Here is a new poem, not today's #vss365 poem, but it still is. It is called "From In a Title." I was always enamored by #georgecarlin ability to play with the simple rules of the English language. This is my attempt. #poetry #poem #poetsofbluesky #writing

Dirt exploded under each tremor-inducing strike of the thoroughbred's hooves. The knight's gauntlets squealed: steel twisting and binding on rivets. Such was the strain for an armoured warrior to stay aboard a medieval unit of power. Sunday's #vss365 #prompt is #thoroughbred

Cutting Medicaid isn't just a budget decisionβ€”it's a denial of care. Whether it's the government or a for-profit company restricting access to healthcare, the result is the same: people suffer, + lives are lost. Healthcare is a human right. 🚨 #Medicaid #HealthcareForAll #deny #defend #dumptrump

Oh, rain cloud in the distance Darkened by our petulance Let it out, let it pelter! Remind us that our woes Are trivial and small Let your nature do nurture And reset our souls Friday's #vss365 #prompt is #petulance (or petulant) Image: wallpaperflare.com
