I could have all the prompts prepared
& ready to deploy
Instead I'm here, no time is left
& let's just say oh boy
If I had planned to be the host
just a day in advance
I'd do this at my #leisure, even do a li'l dance

The October 16th #BlueSkyRelay #prompt is #leisure

Want to host Oct 22-28? DM me.
The rhymes are silly and on the nose on purpose, don't tell anybody but there might actually be a slight theme 🤫 Write a very short story or poem containing or relating to the prompt and tag it #blueskyrelay. October 16th: leisure Text on top of a photo of a garden, perspective from under an apple tree, a sunlit stone path, on its opposite sides a watering can laying on its side in the grass and a garden hose.

When the boys invited me to a house of #leisure, I was quite beside myself with excitement at the prospect of unveiling my new velveteen smoking ensemble, complete with quilted lapels and an expression of moral superiority.

Moonlit stroll for leisure
Autumn trees a pleasure
heard an unearthly scream
that old house off grid
a manly fellow came out
know what he did?
he shook with all his might
& said the network's down tonight

The dark water stills,
Muscles uncurl in the rich, heavy warmth,
Languid and complete.

I’m a little behind, so for yesterday’s
#vss365 #beetle #blueskyrelay #impromptu #vssdaily #doorway

The hole in my shoe
A doorway impromptu
the bugs got through
Ants, beetles, and a worm
In my toes they squirm
Now I must come to term
With a new bounce in my step

It lives within
An unearthly desire
A fire I hide
A need
To take apart
See what’s inside
A work of art
Loving and nice
I’ll cut and slice
With patience
And with care
A leisurely affair
Taking what I like
I’ll keep what’s left
Of you on ice

What is #leisure
Letter by letter
Is it pleasure
Without pressure?
I would treasure
Such an endeavor

there is no
retirement,
no #leisure
from this
capitalist
slavery
you
must always
have money to survive
and survival
is not for the fittest
or the smartest
but the luckiest to be
born with wealth
to create wealth

Leaves falling slowly
is all that's ever needed
to write great haikus

Leaves leisurely fall
Slowly descend to the ground
Seek their final rest.

They spoke of leisure as if it were a birthright, sipping gin beneath the balcony while the world frayed quietly at the edges. They heard of the putsch in Munich, but paid no mind to brown shirt hooligans. The spread of the Prohibition movement in America to Europe was more worrisome.

Love the setting! Don't really vibe with the AI picture with double hands.
