 #sonic

Hello Scribblers... 'Heady' #poetry #passion #roses #sonic #vss365

Bob and Nora watched a program about #thoroughbred horses on TV. One particular horse stood out. It had a beautiful chestnut colour. Bob petted Leo the cat, who was sitting on the armrest of the sofa. How would he feel seeing such an impressive animal? #vss365

"Look. I found a perfect place." "You lost yo mind!" "There's a problem?" "This is in The Zone." "So, it's at the edge." "So I'm not getting my blood drained by Fangs for your illegal shit." "Fangs is only a gang name." "Hell no! You really not from here if you think that!" #hbp119 #sff #vss
