Trace a path along the tilt of the earth
find your #verve chasing magnetic north
share how it feels to be an albatross
following those invisible lines through fog
never losing your way

"Libertine?" Ladislaw paced around the room. He noticed all of Casaubon's books had gone and how the mice typed with such #verve, barely a quiver of recognition of him in their whiskers. Their ears turning like satellite dishes, picking up distant signals ready to be decoded and reported.

Floating around with such #verve, the alien spectres glowed green. I thought the #medicine i’d taken played tricks, but then they spoke:

“#Write us the promise this #instance in your blood!”

Then I remembered the ufo, my old promise; Earth was in danger again.

a forest of silk flesh limbs
odd orb lighting, a milliard little suns
no path save the one
this breath, this foot forward
and so on sowing a sewn into
march hare dares North
wear mountain hair lament
rain and river bends, courtesans
and escorts a soul ports
carriage thirst how we bathe here

An Autumn scene with daylight in lean... a forest floor covered in scattered, fallen leaves... the following quote embedded --->

“It is pointless trying to know where the way leads. Think only of the first step. The rest will come.”

Yes, something scary about broken and discarded toys...
they do bring a certain kind of seasoning to a poem
like the zest and leaves soup craves... 🥣🙏🌱🍊

orange zest
and fresh bay leaves
in a chicken soup
is almost as good
as nesting
not quite but almost
we edge day into night
shelf dusty elves
under leaf morrow
marrow stretch tea method
jelly legged here as well
when the soup is on
we stir
served
serving
verve
breath and path

Here's my downbeat effort for such an upbeat word

Verve Averse

lurks,
lumps of shine
glaring,
teeth points shArdened

I

hands empty,
spine soft,
in fear
of the

"What's wrong with Billy?" she asked, "He's just sitting there like a zombie."

"He's fine," her grandma replied, "I've just been siphoning off his #verve and giving it to your grandfather."

"Why does grandpa need his verve?"

Her grandma blushed, "You'll find out when you're older." #vss365

‘You’ve got some #verve.’

‘Doncha mean nerve?’

‘No. Not everyone can pull off that look of casual disdain while knocking over an old lady.’

‘It’s just how I roll.’

‘You’re like a bittersweet symphony.’

"Someone’s switched all portraits with selfies, Sholmes"

"#Verve meets vanity, Hatson"

"But why?"

"To modernize history"

"Geriarty?"

"No, his intern. Geriarty prefers impressionism - of himself"

This particular
#Instance propelled me to #write
With a fervid #verve

He held secateurs
Golden curls between the blades
Threats hanging like fog

The estate at large
I penned verse and line with care
Left nothing to Chance

...if only he could read

Funny as a Halloween pumpkin, how there’s so much to be said about the obvious. Yet the smooth, empty words of the crooked politician elevated her station.
