I wouldn’t consider you
a downpour
a torrent
or even a shower

More of an incipient
#drizzle
seeping into weekend plans
and muddying
my shoes

We’re halfway thru our time together & I’m more amazed than ever at the talent of this community. 🙏✨

Your #vss365 #prompt for Jan 23 is #drizzle

Song: Kathy’s Song—Simon & Garfunkel

Lyrics:

“I hear the #drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls”

youtu.be/fXZyDtzDJMY?...

A vessel I wrought
of intention and dream
sits scuttled below
(an inept submarine)
And all that remains
as I weep on the pier
is the mooring and rope
that once anchored her there
I'd #unmoor her, I should
a gift to the sea
for the seasons have turned
and she's anchoring me

Hello, talented friends! Can you believe we’re on Day 7 together? 😮

Your #vss365 #prompt for Jan 22 is #unmoor

Song: evermore by Taylor Swift ft. Bon Iver
Song lyrics:

“Hey December
Guess I'm feeling #unmoored
Can't remember
What I used to fight for”

youtu.be/EXLgZZE072g?...

You would have me #bend
But I despise false idols—
and your golden lies

What waits
beyond this utterance
Where Inattention looms?
When purpose falls
to happenstance
and nihilism blooms;
So voice again
in present tense
these self-fulfilling curses—
another song of innocence
proclaims its final verses
